The World’s Largest Truckstop & Iowa 80 Trucking Museum is AWESOME - Road Trip Interstate Rest Stop

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW The truck museum was much better than I expected it to be . Really impressive and no admission fee which is even more shocking

[@JKillingITinFL]

Toonces The Driving Cat reference? 21:46

[@toddsimpson9164]

Also, I guess you missed the REO Speedwagon (the 1980s group were named after a truck)!

[@benjaminmendenhall4497]

I didn’t even know that they had a museum

[@pappy4075]

You inspired me to spend my 60rh birthday at Buc-ees. Now you inspired me to hop on highway to go to Iowa 80. Thank u🥸

[@thetimewave]

How far west do you plan to drive Adam? Loving the vibe of the road trip.

[@SeaStorm414]

No way. I was in the background in the video, and I knew something was up when I saw your camera and so I decided to look, and there I am with my family.

[@ShelleeGraham]

30:06 Wonderful story about your grandparents and drinking a 🥤 Coca-Cola with them. NICE 👍. Great video Adam.

[@ShelleeGraham]

P.S. I have a vintage (metal) Coca-Cola bottle opener attached to my kitchen wall.

smokey and the bandit is another good truck movie

Truckers keep America moving! Thank you for delivering what we need rain or shine and in the dead of night💯👑☝️🥂

I love how you “take time to smell the roses” in life. Good for you!

[@jimmyb.6272]

Your video reminded me of a time when gas station attendants would pump your gas for you and check your oil, wash the windshield, and air up the tires. Never had to get out of your car. I remember it well.

[@tomday1318]

They did it all.

[@ericagutierrez4997]

This is a cool museum!

[@stephenthomas2293]

At 25:37 I thought Mr. Sandman song would be playing with 4 Texico servicemen running out, ready to work on your car Adam

[@GalaxyFur]

I like the old gravity-feed gas pumps with the sight glass. They didn't have mechanical pumps like modern gas pumps because they used the force of gravity to let the fuel pour out from the sight glass. This is why the pumps are so tall, too. The reason why they had a sight glass on top of the pump was because this was the way the gas attendant could see how much fuel they put into your car. Also, due to the fact that gasoline didn't always have good quality back then. Back in the early 1900s and early twenties it was common to have water contamination in your gasoline. The sight glass would show if there was any water sitting at the bottom of the gasoline inside the sight glass. You could see the water and gas separation inside the sight glass.

[@JohnP-h3j]

Driving across 80 last week in July can’t wait to see that place truck stop

[@davew5383]

I have a fun fact for you, I had a ghostly experience at the Iowa 80 truck stop. As a truck driver back in the mid 90's, I took a shower in a shower room there. After I was done taking my shower, I was at the sink brushing my teeth and then putting things away into my shower bag, when I suddenly felt the glass shower door firmly hit me in my back, I was quite surprised as I turned around to push the shower door away from me. I then looked into the shower seeing on the floor that I had almost forgot my shampoo bottle that was on the floor with my razor sitting on top of it, where I had left it. I went into the shower and picked up my razor and my shampoo bottle and put them into my shower bag. I then looked around to see if there was a vent or something that could have blown the door into me, there wasn't a vent there and this was a heavy glass shower door. I picked up my shower bag from the sink and headed for the door saying "Thanks Rick" to my best friend who had passed away a couple years earlier, while I was trying not to freak out, as I opened the door and walked out. I have never taken a shower there since then and unfortunately I don't remember the room number. I didn't hear anything or see anything, so I never fully knew what happened, all that I do know is if that shower door hadn't hit me, I would have left my razor and shampoo bottle there.

[@sandranynj7118]

Lots of Truckers in my family from now going well back. This was the way to support their family independently and they did! 🚚

[@bendavis6722]

my father was drove trucks in the state of Colorado bolder Colorado he worked in the the Moffet tunnel before moving to San Francisco California way back when my father was raised during the great depression my drove bottom dumps trucks doubles between Santa Cruz California to San Francisco California autocar trucks sorry for getting off topic.

[@bendavis6722]

I'm into trucks as well been playing American truck simulator plus euro truck simulator.

[@bendavis6722]

now I have that song stuck in my head convoy song even made a 1970s truck movies called convoy.

[@lostonwallace1396]

I've been an artist all my life, so I notice a lot of odd things. Composition is one such thing, and I have to say, Adam, that your photography has gotten to be quite good over the years. The way you frame your camera shots, etc has improved dramatically since I first found your channel years ago. It's amazing how you seem to have developed a natural sense of cinematography and composition. I salute you, amigo!

[@mustangcindy1303]

I could spend hours in that museum. I love looking at old vehicles. Very impressive place with no admissions charge which is very shocking. 😳

[@NerdEpix]

Something about the Iowa vibe that is just peaceful and relaxing. Love these back road adventures!

[@davewinter2688]

Old truckers never die. They just get a new Peterbilt.

[@mikearnold4026]

I live a few miles away from that truck stop and never been in the truck muesem so glad you showed it. Ive been following you for about 7 years now ever since i had a several stroke that caused me not to walk anymore and i used to take my kids to disney so your channel would have me reminnaisse of going to the orlando area and as a kid my dad would take us to clemont, florida and stay in an a A frame cabin on a lake that was in the 60s. Welcome to our area, side note i was a truck driver for awhile

[@Used2flyn]

I loved every minute of this visit to Iowa. That truck museum was amazing. Thanks for taking me along! 👍🏼

[@johnwoodley-kb8yp]

thank you Adam for another great video. you inspire many of us to get off the couch and see America. ATW rocks!

[@donnytucker]

Wow, that museum is amazing. I love the old gas pumps, vehicles, and signs!!

[@michaelfinley8540]

My wife was the directer of the museum for about 6 months. They have a full restoration facility on location. When she was there that coca-cola truck was in the process of restoration.

[@maryannrenzulli2426]

My late Brother drove Semi's ..for some of the Best Companies; .I took some trips with him...and the Truck Stop Food, was the Best!! He knew all the Good Ones..We stopped at a very big one in Tn. Such Good Memories!!! Nice Road Trip!! Iowa a Nice Peaceful State....🚛🚛 So Nice to see the States....

[@jamesacklin7261]

Good morning Adam, its amazing what you find on your travels.That truck stop museum is mind blowing.Iam glad you have better weather today.Safe travels, from Universal Jamie.

[@johndreker1613]

Thank you for featuring the trucking museum for so long in this video. It's an amazing place and I can't believe that they don't charge an admission. I'd love to go to the Field of Dreams at some point, so this place is a little extra motivation to make that trip.

[@artkincell]

Thank you for visiting the museum. I was a truck driver for 30 years in the northeast US, and I remember seeing that Henry Good truck around A LOT in the 80s and mid-90s. My most recent job before retiring was working for Hood/Crowley in Massachusetts, so I saw the Crowley model tractor trailer in the display case and I hauled trailers with that series of logo. I also worked for Dominos Pizza, and I would wonder if the truck stop had a scale model of a Dominos truck... my boss had one on his desk and a lot of us drivers had the tiny Matchbox scale trucks given to us for safe driving, customer service, etc. Thanks again Adam, for being who you are and shedding joy on the world.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a nice comment . Have a good day

[@LancesLens]

I love that Adamn has random surprise train catches in many of his travel vlogs! He's a rail fan!

[@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN]

Free AWESOME museum full of trucks & signage galore, it looks amazing. Plus a unique huge truck stop. Dang! & sweet t-shirt....if you know you know. 👍

[@TheDailyWoo]

So glad I picked up the Rods shirt when I was there

[@SamEarleyFL]

That museum is quite impressive!

[@TheDailyWoo]

[@toddsimpson9164]

They don't have admission, just donation. That's how they can afford to renovate the trucks.

Love when you go through Iowa! My family all lives in Des Moines. And I have a thing for cool gas stations and truck stops. So as you can guess, I’m thrilled!! Awesome video as always!! Thanks, Woo! ❤

[@toddventure]

Great Museum. I think of the movie 'Convoy' with Kristoffer Kristofferson. 😊❤ 10-4 Rubber Duck.

I am always happy to see my beloved Iowa popping up in travel videos. (seriously head to Ida Grove if you can. )

[@BrancyCDA]

I go to every car show in the North Idaho area and the old trucks are my favorite! There are so many classic cars out there, but few commercial trucks were restored, so that museum is a real treat! Will definitely see it if I ever get on that cross country road trip I have been planning for more years than I remember now!

[@johndreker1613]

For those of you whose day is incomplete without it: That's going to do it for today. Thanks for watching! I'll see you in the next video, the vlog is...that truck museum was amazing. I highly recommend stopping in...over.

[@chrisjmiller6]

Great video! I live 40 minutes west of the truck stop and always enjoy stopping by to see "new" trucks that have been added to the museum. It is definitely worth checking out!

[@lorihessler2977]

In the gift shop, there's a machine that does 3 different pressed pennies. The museum doesn't have an admission, but does accept donations. There's also a dog wash. And the buffet restaurant is pretty decent. Thanks for showing one of my favorite places

[@garethrees9856]

Iowa 80 is awesome. Good food and the museum is great

[@Living_EDventures]

I been to that place multiple times in the early mid 90's when I'd drive out to Iowa and work 10 days then get 4 days off and come home for it. Bought gallons of piping hot coffee from there, lol.

[@Living_EDventures]

One thing I noticed when I worked in quite a few different cities, towns and blink and you miss them towns out there, is they almost always had community swimming pools. Never see that here in Michigan.

[@scotabot7826]

Congrats on your weight loss Adam. Makes you look completely different. Really amazing!!

Thank you so much Adam. That trucking museum was indeed awesome and a place I would otherwise never got to see if not for you, so thank you again for bringing us along. I really enjoy these road trips.

[@GitnGo]

The truck stop and museum are both awesome! If I ever go to Iowa that will be one of the places I will go visit.

[@XanBos]

I had stopped at the I 80 truck stop years ago. It was massive to be sure! Nice place to stretch your legs when on a long journey!

[@terrywirth5869]

Excellent video. If I ever find myself driving on I80, I will be stopping at "The world's Largest Truck Stop." That museum looks like it's a must see.

[@chadaustin8343]

I was a Coke driver in Meridian, MS and Fort Worth, TX. Hard work.

[@davidwatts4517]

I had no idea that museum was there. Thanks, Adam, for touring through that building of magnificent history and vehicles. I am determined to not miss that the next time I pass through the area. Heck, I've been to Iowa 80 a half dozen times and missed the museum.

What a beautiful historical video, thank you Adam. I just loved it. 😎🚛⛽️👍

[@CindyClark-p1f]

Thank u for letting us see the museum. I've been to the truck stop many times.i never had the time for the museum. The small Ryder truck is for yard jockeys. They dock the trailers where the big trucks can't. Those cab overs have the most uncomfortable rides. Yes the motor is under the seat. You can't keep anything in the cab that could go through the windshield, when it's being repaired. Cab will be tipped.

[@gmoneyonenine]

Cool video, love the small towns and vintage vehicles. Keep on keeping on.

[@gerireischl1959]

I love this video of yours! Wow! The Worlds Largest Truck Stop and Trucking Museum. You showcased so many of the of the really cool things there like “Hank.” I definitely need to visit this place one day. I know I’ll be watching this one again. Thanks for going here!! 😊 Safe travels …..

[@RagingRay973]

Love trains! Each time I see a freight train now I think about HoBo Shoestring! He had a great KZbin channel. Sucks he passed away recently. Lived a free and full life traveling the rails. Love these videos Adam. Real America!

[@shannon3n8]

26:40 'Narrow' blue truck is called a Day Cab because it is the cab-in only body. Used for trailer shuffling on a factory lot, or 'out and back' loads where the driver starts and finishes the driving hours at the same location, or Day (Night) Drivers who handle many short distance deliveries and don't sleep out on the road. The next truck with the long hood is called a Conventional. The style of Day Cab with the sleeper (like Hank's Highway Hilton) is called a Cab Over. And yes, they do make such things as Day Cab Conventionals. If you've never heard of it, or just forgot about it, the movie "CONVOY" with super hunky Kris Kristofferson and what'sherface Ali MacGraw, is a great trucking flick. Kristofferson played 'Rubber Duck'. And one really obscure deep dive in truck movies is "White Line Fever". Been around trucks since I was 8 - almost 50 years! ❤✌🌮
