Jubits in Portland Oregon. Also my favourite truck stops are the hole in the walls with diners that have almost been run off by the corporate truck stops. There is always parking at those and good food.
ha ! love the story ... I drove with 53' flatbeds from Ontario to Cali often with a 10'1" spread no sliders ... never got caught either ! LOL my dog loved the Iowa 80 and would go nuts everytime we got close... he loved that Dog-o-mat dog wash !!!
There is another one that a lot of people don't know about... it's more a parking lot than an actual truck stop, but it has plenty of amenities. it's next to the pilot in Wendover Nevada. It's huge, all kinds of parking, and the casinos got together to put in a truck driver's lounge. Showers are free, ice is free. But the main thing I go for is the 50% off coupon for any casino buffet or restaurant in the area. plus they have a shuttle that goes to all the casinos in the area that accept the coupons. I usually go right across the street to the Peppermill.
Iowa 80 always have parking no matter what time of the day/night....their my #1 but i have been to all 5...yes little america showers are the best and parking is great...grand island is great too...i pick up from that tyson plant all the time
I love the “Hat Six” in Casper WY as well, they have actual towels for the showers not just a rag to dry off with. And as an added bonus there was a towel warmer on the wall to hang your towel on lol.
I 20 Truck Stop in Lincoln, AL has a good restaurant if you can stand the cigarette smoke. Smithton Truck Stop on PA has a nice deli and you can buy and drink beer in there. 76th Street Truck Stop in Byron, MI has a great restaurant.
I can tell you 2 that you should avoid like the plague. I is in Tennessee it's on I 40 it's called the 440 truck stop on exit 440. The restuarant should be closed by the health dept it was really bad. Then there is the worst in romulus mi, it's off of course and sinister rd right off of I 94 exit 20. Man this place is really bad and keep your truck as far away from their garage as possible. I'm ashamed that I live 7 miles from this place. Man what a dump! Freaking Walmart garage could do better than this place. The bathrooms is nightmare fuel. Just a real bad place.
my #1 worst would have to be the pilot in shepherdsville, ky (just south of louisville). Never any parking at any time of day and even if you pay for a spot there's a bunch of idiots parking in the paid spots that didn't pay for them. Not the best part of town either.
Been to all of your top 5, and I was a little disappointed. Now your right about Little America, in Wyoming, but my disagreement was the restaurant, you almost have to have a bank in your back pocket to stop there. True it has a lot of parking and fuel pumps. And the showers are great, but any more the truck drivers have to watch their expenditures. Little America has to be on the high end of expensive truck stop. Love your content and your stories.
The best truck stop I've personally been to is Gordy's right by LaPine Oregon. It's a really cool mom and pop type of place, and they've got all sorts of neat old trucking pictures, and model trucks all over the place, and an old 50s style diner counter where truckers can sit and talk as they eat before parting ways. And they've got some of the best french toast I ever had.
Ever find yourself onI-65 in Atmore, Alabama check out the Creek Nation truck stop just south of their casino. Real nice folks. Great southern food in deli and restaurant. Big, easy lot and they keep the place clean. Great place for 10!
I'm going for CDL training in about a week, unfortunately with a megacarrier. I'll do my best to survive the first year. I hope in my time as a new driver I get to visit one or two of these places. Always good to hear from a veteran driver. Best prep I can think of for preparing for a career on the road.
Little America??? Are you kidding me? That place sucks!!!. Worst hamburger I have ever eaten EVER. Try the Sinclair south of Boise, ID one of my favorites. Great steakhouse and burgers.
Ive been to 3 off the moon familys big truckstops. I44 joplin is the one i go to most commonly 500 parking spots good food and slightly smaller chrome shop. Oak grove is small but has alot of parking. I80 in iowa i was busy looking around amazed
Russell's in Glenrio New Mexico is in my top 5 the biggest reason I'm classic car guy and like going in the museum and looking at the cars Clines Corner makes my list as well the restaurant has some really good food but I agree with Little America that's my number 1 as well
my fave would be I 80 then little america, would have to do more usa travelling to figuer out my top 5 stops. have been to illinois Chicago is the worst traffic iv seen. busy with work with the family business this time of year, still thinking of trucking part time in the winter, great story at the end, not making the clifford truck show canada day weekend have other plans once again
Little America?! Seriously?! That's a nasty place. I can never find a spot there when I really need it. The second time I was there, I was able to wedge myself into a spot, and then most of the bathrooms and showers were all out of order. I won't stop there at all anymore.
I haven't been to the Iowa 80 truck stop I love the petro in Joplin Missouri. There are 2 bosslemen pilots in Nebraska. I like some of the Kwik Trips in Minnesota and Wisconsin because they are like grocery stores.
I've been to R place in Morris several times, great food! I think they have a giant burger challenge where it's free if you eat it in an hour. Good baked goods as well, salad bar, everything is good!
I don’t agree with his no 1. Parking not even. Food not that great. Can’t say anything about the showers or rooms cuz never used them but I was disappointed to the point that if I go by one I just keep driving
Hey dave, is that Clearwater Mn truck stop fly the Canadian flag? I was at one somewhere in that area that did and it was a Petro. Oh my God that restuarant was off the chain! I we could eat there every day food was so so good! About Walcott, be great to see you there, but believe it or not they dont have everything there. They let me down twice. Once I wanted a really heavy duty 5th wheel puller. They just sell normal ones. Then I wanted a orange saftey vest. You would think a place like that would have every type of saftey product available, they have this tiny end cap on an idle with just a few sizes. I'm plus size got mine off of Amazon. Great input from you as,always. Really do hope someday I'll meet you.
Thanks for watching Jason! I can't recall seeing a Canadian flag at Clearwater but the description of the restaurant sounds like the right place to me!
MelsonWithTrucking DOT weigh station in joplin, mo will ruin someone's year. Horrible! Everyone I've ever asked or know says they have had really bad experiences.
For the ones who live in the southeast... 1. Petro, Hanceville Alabama. 2. Queen City, Meridian Mississippi. 3. Creek Travel Plaza, Atmore Alabama. 4. Petro, Hammond Louisiana.
Was just @ Iowa-80 in Wolcot this week. We have a regular run from Nashvile up to Dubuque and I love it because I know I can run on up without needing to worry with finding a spot.
You know, I used to stop years ago at a little truck stop in Richer that had the best perogies I'd ever eaten. I think it's gone now though. Side of the building was done up like the back of a trailer.
Great video Dave, I've been to all them truck stop as well (you picked some good ones) Little America is one fine truck stop, absolutely love the home cooked food there, even my wife said, this food is very good!
The Petro in Salina Kansas. Truck stop clean and modern but the reason it is my favorite is the shower. I've always requested shower #1 so I'm not sure about the rest but #1 has a big bench seat along with a 40" tv behind the mirror. All marble and the shower has nearly 10 shower heads. If you ever stop, request shower #1 you won't be disappointed.
Dave Dispatcher lie! As a truck driver I have never outright lied. However I have been known to to expound to great extent, especially on single sheet logs! ELDs - takes a little bit of software on my laptop to be able to expound! However with cameras out there recording every scale point and fuel cards all having time stamped receipts, resteraunts same way, It is not near as easy! Me? I'm not old......yet!
Maybe it's me being old fashioned again, but I tend to frequent ma and pa independent truckstops. Travelling I 80 across Pennsylvania there are 3 FJs and I swear I can't tell which one I'm in! Everything down to the parking lot layout is exactly the same! Junk food palaces all of them
Dave, ya big fibber, Shame on you! 🤣 You’re lucky you got away with that one! (I learned to drive in CA, I know it well and the bs that goes with it) Iowa 80 rules, I love that place! Hate to drive by it without stopping, but I have a few times. I run dedicated now so the Petro in Oak Grove is the closest to that I gave regular access to. You’re right about Little America, awesome showers/food. The one in Flagstaff is great too, just the lot is way smaller. R Place in Morris, great food! Love the old style toys they have on display (even right in the tables!) there. Recently visited the Petro in Joplin on a rare trip outside my dedicated lane, it’s still a great place as well. Used to love Bosselman’s in Grand Island, wasn’t aware they sold out to Pilot. Guess it shows how long it’s been since I’ve been there! I personally always liked Jubitz in Portland, OR. Great steaks! Let’s not forget the Triple T in Tucson (White Line Fever!) just to be nostalgic. One of the very last of the independent truck stops from the past!
You just have to experience the Jubitz Truck Stop in Portland, OR. The restaurant has real chefs, not food handlers. Big parking lot and all the amenities.
Food makes all the best truck stops. The loves in Lufkin Tx used to have the best tacos around, but they put some cookie cutter thing in its place now. I think the FJ in Kansas city is the most disappointing truck stop I've ever been to.
I was just at Iowa 80 on the come back 2 days ago. I did not have much time to really take advantage of all that was there but it on my radar. Little America in Wyoming is cool small for us big trucks.
Fernley, NV is great. You can get off the freeway just before Reno and get gas, something to eat and a place to stay. In the morning you can jump back on the freeway in no time. Think the secret is getting out.
I always liked just about all the Petro’s in Pennsylvania or the other one in Knoxville... You could get a good meal and stimulating conversation on the radio... Girard, OH, Laredo, TX. Lost a lot of money in Reno, NV... I never forget the time I went into the omelette shop next to the little pilot in Indianapolis and I saw a guy in his PJ’s with a beard and towel on his head cooking bacon & grits... Never forget it.
id replace bosslemans with the new petro in columbia sc they got a bowling alley and the same kind of restaurant you find in grand island if not much better. id much rather reset over in petro than the pilot which continues to go downhill year after year
I remember when the Clearwater, MN and the Morris, IL truck stops were independents. Great places. Any Bosselman’s was a good stop. Times gone by, though…
A bit of a foodie? LoL Time to haul heavy deck for a while to trim back up! Slinging chains & hauling tarps will do it!!! Food was better before the Wendy's went in at I-80
That's got to be the dumbest scale master ever. If you can't eyeball a 53 vs a 48 and to top it off he bought you story about a "stubby" 97 Pete. You're a lucky man
Been to all your top 5!. But to me I think Iowa 80 for me.
Jubits in Portland Oregon. Also my favourite truck stops are the hole in the walls with diners that have almost been run off by the corporate truck stops. There is always parking at those and good food.
ha ! love the story ... I drove with 53' flatbeds from Ontario to Cali often with a 10'1" spread no sliders ... never got caught either ! LOL my dog loved the Iowa 80 and would go nuts everytime we got close... he loved that Dog-o-mat dog wash !!!
Little America Flagstaff is my favorite. Hell, all of the Little America truck stops are great. I love their $.50 ice cream cones.
There is another one that a lot of people don't know about... it's more a parking lot than an actual truck stop, but it has plenty of amenities. it's next to the pilot in Wendover Nevada. It's huge, all kinds of parking, and the casinos got together to put in a truck driver's lounge. Showers are free, ice is free. But the main thing I go for is the 50% off coupon for any casino buffet or restaurant in the area. plus they have a shuttle that goes to all the casinos in the area that accept the coupons. I usually go right across the street to the Peppermill.
I've ate at the Iowa 80 restaurant, food was amazing.
I like the North 40 truck stop in Tennessee just for the meatloaf sandwiches, banana pudding and chocolate brownies.
Can you do a video on the worst mountans in the usa for drivers today
I70 west of Denver
wolf creek pass
Good one, thanks! Will do!
I live about 40 miles from the Petro 2 in Clearmwater MN and it was WAY WAY WAY better before Petro took it over about 10 years ago.
Making as much money with the least amount of resources...
Iowa 80 always have parking no matter what time of the day/night....their my #1 but i have been to all 5...yes little america showers are the best and parking is great...grand island is great too...i pick up from that tyson plant all the time
I love the “Hat Six” in Casper WY as well, they have actual towels for the showers not just a rag to dry off with. And as an added bonus there was a towel warmer on the wall to hang your towel on lol.
I 20 Truck Stop in Lincoln, AL has a good restaurant if you can stand the cigarette smoke. Smithton Truck Stop on PA has a nice deli and you can buy and drink beer in there. 76th Street Truck Stop in Byron, MI has a great restaurant.
Good to know John! Appreciate the info!
We've heard your top 5 old and new.
How about your top 5 WORST!
Man that would need more than 5 lmao
The TA in Gary Indiana it’s a shit hole.
I can tell you 2 that you should avoid like the plague. I is in Tennessee it's on I 40 it's called the 440 truck stop on exit 440. The restuarant should be closed by the health dept it was really bad. Then there is the worst in romulus mi, it's off of course and sinister rd right off of I 94 exit 20. Man this place is really bad and keep your truck as far away from their garage as possible. I'm ashamed that I live 7 miles from this place. Man what a dump! Freaking Walmart garage could do better than this place. The bathrooms is nightmare fuel. Just a real bad place.
my #1 worst would have to be the pilot in shepherdsville, ky (just south of louisville). Never any parking at any time of day and even if you pay for a spot there's a bunch of idiots parking in the paid spots that didn't pay for them. Not the best part of town either.
I think they're all here in Canada!
Little America is my favorite I go to the on on I-40 in flagstaff
My Top 5 All-Time Favorite TruckStops
1. Iowa 80
2. Kenly 95
3. LEE HI Travel Plaza
4. North Forty Truck Stop

Nice things costs money. Unfortunately most truck drivers are on a Motel 6 budget and live off of spaghetti Os and Bologna.
The best truck stop I've personally been to is Gordy's right by LaPine Oregon. It's a really cool mom and pop type of place, and they've got all sorts of neat old trucking pictures, and model trucks all over the place, and an old 50s style diner counter where truckers can sit and talk as they eat before parting ways.

I've heard about that place but was never lucky enough to get there!

Always good to hear from a veteran driver. Best prep I can think of for preparing for a career on the road.
Little America??? Are you kidding me? That place sucks!!!. Worst hamburger I have ever eaten EVER. Try the Sinclair south of Boise, ID one of my favorites. Great steakhouse and burgers.
I found a really nice Petro in Hillsboro Texas called Carl's Corner. Large parking and the Iron Skillet is pretty good
Ive been to 3 off the moon familys big truckstops. I44 joplin is the one i go to most commonly 500 parking spots good food and slightly smaller chrome shop. Oak grove is small but has alot of parking. I80 in iowa i was busy looking around amazed

busy with work with the family business this time of year, still thinking of trucking part time in the winter, great story at the end, not making the clifford truck show canada day weekend have other plans once again
Easy to lose your truck in the parking lot at Iowa 80 especially after a few beers and a shot of Jack LOL
Little America, exit 198 off I-40 at Flag. Best BLT's in the whole damm Nation.
Little America?! Seriously?! That's a nasty place. I can never find a spot there when I really need it. The second time I was there, I was able to wedge myself into a spot, and then most of the bathrooms and showers were all out of order. I won't stop there at all anymore.
Sorry they're all wrong loves free parking all them suck and have payed parking
I love Clearwater MN. That sandwich shop is awesome!
Dave, your Canadian and you didn't mention Scotty's Truck Stop, Exit 16 I-87 in Wilton, NY? I'm shocked!
Pilot in Carlin NV my favorite.
😎👍💪🔨⬇️
i actually like that place the bar across the street and a decent Chinese restaurant a short walk and a laundromat next to the bar
I haven't been to the Iowa 80 truck stop I love the petro in Joplin Missouri. There are 2 bosslemen pilots in Nebraska. I like some of the Kwik Trips in Minnesota and Wisconsin because they are like grocery stores.
I've been to R place in Morris several times, great food! I think they have a giant burger challenge where it's free if you eat it in an hour. Good baked goods as well, salad bar, everything is good!
Yes it is!

My top 5:
5. TA Morris, IL
4. Petro Rochelle, IL
3. Petro in Joplin, MO
2. Little America
1. Iowa 80
MelsonWithTrucking
DOT weigh station in joplin, mo will ruin someone's year. Horrible! Everyone I've ever asked or know says they have had really bad experiences.
Yes, Rochelle is good! Really good Blue Beacon across the street as well!
For the ones who live in the southeast...
1. Petro, Hanceville Alabama.
2. Queen City, Meridian Mississippi.
3. Creek Travel Plaza, Atmore Alabama.
4. Petro, Hammond Louisiana.
The steakhouse in the Bosselman is great. One of my favorite truck stops too.
Could you do Canada top 5 truck stops
Is there 5 truck stops left in Canada?
Man, I don't think there are 5 good ones here!
Smart Trucking, there was back in those Canyon days. 😊
Was just @ Iowa-80 in Wolcot this week. We have a regular run from Nashvile up to Dubuque and I love it because I know I can run on up without needing to worry with finding a spot.
Johnson's Corner Loveland Colorado for the food
You didn't give any love to the east coast. The old Whites truck stop in Raphine VA is a really nice truck stop as is Kenly 95 in NC.
Yup, been to both of those and they WERE good!
I was in Little America back in the 80s, loved the place, thanks!
One of my favourite truck stops!
My favorite spot in way of food is the Big Chief at Fergus Falls MN. Great Buffalo burgers
wowwww this is so cool of a truck stop.👍Iowa
I will never out my favorite truck stops. I'll find it harder to get parking if I do.
I’ve always liked the Kenly 95. Maybe I’m just partial to lighthouses.
It's good! Been there a few times!
What about Canadian truck stops? Have you ever been to The richer in Richer, MB?
You know, I used to stop years ago at a little truck stop in Richer that had the best perogies I'd ever eaten. I think it's gone now though. Side of the building was done up like the back of a trailer.
That Petro in Clearwater has a chrome shop too. Its not big but they have a decent selection.
Oak Grove, MO, was my first love, it's where I first fueled up when I got dispatched from Olathe KS. One of Johnny Jacobson's boys ...(+_+)
Little America employs half the population of Wyoming 🤣🤣
Out there I'm sure they do!
Flying J in Altoona IA was my go to place
Great video Dave, I've been to all them truck stop as well (you picked some good ones)
Little America is one fine truck stop, absolutely love the home cooked food there, even my wife said, this food is very good!
Giant in Jamestown, NM (Gallup) was the best. But now it’s a fucking Pilot.
Yeah, after Pilot took over there I stopped one day, went in and turned around and went right back out. Same with the Bosselmans in Altoona Ia.
100% agree with little America they have amazing ice cream cones as well for good price.
I'm thinking that 12' spread on the trailer helped save your bacon as well! Giving away the illusion that it was a 48' trailer.
Yes, the spread certainly helped!
yep you better have morris il ta! my favorite!
Agreed! Little America is a very good truckstop.
I've seen all those truckstops except Clearwater, MN, and they're good 👍
The Petro in Salina Kansas. Truck stop clean and modern but the reason it is my favorite is the shower. I've always requested shower #1 so I'm not sure about the rest but #1 has a big bench seat along with a 40" tv behind the mirror. All marble and the shower has nearly 10 shower heads. If you ever stop, request shower #1 you won't be disappointed.
Boise Stage Stop has a great diner. Honorable mention for sure.
Crazy Charlie's. Bill and Effie's boomtown. Woody's. Ttt Tuscon. Mass 10. Pops desert Oasis. Gopher state. Sapp bros. Rays. All gone. Too bad.
Moral of the Story ~ "Don't Oversleep" 😨 ~ It'll Cost Ya, in more ways than one.!!!
Great Video Dave, most interesting ~ thanks for sharing. 👍~😃~👍
Thanks Alistair!
Mine is TA in Las Cruces, NM clean and restful!,
Dave Dispatcher lie!
As a truck driver I have never outright lied. However I have been known to to expound to great extent, especially on single sheet logs!
ELDs - takes a little bit of software on my laptop to be able to expound! However with cameras out there recording every scale point and fuel cards all having time stamped receipts, resteraunts same way, It is not near as easy!
Me? I'm not old......yet!
Stay safe Doctor!
@@SmartTrucking Biggest key to staying safe is a lesson in metric conversation. For every mile of road there is 3.2 kms of ditch!
Maybe it's me being old fashioned again, but I tend to frequent ma and pa independent truckstops. Travelling I 80 across Pennsylvania there are 3 FJs and I swear I can't tell which one I'm in! Everything down to the parking lot layout is exactly the same! Junk food palaces all of them
Thanks Dave good video like the story and good truck stops good music also!!!
Thanks!
I like Iowa 80 good place to buy things, but need to put a stop light or stop signs at east bound exit
I love Little America, Wyoming. Been there before and the locals are wonderful people.
I love Iowa-80!
World largest truck flea market
Dave, ya big fibber, Shame on you! 🤣 You’re lucky you got away with that one! (I learned to drive in CA, I know it well and the bs that goes with it) Iowa 80 rules, I love that place! Hate to drive by it without stopping, but I have a few times. I run dedicated now so the Petro in Oak Grove is the closest to that I gave regular access to.

Let’s not forget the Triple T in Tucson (White Line Fever!) just to be nostalgic. One of the very last of the independent truck stops from the past!
Been to them all. I concur. In no particular order. 👍
Rest in peace my condolences go out to your wife and children
West Coast, Jubitz, T&R, Withams, Dudley&Petty(the best) no need to name towns if you know,you know.
Lil America #1 absolutely
You just have to experience the Jubitz Truck Stop in Portland, OR. The restaurant has real chefs, not food handlers. Big parking lot and all the amenities.
Food makes all the best truck stops. The loves in Lufkin Tx used to have the best tacos around, but they put some cookie cutter thing in its place now. I think the FJ in Kansas city is the most disappointing truck stop I've ever been to.
And here i am mostly doing New-England *Hellzones* and PA runs this year >_
You must be a patient and tolerant fellow.
I love Dysarts in Bangor Maine, old school with an amazing Diner.
I like the Richer Inn in Richer Manitoba. Great great food, smaller lot for parking but all around good stop!
If you had to get your truck serviced by either the TA in London, Ohio vs Loves in Springfield, Ohio which would it be and why?
I was just at Iowa 80 on the come back 2 days ago. I did not have much time to really take advantage of all that was there but it on my radar. Little America in Wyoming is cool small for us big trucks.
Fernley, NV is great. You can get off the freeway just before Reno and get gas, something to eat and a place to stay. In the morning you can jump back on the freeway in no time. Think the secret is getting out.
Honorable mention. Garden of eden in Eden ID
Thought you'd have mentioned Jubitz in Portland.
I recognized the Ontario accent, eh? LGBFJBJT!
Just stay out a West Memphis
Was in Memphis a few days ago at the Kellogs.... what a dystopian rathole. Very sad.
Shout out to Little America in Wyoming. Nothing like sitting in the bath after a long day of driving.
The last time I stopped at Little America they had shut down the restaurant, did they bring it back?
I always liked just about all the Petro’s in Pennsylvania or the other one in Knoxville... You could get a good meal and stimulating conversation on the radio... Girard, OH, Laredo, TX. Lost a lot of money in Reno, NV... I never forget the time I went into the omelette shop next to the little pilot in Indianapolis and I saw a guy in his PJ’s with a beard and towel on his head cooking bacon & grits... Never forget it.
And I'd be out of there!
Texaco in Pollard Flat on I-5 in Northern California near Lakehead.
id replace bosslemans with the new petro in columbia sc they got a bowling alley and the same kind of restaurant you find in grand island if not much better. id much rather reset over in petro than the pilot which continues to go downhill year after year
Good video...muy bueno
Thanks!
There's a little diner called The Kettle right next to the truck stop in Clearwater, the food is outstanding there!
I remember when the Clearwater, MN and the Morris, IL truck stops were independents. Great places. Any Bosselman’s was a good stop. Times gone by, though…
Yup, better days and better food!
A bit of a foodie? LoL Time to haul heavy deck for a while to trim back up! Slinging chains & hauling tarps will do it!!!
Food was better before the Wendy's went in at I-80
Yup! Bit of a foodie!
Joplin 44 Petro is just like Iowa 80
Showin love to the midwest!!!
When I was driving formally Little America was always always always my favorite truck stop I couldn't wait to get there
One of my favourites.
That's got to be the dumbest scale master ever. If you can't eyeball a 53 vs a 48 and to top it off he bought you story about a "stubby" 97 Pete. You're a lucky man
Not often, but that day I was!
Is it impossible to find place at the truck stops after 6:00 pm?
