[@Mach_Style]

as a trucker, Ive stayed many nights there. I find it funny when you said you were feeling anti social at the restaurant. Just about everyone eating there is eating as one person so youd fit right in being by yourself at the table haha. If you ever go back, the beef stroganoff is the bomb.

[@kurtman8954]

Would you recommend trucking to a younger guy thinking about getting into it? My grandfather used to back in the day and have always wondered if I should take it up

[@Mach_Style]

@@kurtman8954 well I started trucking in dump trucks when I was 23 and eventually moved into semis. I'm now 30 and have my own truck working for my self. I think if you enjoy being out on the road, have a lot of patience and common sense, then you'd probably enjoy it. Having a CDL means you will always have job opportunities no matter where you go in life. And then longer you hold it, the better the jobs can get. So yeah I'd recommend it. Just note its a life style and it isn't for everyone. Once your in, you kinda never leave it.

[@stephenk6668]

Did you see fishing with Becca there she did a similar video like yours

[@mattlittleton9032]

LOL beef stroganoff sounds really good right about now 😂

​@@Fobiarmy1987 well, it makes sense.if you're doing any sort of serious dental work, you're not driving away anytime soon. But for a pinch, it's good to have.

[@treveranderson2349]

Saw this place back when Crazy Quady did the same episode. Quiet the truck stop.

[@3lijahv]

For anyone curious about dirt cups, it’s chocolate pudding, crumbled Oreos, and gummy worms. (It’s mostly a dessert for kids) I know Mav’s audience is increasingly international and that seemed really niche. Iowans aren’t eating actual dirt 😂

[@dpeagles]

Good that you explained. Those Europeans probably thought we ate dirt. They love looking down at Americans.

[@garybrown4671]

Truck stops are so awesome! Traveling by bus with my Mom as a kid, we stopped at a number of them. We were always broke, but there is so much to see. When we take road trips, it's kind of a family tradition to dilly dally way too long at truck stops ❤ Btw, that pork cutlet sandwich sounds like something I would take a detour for... Thanks for the video, Mav. Be safe bro

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Husband and I took a 45 day roadtrip several years back with our 19ft Airstream pulled by our Conversion Van. Truck Stop hopping almost every single night. I LOVED IT. Listening to the "Big Rigs" bubbling was a Bedtime Lullaby and I looked forward to hearing the sweet sounds of other travelers in motion. Glad you enjoyed your visit there.

[@KatyInNH]

How did you like pulling the Airstream with the van? We are thinking of doing the same. We currently have a sprinter Motorhome

[@13699111]

I feel the same way about wildnight_s road trips.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

@@KatyInNH Our Van is a Chevrolet Classic 1500 Conversion Van by the EXPLOYER Co. The Airstream follows it flawlessly and the Van doesn't even know it's there! We've been in the Blue Ridge Mountains and in a good many different weather conditions so I'm good saying this. We live in North Georgia on a mountain and also in Florida so we did add a power Trailer Brake on the Van for extra stopping power (A MUST HAVE ITEM). We also own a large Dutch Star Class A Motorcoach but for Camping, Weekenders, The Beach, Fishing Trips, and NASCAR the Van and Airstream set-up is pure PLATINUM! In fact we actually have used that set-up for a 45 day roadtripping adventure several years back to just go sightseeing different places. Stayed at Truck Stops, Cabela's, Walmarts, Cracker Barrel, etc., for free or almost free the whole time. However, like your Motorcoach and ours, many style of Vans are not great for off-road. A Truck and Airstream combo is best for that use. Hope this helps your decision making. Happy Travels to You and Yours. SHALOM (PEACE AND FREEDOM) always.

[@KatyInNH]

@@pamelaklemp5615 Thank you so much!!!!! We have an 2007 Interstate (10 years and before that a classic 345). We find that it is difficult to go exploring from the campground even with the camper van since so many of the campgrounds are crowded. We are going to replace one of our vehicles in the next year so thinking of making the change up and doing something similar with a comfy conversion van and airstream together. We think it would give us much more room for extra clothes, etc as we make big trips like your 45 day trip Thank you again so much!!! Wally 5939. Katy

[@pamelaklemp5615]

@@KatyInNH About using your Van... we put a custom made dresser/credenza on one side of the cargo area for clothes and can use the top for a portable sink and for cooking etc as it is low enough to safely use for that. Doing this provides a 2nd kitchen if you will. Great if added guests are invited or if you're meeting up at some places since the Van has its own queen bed in the rear. We also added a Porta Potty so it's like a mini hotel room in addition to the full-on Airstream trailer. I've gone camping and fishing using only the Van many times too.

[@FPSMurdock]

[@ajd7772]

Loved this one! Always thought truck stops were super cool and this one seems like a relic out of the past almost. I feel like with how quick the world is changing these days truck stops feel at home sometimes. Lots of old school truckers. This place reminds me of the 80's and 90's, just simple stuff, nothing fancy.

[@Lonesome__Dove]

So my dad is a truck driver (retired now) and his Trip was always from Michigan to Oxnard California then back but on the way there we went on the north side (i often went with him during breaks and summer) ive stopped at this Truck stop many times. It was the highlight of the trip...my dad would give me 20 dollars in quarters for the game room and id race other Truckers on the race car game (i became undefeated) this place is literally ridiculously huge and has so much to offer. Get the sausage and biscuits in the restaurant buffet breakfast.

[@JosephKirbyCarr]

The sausage biscuits is also bomb I grew up going there literally like a second home for me and a great thing That it's only 15 minutes away from davenport right off not right off Brady Street but I totally wouldn't mind going back since I have a trip in a year I'll probably be visiting

this is so fun watching someone else’s perspective looking at this truck stop. my dad’s family lives in iowa i wanna say only a couple of minutes away from this stop. so it’s just so normal for me to go into it for just a candy bar or a bottle of water.
