    I've been off the road for 12 years, now! Watching videos like this, made me realize how much I miss the open road! I remember going there back in the winter of 1997. Thanks for taking the time out of your day, to film this!

    The Iowa 80 is the heart of America! A place that helps cater to the everyday pioneers, delivering all kinds of goods to us, and the basic things we need to have, in order to survive! Without truckdrivers, we couldin't pick up grocery's at the supermarket and wal-mart would be empty!

    ya know watching these truck videos is just fueling my desire to return to driving. Its a hard life being a trucker. I know ive been doing this for 3 years. Now im college studying business and I want to persue being my own authority: owner Operator. Ill stick to company driver for now. Being a an otr driver is tought, but u can make the best of it. I still want to make some new memories on the road: Iowa 80 is one of them. great video

    I visited the Iowa 80 a couple years ago during the Trucker's Jamboree event they hold. That was one of the most incredible places I've been to. Also, I sat inside that yellow Peterbilt. Nice video!

    the best truck stop in the USA! I want to see anybody build a truck stop just as good as Iowa 80.

    Great video. I saw a old picture of Iowa 80 and it was small compared to what it is today. Another good truck stop would be the pilot in Grand Island,Ne With accesories and plenty of parking. I would love to see other truck stops follow Iowa 80's example. some truck stops I will not go to because they are @@@@holes. I would not mind spending my home time or vacation time there. Again, good work on your video. I pray I will be back driving again so that I can go to Iowa 80.

    Bosselman Grand Island, Little America in Little America & Iowa 80...absolute must stops. Don't forget that special list of those mom & pops that keep a fresh warm pot of coffee & clean shower & towel just for drivers!

    Wow, this truck stop has EVERYTHING! What would make this place better would be a revolving door and maybe escalators. I suppose some of the facilities are closed or have limited capacity

    Walcott, Iowa, Thehotel that is way in the back of the truckstop where all the semi's fuel up, I think we own that but I am not for sure. I would have to talk to the owner or one of the headquaters people about that. I work out there and been out there for a few years now.
