    To answer your question, the truck stop typically franchises the restaurant or fast food location as their own franchise deal so that truck stop location 9 times out of 10 actually owns that restarting location as well so all the money from both sides is theirs

    Nice road trip..glad you made it clear across Minnesota to Iowa safely. Welcome to the pros & cons of the trucking world...hurry up and then wait to load / unload....and the many grief of dispatch. But ya know as a W-4 company driver with any one you get forced dispatch vs Owner / operator leased on or using broker boards..pick and choose your dispatch...no forced dispatch. So my Dave...have fun learning everything and maybe you will want to be an owner operator and work as hard as you want, or not. Keep on trucking...,:))

  • @ask21900
    @ask21900 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    In most cases the truck stop owns/operates the restaurant. Loves is a franchisee of Wendy's usually but can sign franchisee agreements with other companies as well. I'm short, Loves owns it so they get all the revenue from the food, but then pays the restaurant chain a percentage (usually around 5-10%)

      I use to work the warehouse at window world western mass, truck drivers and I spoke every week. One week dude got out of his truck it was single digits if not lower… he got out in shorts a tank top and flip flops. I told him “hey bud ya may wanna put some more clothes on and there’s some ice on the ramp.. “he didn’t think it was gonna be this cold, nor did he have clothes for it. I said hey you can hang out in the shop I’ll throw ya my carhartt or you can just stay warm in the rig. He stayed in the shop as I unloaded the trailer. He was freezing but happy because I got there early and unlike other employees I didn’t make him wait 2 hours to unload. I usually got there early the day truck got there to make room and to see what was coming so I was prepared. He got out early got a nice head start maybe get home to the family quicker, I had all the stuff organized and was also able to get a head start on the service schedule, and getting the installers’ order ready for the day. Everyone was happy
