    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. #Vanlife was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

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.

    Boy oh boy does that bring back memories. In my first ever long haul run I took a load from Ontario, where I live, to California. I had lots of time, so I headed right for the Iowa 80 and spent the whole weekend there. Watched a lot of movies, great meals, and a haircut to boot. The main building hasn’t changed that much since I was there in the late 90’s, but I don’t remember the museum. Loved this episode in particular.

    As an OTR driver, I stop at Iowa 80 all the time. This place is absolutely awesome, it's a truckers paradise. The restaurant has some of the best food on the interstate. 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.

    I'm a OTR truck driver and I have stayed at this amazing truckstop twice, and always on my 34 hour reset. The amenities and food are awesome, but both times I got a parking spot waaaaaaaaaay out in the wilderness from the main building and it's quite a long walk, which is great for exercise. I wish there were more of these large truckstops across the country, especially along the major trucking traffic routes because parking a big rig can be difficult at times.

      To be fair they are a little higher on the diesel but thats because their set up to take trucks.

      Hey my dad is about to take me there tomorrow! One of our stories is that one day we were up at I-80 and we were doing a reset day and we headed over to the trucking museum, on our way out the sky looked almost black at 4 in the afternoon but it wasn’t raining yet so we started to head back to our truck to eat dinner while walking down the sidewalk my dad looked at me and just stopped walking and slowly backed away and told me to run to the truck. I was really confused and kinda freaked out but I did as I was told and we ran back, once we got inside I asked what was wrong and he just looked at me so relieved and said “all of your hair was standing up”. Anyways that’s how I almost got struck by lightning and that’s just one of the cool things that’s happened over the road. I have my own bed in our truck and spend most of my summer on the road and I have and will for years. In fact the sleeper truck they went into was the exact same one my dad has.
