    Thank you so much for this. My dad has been a truck driver for over 35 years. He is normally gone for 5 to 6 months at a time but only home for about 3 to 4 days when “off”. Thank you to all the drivers especially during this last year. They are the super heroes of the road! 💙

    As a retired long haul trucker, I have to say that this is one of the least offensive videos on trucking I've seen. To their credit, they ask reasonable, intelligent questions, genuinely seeking to understand the driver's life. For a tiny, encapsulated view of life on the road, this is a really good video. And the Iowa 80 trucks top really is one of the best. I used to stay overnight there regularly.

It's interesting to see what the biggest truck stop in the world is like. Loved this episode!

    I’ve never seen any of your videos, but this one popped up in my feed. I’m glad you found the Iowa 80 truck stop worth the time that you spent there. My wife worked in the trucker’s showroom until she decided to retire. She met a lot of truckers during her years there and she really enjoyed her job. If you come back this way, be sure to stop during the annual Truckers Jamboree, which is usually held during the week after Independence Day. If you really want to see some nice trucks, this is the event to attend and many of the truck drivers will let you in their trucks for an inside viewing. Thanks for the video and putting Iowa on your list of places to visit.

It's truly an amazing place for truckers and pretty much anyone who's even interested in trucks. I love what I do for a living, greatest job in the world. 7 years and I've gotten to see 48 states. You guys should go to the other Iowa 80 properties. They are as follows: I44 Petro in Joplin Missouri, I70 Petro in Oak Grove Missouri (right outside Kansas City) and I95 Petro in Kenley North Carolina. All are really great truck stops and all have something unique to see. Awesome video.
