Bailey really pays attention when you talk. I think she understands what you are saying! Sorry Dan, Bailey is the star of your videos.
A true best friend.
@@ericrohani199 Yup, every dog has to have one.
Damn, that’s awesome. Supporting local businesses that are struggling to stay alive. I wish more people thought like you did.
You always feel more welcome at truck stops like that, they appreciate the business.
Bailey has to be the sweetest trucker dog ever. I think she likes the Ma & Pa places too.
Dorsey trailers for all your trailer needs Dorsey trailers
Would love to see more mom and pop truckstops😎
I really like the safety bucket hat.
Thanks Dan. Always grateful for you taking us along for the ride. Safe travels.
Support the Little Guy Truck Stop----You gain in Well-Maintained Equipment and Cleanliness ---Compared to your dollar or so more in fuel 👍
Great vlog...Great to help the little companies out!
👍 We should all support the small businesses like mom and pops truck stops, because all O/O are part of that small business and the community. Good video 👍
Nice video Dan! Your a professional. I think there is big percentage of truckers that turn these truck stops to crap. Eventually ownership can't keep up with wear and tear + the damages.
Yes, support the truck stops you like before they can't make it and are gone.
I saw you going east on 40 Tuesday morning around Morrilton Ark
Thanks for replyig to my previous comment Dan.!!

Smooth Operator.
Thank you all!
I used to enjoy the Mom & Pop businesses, now there is so much disconnect with folks, it is like we are all strangers.
17:35 They have a grill inside. Was broke down there last year. You walk in to the Baskins Robbins and they have a menu on the counter that you order off of. Lady hooked me up with a darn good burger and onion rings!
Dan I remember the old truck stops where they had real restaurants and service departments. Most were of the ones I used running Midwest to California and the Northwest were small independently own.
You are so right about the chain truck stops, they need some maintenance. Just the smell in the parking areas is horrendous! Some drivers need to get some manners about themselves.
I absolutely refuse to shop at Walmart,sheets and other big stores. I'm very very loyal to my small mom and pops stores. They deserve to be remembered... after all they are what built America.
I like your idea of supporting the smaller truck stops.
Haha, 2 log books back in the day. 1 for my dispatch and 1 for the cops.
Arkansas does as alot of dry County I was born and raised in Arkansas and live in Arkansas for 21 years
I couldn't agree with you more Dan regarding truck stops. I was running a flat bed about a year ago, did it for a few months, trying to find a clean servicable truck stop to refresh yourself anymore is becoming a job in itself. People just have no appreciation or pride in their work, If an employer would praise their employees with a pat on the back, a hand shake and a big thank you daily, thinkgs would be alot different, I chock it up to Corporations and bean counters are only concerned with their own gain, just my two cents, what do I know?!?...lol😏👍
The small truck stops has the best food compared to the regular smegular food you get at the Chain truck stops . And people always friendly.
The name of the town is Muldrow Ok. My mother lives there and my trucking business is registered there. That truck stop is brand new ... only been open about a year. That was a big deal around town when that opened!!
Living on the east coast we had a small chain of trucks tops called WilcoHess. They were small truck stops with souniver shops called Stuckey's. Stuckey's sold candy, salt water taffey, pecan log rolls, etc. Each WilcoHess had a small parking lot which was never full and a fast food restaurant located on site. I could always find parking late at night. When Pilot Flying J bought WilcoHess the truck stops immediately began filling up early every night. Too bad.
The comments on here about two log books reminds me of the MASH episode where Frank Burns is dictating his will to Father Mulcahy. Frank is suffering from a fever and talks about his financial ledger books. The Red one, and the Blue one he says he shows the government. Lol.
Love Mom and Pop truck stops. You will find some good food at many of them in the right area. Yea, many truck stop maintenance programs are not doing their job. Everything is busted or don't work right. Kiosk, DEF handles will not work right, no squeegee or broke, no window cleaner in buckets. Pitiful.
Just so you know there’s a lot of the small truck stops if you buy 50 gallons or more sometimes they’ll give you free food you’ll just have to ask if they do anything for a certain fuel amount.
Thanks Dan for what you guys do. Without you guys , this country would come to a halt. Always follow your program 😊
Thanks for sharing, stay safe out there!
Never been to Joplin, MO, or the Mafia Chrome Shop, but have been to many parts of the Show-Me State. You travel in the STL / Metro East Area in Granite City.
I agree.,....I couldn't do paper now if I tried. Pretty sad cause I use to always have 2 books. Times sure have changed. Safe travels.
Love ❤Miss Bailey. Give her a hug, smooches, & scratches behind both ears. Sabbear recognizes the word ‘Treat’ &’Lets Eat’ pretty good.
Welcome back my friend and you guys have a wonderful week
Dan I would say that is finesse at its finest. You and Bailey be safe out there on the road keeps the big girl between the dishes.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Another good one Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘 👌
Talking about dry counties, I find it interesting that Jack Daniels is produced in a dry county in Tennessee
Oak Grove is no longer with I80 truckstop chain.
A dry county is wetter than most wet counties
Hello from Brisbane, Australia. Another quality video. Take care. You and Bailey stay safe.
Hi, you should come drive a truck here in Australia 🇦🇺 and compare the roads to America. There rough here.
I moved to the country years ago and they built a loves of the expressway. Soon after it opened I moved back to the suburbs couldn’t take country living and when I left the loves had pretty much put the two locally owned stations out of business. Last week I drove through that town for work and one of the local stations is closed and the other looks like it isn’t far behind. But be Ouse it was lunch time I had to stop at the loves and get some McDonald’s and I was shocked to see what a 8 years old loves looks like. The place was so dirty and run down I decided Chips and a coke was a safer bet than anything prepared anywhere near there
Back in the bad old days we used to call our paper logs
Swindle Sheets.
!
That was a really stylish hat you were wearing unloading that steel.
I pay extra at the smaller places just to avoid the chains. As long as they take comdata I'm good. And often they aren't biodiesel. So you kinda get your extra money back with a better quality of life, time, fuel economy, and fewer filter changes.
First time I watched your videos but gotta say any trucker with a dog gets my thumbs up👍.
I love stopping at that fuel station there in Oklahoma. I seen you and Bailey sitting there today as I was heading to OKC. You are the first driver RUclipsr that I follow out on the road. Safe travels to you and your little girl!
i use to keep a log of every place i stopped, shipper, receiver, fuel stops, rest areas, and left little comments for each, good, bad, whatever. think i had like 5 or 6 of them. wish id kept them, wanted to put up a map of the US and put pins for every stop. something to do in my retirement, lol
Limestone county here in Alabama is dry. When I first moved here you couldn't even buy alcohol on Sundays.
Love your video's oh ya when u unloaded there was a man on a fork lift that got some beside your truck off the ground on driver side it was big a square an put in his back pocket did you miss anything funny how he came up an got it have a great safe day
I was wondering the same thing
Like the book too.
To confirm for you Dan, Arkansas still has a ton of dry counties! So you were right in the money about the liquor stores!
Be safe out there!
If you get a minute check us out in here!
Great video, thanks Mr dan
I saw your truck at the Petro in Joplin, MO. I took some pics of your truck, I was hoping to meet you, but I saw soapy water coming out from under your truck, I assumed you were taking a shower. Hopefully, we'll meet one day, and thanks for being an inspiration for me and other drivers. God bless you.
Teresa must be tracking your phone. Knows you puled into a truck stop, eh? lol
I remember how we filled them out, because I kept two logbooks going at all times. One of them of course was a special one to show the DOT guy when I got stopped LOL. Couldn’t get away with that now I suppose.
BTW I love your outside cameras, because I can hear that CAT purring. Sounds beautiful.
My father always said the old 76 trucks stops used to be the. 💩
Yes they were nice.
Yes Pope County Ark. is a dry county, you were just across the line in Conway County at the small truck stop.
Good video dan. The truck stop guide is a great tool. Always has been. But....I used to be able to read it easier. Is the print smaller or are my eyes getting worse? Nah, can't be that. I think the elog regs helped kill the small truck stops. If every little stop didn't eat up my time, I'd definitely stop for a real sit down meal at cafes, restaurants instead of the chains more often. It's a big reason there isn't the camaraderie anymore. No time to sit, chat and make a friend. Go go go
I used to love stopping at mom and pop truck stops. I always had paper back up for maps and finding truck stops.
It always cracked me up how New Hampshire does it. I guess in NH only the state sells liquor, and at the border crossing theres this big rest area and NH State liquor store. I'd see people in there with shopping carts full of liquor
New Hampshire is one of seven states without a state income tax so they make up for revenue somehow by selling alcohol and fireworks
Last time I drove NH I was surprised about the direct exits to liquor stores off the tollway .
I agree Dan, the Blackwell TS was nice when it opened...and yes you are near a dry county. I live in Conway, and its dry, no stores but they do allow alcohol at some restaurants if you jump the hoops. Stay safe!!
Gr8 Vid Mr DAN!!!!!!!!
Travel safe, Dan!!!
I'm a new driver doing OTR in the eastern 37 and a lot of the Pilots are in just as bad a shape as a lot of the little gas 'n' sips out there. Really goes to show how difficult it is to maintain these facilities. What's even more sad is the prevailing feeling among the staff at a lot of these mom-and-pop shops that their days are numbered. I try to stop at them often and I always spend money when I do. They're invaluable.
the two guys standing in the load dock were both wondering if super Dan could back up😮
Appreciate the video! Have you ever thought about taking the pass seat out and making Bailey a more comfortable seating arrangement? As good as you are with that kind of stuff she’d be sitting like a Princess. And yes I live in a “dry county”. Lol.
Bailey is the Boss...Great companion... I had a corgi mix... smartest dog I have ever had
Nice video!
Thanks Dan
i wonder if the little truck stops are not biodiesel, sure like bailey.
Build Bailey a little plywood platform that goes over the front seat and has legs that reach to the floor up to the dashboard. Cover it and and put a cushion up there!
Yes, that's a county line between a dry and a wet county.
Stay safe out there Super Trucker Dan
That Love’s has always been a pain even back in the 90’s and then in the early 2000’s when the barge knocked the 40 bridge out
The town next to mine is dry , there are liquor stores right over the line on all sides.
his dog watches him keep talking to somebody? But there is no one there?
Dislike getting gravel all over the tarps while folding up & back in storage .
Ten there were state run 'Package stores' for the hard stuff (Grocery sold Beer & Wine) when I was Stationed in Norfolk VA. A place I went into had this gorgeous bar with no one at it. When I asked, 'You can only have/sit a bar, if you sold just beer or wine. Also you can't carry your own drink if you join another table, the staff has to carry it.
Yep, Arkansas does indeed have wet/dry counties. Just as you said, there are typically many liquor stores at the county line.
South in general is still riddled with dry counties, even blue laws. Oh well all the counties around them thank them for the extra tax revenue. I remember working in a grocery store in the 90's, we had a younger couple trying to buy beer on Sunday. They were shocked to find out we couldn't sell it to them.
A mono rail Crane.Those are always fun to unload heavy oiled up stuff
HELLO DAN GREAT VIDEO ! BEAUTIFUL RIDE TO DAY ! BAILEY IS SO CUTE ! BE BLESSED STAY SAFE ! ✊👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My truck was darker blue and I didn’t like anyplace with all that dust, also didn’t like the huge truck stops. Sometimes it got difficult to land at a decent place. It caused a problem from time to time because I found myself really tired and no place to park. As you remember, we were kinda “Loose” with our logbook entries. I don’t think I could conform to the rigid rules today, or maybe I should say “Rules enforcement “ today. Enjoy riding with you!
Thanks Dan stay safe 🌵🇬🇧👍
Dan is a super honest guy and Bailey is so cute 🥰 You want to try the truck stops in the uk as they’re the pits 😮Stay safe buddy and God bless you 🏴
👍
Ha I just loaded out of Tulsa!
Enjoyed this video Dan. I used to run 40 a lot and funny Blackwell was one of quiet spots I'd park at.
Running Midwest Regional now from home in Wisconsin last couple of years so was nice to see some places on 40 I used to travel
That Loves at Webbers Falls is always a mess. I'm a lot like you I try and avoid big chain truck stops
Never park in them, in and out for fuel and a shower and gone
Safe travels
So what did the guy on the forklift grab that was sitting next to your truck and put in his pocket?
I seen that too
Thanks Dan. Always enjoy your videos. Need more of the camera and mic outside the back of the sleeper. The Cat sounds great. Blessings
Hi Dan you have awesome video footage one of the best footage why because of the footage driving down the interstates and in though the woods have a great day and a great week ahead 👍👍👍
I heard on Kevin Rutherford's podcast that some of those mom and pop stops do have a fuel discount. Maybe on one of these episodes you can get hold of someone in the know and ask em if that's true. I agree they are way better than the chains but the discounts are hard to pass up.
Don’t believe anything that Kevin Rutherford has to say he is a complete sellout.
Those chain truck stops are" Profit Squeezers". They care not about truckers. National recognition gets you there, so it's easier to put up there crappy service and facilities than to leave and find another chain with similar operations.
I always did like independently owned truck stops, when I drove some had good restaurants, also I no longer drive trucks anymore am retired but even on family’s vacations etc I always had one and still do, best five bucks you can spend. Stay safe out there.
Arkansas has 31 dry counties.
UK roads are suffering the same as yours. Our diesel is around $6.0 a US.gallon. All the M&P stops wer taken by big business who charge you to park (If they allow trucks in at all).
Hi Dan, I live in Pottsville, which is about 13 miles west of Blackwell. Pottsville is in Pope County, which is dry. There are some ways around that though. Several of the restaurants in Russellville serve alcohol by the drink. I first thought you were talking about stopping at the stop in Ozark. I don't drive a truck, but stop there frequently. I hope it doesn't go down hill like the one in Blackwell has.
great idea support the mom and pop that is where I like to park Pot Holes and all
