I have passed this truckstop many times but having no real interest in shiny bits for trucks I have never bothered stopping at the place.
On Sunday I had a little time to spare so thought I would make the effort and go and have a look as I was passing.
I have to admit that I was impressed with the place, it can be found at Walcott, Iowa exit 284 I80.
There is parking for 800 trucks and boasts a 300 seat restaurant, 24 private showers, dolby surround sound truckers theatre, game room, barber, dentist, embroidery centre, Wendy's and a Dairy Queen.
The shop is incredible, carrying every accessory you could wish for a truck.
Me!! I left without buying anything from the superstore, shiny bits still don't appeal to me, they are for drivers and owner operators with too much time and money on their hands, still nice to look at though.
