{"text":"Hi everybody, I’m writing a paper for class on trucking and was wondering if I could ask you some questions? Could anybody tell me if you’re going over the road, do you normally fuel up at trucks stops or do you sometimes stop at smaller gas stations? And how many trucks are usually at a truck stop?\n\nThanks so much!!!\nMaggie","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"No, truckers dont fill up at small gas stations, the truck is too long and too high, it will hit the canopy over the fuel pumps.Also the trucks get another liquid called \"DEF\" that they put into a seperate tank, most small gas stations dont have this. Alot of truck companies get a discount for fueling at certain truck stops, plus truck stops have nice showers,$12, but usually free if you buy a certain amount of gas, usually takes a little over $300 to fill up the truck tanks.You can also get a free drink everyday at PILOT/FLYING J truck stops if you use their app.Many truck stops provide laundry rooms and driver lounge areas, some have workout rooms, casino slots, mechanics,buffets, barbershops, fast food or reastraunts like dennys...Also truckers need to send in paperwork to their companies after they unload merchandise, and truck stops have the equipment to send this paperwork asap.Usually between 30-60 trucks in most truck stops, gets busy,  and hard to find a spot after nightfall.In my truck, i have a fridge, rice cooker, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, two beds, small closet, plenty of room for water and food and canned supplys, also have a burner with pots and pans, surround sound speakers, heating and air conditioning next to my bed...The hard part about trucking is being away from home, most people go home for a couple days a month, some dont go home for months...Plus its dangerous driving all the time with diffrent traffic, deer and animals on the road, and most people dont understand how heavy and how long it takes for these trucks to stop, people jump in front of trucks in their cars with no turn signal and slam on their brakes and the truck cant stop fast enough, boom accident...any way hope that helps","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I’m a Owner Operator and normally we fuel at smaller truck stop because of the lower pricing. Company Drivers tend to fill at big truck stop because big Trucking get a great discount at larger truck stop (Loves, TA, Petro, and Flying J ). The number of trucks at a truck stop depends on location, size and convenience of truck stop.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Miss Maggie, it depends. There are fuels stops, there are truck stops, and then some companies have their own fuel at their terminals. As a regional over the road driver, I usually use a truck stop. Most of the larger name brand truck stops (Loves, Petro, Pilot, Flying J, TA) have parking for anywhere from 25 trucks, to 100's of trucks. One of the largest truck stops in America is the Iowa 80, in Walcott, IA. It has parking for over 500 trucks. The Petro in Raphine VA is growing too. It has parking for over 400 trucks and is adding on more parking spots. They also offer a shuttle bus service to take you to the restaurant,  store, chrome shop, medical facility, etc.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"oh hate when they have a huge facility, charging outrageous prices on snacks and cereals, but only have two or three toilets!(dirty toilets too ,of course)...or even the rest areas with one or two toilets! Then the parking is tight and not enough spaces anymore...especially bad designs at rest areas, where you can park your truck but dont have enough room to get out, unless the truck next to you leaves!","replyToPid":26689}
