I didn't have a lot of choice of where to stay last year when I was having car trouble, but I pulled into a Love's and honestly, I was safe. Everything was clean, people were polite and helpful-and actually, surprisingly quiet! Love them~!
You don’t support a place because they don’t allow you to loiter on their property and be a disgusting eye sore??? Their business model is not at all catered to truckers and overnight camping. Keep going to loves for that, you can enjoy both places lol

They LOVE your money just hate the vehicle you drive. You're more than welcome to shop there, just don't park on their property. In my case that means my money isn't welcome either.

You are much more forgiving than me. I used to stop at Bucees all the time, but one night (North of Atlanta on I75) I was dead tired and had to stop. About 15 min in I got the dreaded knock and asked to leave. The guy was courteous and suggested Loves. I haven't been to a Bucees since.

For my job I’ve travelled in an RV for many years, often pulling into and getting a few hours of shuteye at many truck stops such as Loves, Pilot and many other places around our nation! But the first time I tried this at a Bucee-s, management (very rudely I might add) chased me out of there pretty quick. They must have to do this like 1000 times each night. Oh well, It was no big deal I guess, I just went across the street to a Loves, but what a feeling of betrayal. They made me totally feel like a second class citizen. I thought we (professional drivers) were their bread and butter, the soul of travel stops. So I will never even enter a Bucee-s parking lot again, let alone the front door!

You should’ve given Loves the business in the morning. Buc-cees is great but their business model is to not be a truckstop or transient quarters. All of their locations post “no overnight parking”. Their choice. But the least you can do is purchase something at the retailer that took care of your overnight. Oh, get some blackout curtains. Weather tech makes the best.
Bucees policy is extremely unfair. I never have and never will give them one penny of my money, and if they ever try too build one near me, I'll attend every planning committee meeting speaking out against them and their discriminatory polices

Miss thang reminds me a lot of my baby girl. She was 2 when I rescued her and was still producing milk (she had been abused and over bred by her previous owners), I remember having to wipe up milk droplets on my floor. She was just as shy and timid but warmed up to me decently fast. She’s a German shepherd , border collie, Aussie shepherd mix. She was and is so smart and well tempered that I trained her to be my service dog. She’s now almost 9 and still going strong🥰
Watching you live out of your vehicle reminds me of why I was soooo glad to walk away from living out of my truck while travel nursing for 7 years. The beauty of living out of my truck was that I was able to retire at 59 years of age from the money I saved on motel fees. Best to you ❤
Poe is definitely unmistakable. Saw it on the interstate north of Denver and immediately knew it. It was like finding an Easter egg in the middle of rush hour traffic.
This is why I don't do Buck-s. I drive a 700K 45 foot coach flat towing a wrangler. Sometimes you just want a place to pull over, have dinner and sleep. Cracker Barrel works well. Loves, Pilot Fly J also.
I love you and Blue so much! But I have to tell you… I’m quite literally obsessed with your new baby girl!!! I can feel her sweetness through the tv!!! What a precious gift you got with her, and Blue seems to be just perfect with her!! Love love love!!! 🐾❤️ 🐾
I did a van camping trip from Maryland to Florida recently. Noticed that several of the big 24 hr. stores along the way have "No Overnight Camping" signs up now. They are missing out on a huge market when they do that. Like with your shopping trip at Bucee's, you can't go in without spending $50-$100 on snacks, food, & whatnot. Their motto should be "Spend your money HERE!" then get the hell off our lot. Easy for me to say, but I wouldn't spend my money there after being kicked off the lot.
One thing I urge is that you get window curtains that aren't translucent... Having curtains that display light from within your van / truck, will cause interest for inquiry from passersby outside. Moreover, at night ---- the smallest pinhole of light coming through your windows, can be seen for miles away... Hence, possibly causing unwanted visitors... Just a little tidbit for stealth camping!👍🤙
Commercial? They have THOUSANDS of videos about them. If anything, they gave her content to make. She also violated their overnight sleeping policy which she knew about. No need to play victim.
@@jjman533 "e. She also violated their overnight sleeping policy which she knew about. No need to play victim." THANK YOU! She wasnt kicked out, she was asked to leave for breaking the rules. Rules she knew about!!
Morning. Your video came across my feed today and I heard you say that your gas gauge is acting wonky. If you have the funds, I suggest you have your fuel pump replaced soon, as that is one of the symptoms of failure soon to come. The mechanism is called a float and it is attached to the bottom of your fuel pump which is in the tank, and if that is failing then the fuel pump is most likely old. I'm merely suggesting this because I know what it's like to have a fuel pump strand you in the middle of the road. Good luck with your continued journey and bang on!😊
My wife and I were full time RVers. We NEVER slept in a store parking lot without first going inside and asking permission from the manager. And as a result, we never got kicked out.
@@TheCAPTturbo I give a F, because I wasn't raised to be a spoiled little entitlist who believes I'm entitled to everything just because it's there and I want it. I realize that their big empty parking lot is their private property, it belongs to them, and if I want to be a guest on it, I would at least have the decency to ask them first.
Insurance. Lots of parking lots won’t let you sleep overnight bc overnight security cost money and if something goes wrong (robbery, SA) they could sue the property owner.
They kick you out and you still want to spend your money there?! Do you realize that if you're not supporting those that support you, eventually there will be no one to support you. Loves, Flying J, and others that allow you to stay overnight, that is where you should be spending your money.
@@TheLifetraveler1 I understand that they are a unique experience. However, if they asked me to leave then my money isn't good enough for them. I'll take it somewhere else.
They need to open up a couple of rows at the back of the parking lot where people can sleep overnight. It's not like the parking lot isn't big enough...
@@skip686 i think it's understandable to not let people stay multiple nights, obviously it will get abused, but one night is harmless. if people don't leave, they get towed like how its always been. you can have overnight camping and nice lots
A full-timer of 6 years, I can honestly say we're our own worst enemies. Whether it's one night or 10 nights some people would abuse it, lounge chairs, cooking outside. It still amazes me how we Americans are so ignorant, and only takes few.
My grandpa had a colly with a blue an brown eye named blue. What a good dog, he would try and rescue me swimming in the gualala River as youngster. Good times. I know the feeling only going off miles. Drove my 96 dodge cummins for around 5 years no gas gauge, just counting miles. Truck has 400,000 miles on it and still rus great. Just recently bought a frontier, great little truck. 🇺🇲🦅
You are a better woman than I. There is no way I would've given my money to Buccees in the morning I would've given it to the one who showed me the love.
She should have been more transparent. There are signs at every Buc-eyes that state No Overnight parking. She was trying to stay when she knew it wasnt allowed. It is Clickbait and quite honestly her trying to do something not allowed and getting caught wasnt surprising.
I'm a Texan and Buccee-s is just a normal part of life, lol. Transplanted to Missouri 7 years ago, and we finally have two of them nearby. Safe travels and kiss the babies for me. 🥰
Went to a small bucees over 30 yrs ago in Texas haven't been to one since. We don't have any in Kansas. Can't believe they kicked u out after the money u spent there. Love Love's been going to them every time we went through Oklahoma. ❤❤
I’m a Texan and I do love buccees BUT I know to never try and stay the night there and I never use their gas. It’s way over priced. We stop occasionally on trips for food and a good clean restroom. Loves all the way🤘
The reason I love your channel is that you are a beautiful woman and you’re not out here using your looks to further your channel, I appreciate that so much.
Personally I wouldn't be giving Bucees my money, I appreciate that it's not a given right to sleep in car parks, but when other places are so accepting, I would show my $ appreciation with them.
Commercialism at its best. You promoted the hell out of them. They kicked you out..Actually told you to go to Loves, and you went back to patronize them?! How was that spite and vengeance?! 😮 With great respect, you are a very confused person.
Hopefully she will learn from this. I was young once and probably made similar bad decisions. I believe she should donate whatever money she made from this video and give it to Love's along with a a sincere letter of how grateful she is for them, allowing her to spend the night at their Love's location (basically saving her).
@@thedoor5442 i understand that but they had just kicked her out, why would you support them? Loves lets her sleep on their property she should be buying food there to support them because if they go out of business where will she sleep in a pinch? not at buc-cees thats for sure
I remember Kara and Nate living in their van and doing a 24 hours at BucEes video, and saying up front that BucEes didn't allow over night camping, so they had to move their van to sleep.
I like these 'low maintenance' kind of videos showcasing these road attractions like Bucee's. The World's Largest Truck Stop is another one that gets YT'd a lot. When on the road, these comfort food locations are a must stop. And I agree, Bucee's is its own personality with gas and plenty of fast food to go. I've never been to one but have to stop someday if out that way....travel on !!
I agree with Bucee's 100%. ESPECIALLY in Colorado. If they allowed "overnight" a bunch of folks would homestead their parking lot -- like they have all of Colorado's public land and anywhere private that allows overnight.
I also love all period English drama shows! You have lots of company. They’re so intelligently written! Love England and all that it is! We’re on Britbox right now but I’ve got Bridgerton written down for later. 🤣🤣🤣
I always call ahead if I need to spend the night. So far I've overnight parked at Cracker Barrel. I did email Love's customer service and they said that all locations allow overnight parking, but I still call ahead. Also really like the Love's app. I'm currently working on a list of places to sleep in a pinch, but so far Love's and Cracker Barrel have been OK for overnight for me.
Nearly all truck stops have room for overnight parking and allow it. The drivers won't bother you unless you insist on parking a small vehicle in a 75' long spot intended for tractor trailers. Avoiding the showers in the afternoon and evening will keep you in good standing to.
@@daddyof3girls09 Yeah Company Policy is no Overnight parking. In cases like that I don't hold it against the location or manager and employees as they are just doing their job.
I’m so stubborn I probably wouldn’t have gave them my business the next morning, I get it , that don’t want to attract bad elements, but so many people that rv full time that they could have a specific area for overnight camping and charge a fee they would probably be full 24/7/365 …. Also we had a 1977 pick up and the gas gage didn’t work , so my dad put a marble in the gas tank , so when the fuel was getting low you could hear it rolling around Hillbilly knowledge I guess 😊 ❤fromTX
Loves, Flying J, Pilot, and TA (Travel America?) - all are good for travelers - IF the truck noise doesn't bother you. A bit surprised, King Buc-ee didn't add an extra acre with dump station access - and realize how good road warriors CAN be appreciative!
Most of the time (not always) a fuel level that gives sporadic readings is just a bad ground. Follow wires near your fuel tanks to the frame or frame support and clean the connection. (or not)
Oh boy, you really showed them…you went right back in the morning “out of spite and vengeance” and gave them your money. Plus, you stayed the night at Love’s and you didn’t even have the decency to fill up at their gas station.
Went to my first Bucees at the start of the month. Stopped by the one in Kentucky... or was it Tennessee... It was crazy. The jerky deli counter was something to behold. Hey! You got the same jerky I got!!! THe bathroom stalls were awesome. Never had so much frivacy in a gas station toilet.
I’m sorry they kicked you out but I’m glad there was an alternative nearby. I was surprised because my experience with Johnstown is lots of truckers passing through. The reaction of the manager was funny because he was like “sick rig 😀 but you gotta go 👨💼”. The routine of it makes me think it’s just like he said they’re not a rest stop. So they had to treat you like any other rig trying to stay. Plus the fact that they already knew where you could go. I’m glad you didn’t let it deter you. Buc-ees seems pretty cool!
I'm in TEXAS, where Buccee's started, would love to overnight there; but everyone knows you just can't. And yes, PO being recognizable doesn't lend itself to stealth anything. Especially parked out there in the open! But glad you enjoyed, and glad Love's was nearby.
@@alaska-bornfloridaman it's the way they treat truckers, and rver's that I say they treat people like scum. Their motto is get in, give us your money and GET OUT. From what I understand they don't even provide a sitting area for people to enjoy their "world famous bbq"
as someone who lives where buc-ees started I'm definitely jealous of all the foreign travel locations they have ours are just normal gas stations some on the large side but only slightly.
We just had a Buckees store open outside of Springfield Missouri, people came flocking to it! My wife has visited it, she brought home all kinds of treats!
I've been to the Buc-ee's all over Texas and if you're going to visit Buc-ee's you better bring a lot of money, cause although gas is reasonably priced, everything else is very expensive.
It’s Disneyland for truck campers mixed with a fuel station, it’s fabulous fun and excessive,it looks American! A fun place for the tired traveller ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Americas largest gas station and they don’t let you stay there? So strange. If you ever make it to Australia you’re gonna love it here this type of behaviour is encouraged we call it stop revive survive :)
People should All boycott Bucees especially the delivery trucks that bring supplies to their stores since they won't even allow long distance trucks to come on their property 😡
I’ve been by the one in KY several times over the last couple of years. When they first opened, they enforced the no overnight parking. When I drove through in December of last year, there were several vans and a couple of RVs that overnighted there without a problem. Just give CO a little time.
The 4am wake up knock, yeah happened to me a couple of times. At least it wasn’t when I was in the Army, then my platoon Sergeant would just FLIP THE THE BED over..ahh memories…
RUclipsrs pay attention! This gal just gave them 206K reasons to let her stay. Apparently they could care less. I was all in for a trip there until that happened. Big business is so clueless when it comes to opportunities.
I'm pretty sure buccees doesn't care at all that you're upset you can't sleep there. Buccees is packed 24hours a day. Idk why anyone would try to sleep there in the first place
I mean, the store manager didn't know who she was and was only following orders from corporate. And I'm guessing corporate doesn't care about a RUclipsr when they already have a booming business with tons of customers. But to me, it's weird to get kicked out of a place from parking because of company policy, and then go to a place that welcomes overnight parking (unless the city/county has laws against it), and then go back and support the place that made you leave, and not support that place that let you stay. I'd at least bought gas/coffee.
It's clearly posted: No Camping. They are not OBLIGATED to ignore their own rule on their own property, just because some RUclipsr decides to post a video. They'd have people posting every single night. It's not like they told her no and everyone else yes. Their property, their rules.
Okay, so I've never gone to a Buccees before. They have always looked way too busy to make the effort to stop. However, after watching this video I'm down for checking out Buccees the next time I'm near one! Thanks!! Love watching your videos! Take care out on the road and be safe! Holly
Buccees is missing the mark on the overnight deal. Meanwhile Loves is opening locations catering to overnight camping!

The look on Blues face when you gave the puppy a toy 🐾💕😂
U HAVE T GIVE BOTH DOGS A TOY OR ONE WILL FEEL U LOVE THE OTHER DOG MORE!
Miss thang reminds me a lot of my baby girl. She was 2 when I rescued her and was still producing milk (she had been abused and over bred by her previous owners), I remember having to wipe up milk droplets on my floor. She was just as shy and timid but warmed up to me decently fast. She’s a German shepherd , border collie, Aussie shepherd mix. She was and is so smart and well tempered that I trained her to be my service dog. She’s now almost 9 and still going strong🥰
Spent a lot of time at Love's, and support them when I overnight. Never had a problem
Loves and Pilot. I also found a shell station that let me overnight.
Watching you live out of your vehicle reminds me of why I was soooo glad to walk away from living out of my truck while travel nursing for 7 years. The beauty of living out of my truck was that I was able to retire at 59 years of age from the money I saved on motel fees.
Best to you ❤
Poe is definitely unmistakable. Saw it on the interstate north of Denver and immediately knew it. It was like finding an Easter egg in the middle of rush hour traffic.
This is why I don't do Buck-s. I drive a 700K 45 foot coach flat towing a wrangler. Sometimes you just want a place to pull over, have dinner and sleep. Cracker Barrel works well. Loves, Pilot Fly J also.
So you’re upset because a place that has signs that say no overnight parking won’t let you park your huge mobile home on wheels overnight there?
@@ALongLongWaytoGO Not upset at all. They are free to do what they want and so am I. Cheers.
@@landbarron1420 but are you “really” free ?…..I mean it is the United States of America…..
I love you and Blue so much! But I have to tell you… I’m quite literally obsessed with your new baby girl!!! I can feel her sweetness through the tv!!! What a precious gift you got with her, and Blue seems to be just perfect with her!! Love love love!!! 🐾❤️ 🐾
Love's is where it is at. Showers, Laundry, diesel, coffee, cleaner bathrooms, better food, dog parks! Buccees is not overnight or pet friendly.
I did a van camping trip from Maryland to Florida recently. Noticed that several of the big 24 hr. stores along the way have "No Overnight Camping" signs up now. They are missing out on a huge market when they do that. Like with your shopping trip at Bucee's, you can't go in without spending $50-$100 on snacks, food, & whatnot. Their motto should be "Spend your money HERE!" then get the hell off our lot. Easy for me to say, but I wouldn't spend my money there after being kicked off the lot.
Blue was pissed 😂 he wanted an armadillo too you could see it all over his face.
yes inagreel dont TELL BUBBIE NO! HIS SISTER DOG DIDNT WANT THE TOY!
For real! Switch the toys!
SPENDING BANK ON DOG TOYS IS DUMB
Rip blue…
Right
One thing I urge is that you get window curtains that aren't translucent... Having curtains that display light from within your van / truck, will cause interest for inquiry from passersby outside. Moreover, at night ---- the smallest pinhole of light coming through your windows, can be seen for miles away... Hence, possibly causing unwanted visitors... Just a little tidbit for stealth camping!👍🤙
Black felt doubled up completely blocks out interior lights.
After such a long Bucee's commercial, I can't believe they kicked you out!
Yes 😂
They actually I think have it posted in the Bucees that I’ve been in no overnight parking
@absolutelyfailz4480be nice, you’ll feel better
Commercial? They have THOUSANDS of videos about them. If anything, they gave her content to make. She also violated their overnight sleeping policy which she knew about. No need to play victim.
@@jjman533 "e. She also violated their overnight sleeping policy which she knew about. No need to play victim." THANK YOU! She wasnt kicked out, she was asked to leave for breaking the rules. Rules she knew about!!
Morning. Your video came across my feed today and I heard you say that your gas gauge is acting wonky. If you have the funds, I suggest you have your fuel pump replaced soon, as that is one of the symptoms of failure soon to come. The mechanism is called a float and it is attached to the bottom of your fuel pump which is in the tank, and if that is failing then the fuel pump is most likely old. I'm merely suggesting this because I know what it's like to have a fuel pump strand you in the middle of the road. Good luck with your continued journey and bang on!😊
My wife and I were full time RVers. We NEVER slept in a store parking lot without first going inside and asking permission from the manager. And as a result, we never got kicked out.
Lol congrats... good for you. Big empty parking lot where you spent money at...who gives a f
@@TheCAPTturbo Apparently buccee's does for some reason.
@@TheCAPTturbo
I give a F, because I wasn't raised to be a spoiled little entitlist who believes I'm entitled to everything just because it's there and I want it.
I realize that their big empty parking lot is their private property, it belongs to them, and if I want to be a guest on it, I would at least have the decency to ask them first.
@@scenicdriveways6708
Correct, always ask first like a respectful person would.
Insurance. Lots of parking lots won’t let you sleep overnight bc overnight security cost money and if something goes wrong (robbery, SA) they could sue the property owner.
I think you should’ve bought gas at the loves since they let us stay there
They kick you out and you still want to spend your money there?! Do you realize that if you're not supporting those that support you, eventually there will be no one to support you. Loves, Flying J, and others that allow you to stay overnight, that is where you should be spending your money.
Sorry, those places you mentioned don't even come close to a Buccees.
@@TheLifetraveler1 They don't kick me out of the parking lot if I stay overnight. You really missed my point. That strike flew right by you.
@@USMC6976I meant they don't come close to buc-ee's in relation to the adventure that's easy
@@TheLifetraveler1 I understand that they are a unique experience. However, if they asked me to leave then my money isn't good enough for them. I'll take it somewhere else.
@@TheLifetraveler1 A gas station is not supposed to be an adventure.
They need to open up a couple of rows at the back of the parking lot where people can sleep overnight. It's not like the parking lot isn't big enough...
Hard no, it's nice for a reason.
@@skip686 i think it's understandable to not let people stay multiple nights, obviously it will get abused, but one night is harmless. if people don't leave, they get towed like how its always been. you can have overnight camping and nice lots
@@skip686 it is already a big enough parking lot, with basically 100 gas pumps, there really is no reason to not allow it lol
Nope people trash places
A full-timer of 6 years, I can honestly say we're our own worst enemies. Whether it's one night or 10 nights some people would abuse it, lounge chairs, cooking outside. It still amazes me how we Americans are so ignorant, and only takes few.
My grandpa had a colly with a blue an brown eye named blue. What a good dog, he would try and rescue me swimming in the gualala River as youngster. Good times. I know the feeling only going off miles. Drove my 96 dodge cummins for around 5 years no gas gauge, just counting miles. Truck has 400,000 miles on it and still rus great. Just recently bought a frontier, great little truck. 🇺🇲🦅
So nice to see your family enjoying your trip together. Ruda is ao well behaved. Thanks to her parent's parenting.
You are a better woman than I. There is no way I would've given my money to Buccees in the morning I would've given it to the one who showed me the love.
Everyone isn’t soft like you
The brisket sandwiches are the best. I actually live in Texas and have five Buckees in my town.
They pay employees 20 hour. Employees are nicest people. But food is terrible and home goods high dollar.
Bucees has the worst bbq in the world. Even sorry ass rudys bbq is better. Hell , quick trip has better bbq than bucees. @melodys3996
She should have been more transparent. There are signs at every Buc-eyes that state No Overnight parking. She was trying to stay when she knew it wasnt allowed. It is Clickbait and quite honestly her trying to do something not allowed and getting caught wasnt surprising.
I'm a Texan and Buccee-s is just a normal part of life, lol. Transplanted to Missouri 7 years ago, and we finally have two of them nearby. Safe travels and kiss the babies for me. 🥰
Most of Texas doesn't have Buc-ee's so that's not true
@@andrew348 Well, where I've lived, it was prevalent. Galveston County (and surrounding counties) and Comal County.
@@andrew348 every big city in Texas, and a few smaller one's has one. I'm not a fan of them personally. Overpriced and that BBQ is absolute garbage.
Buddy and Mama are adorable, cute and I just want to give them a hug! 🥰 ❤💙
I been traveling for decades and only stop at Loves
Hi again Maria, nice to see you and your dogs are still safe. 🙂👍👍👍
Two new videos this week we must be special thanks Ria ❤
I’m glad Miss Thang is getting used to you and Blue!!!
Thanks!
Went to a small bucees over 30 yrs ago in Texas haven't been to one since. We don't have any in Kansas. Can't believe they kicked u out after the money u spent there. Love Love's been going to them every time we went through Oklahoma. ❤❤
I’m a Texan and I do love buccees BUT I know to never try and stay the night there and I never use their gas. It’s way over priced. We stop occasionally on trips for food and a good clean restroom. Loves all the way🤘
Hahaha Blue didn't look too happy when you gave "her with no name" her new toy.
Sib jealousy
When did little girl join the pack? I missed it!!!
You showed Buc EES alright….going back and spending even more money than you did before they kicked you out!😂
I’m a trucker and we aren’t welcome on the lot period. I will NEVER give them a penny of my money.
Truckers have so many choices you don’t need a car Rv one too!
That stinks
The reason I love your channel is that you are a beautiful woman and you’re not out here using your looks to further your channel, I appreciate that so much.
Yup! Buc-ees looks amazing and I’ll visit soon but next time give support to Loves and diesel-up there please!
Personally I wouldn't be giving Bucees my money, I appreciate that it's not a given right to sleep in car parks, but when other places are so accepting, I would show my $ appreciation with them.
👏👏👏👏
Commercialism at its best. You promoted the hell out of them. They kicked you out..Actually told you to go to Loves, and you went back to patronize them?! How was that spite and vengeance?! 😮 With great respect, you are a very confused person.
Hopefully she will learn from this. I was young once and probably made similar bad decisions. I believe she should donate whatever money she made from this video and give it to Love's along with a a sincere letter of how grateful she is for them, allowing her to spend the night at their Love's location (basically saving her).
Odd, huh?
40+ and single? Yeah.
A lot of ppl in this comment section sound absolutely deluded…she got coffee in the morning, didn’t donate her 1Mil lottery win, chill
She screwed Loves. Nice going.
why go back and give bucees your money??? you should be spending it at Loves and supporting them like they support you by not kicking you out.
Buc-cees is much cleaner with great food!
@@thedoor5442 i understand that but they had just kicked her out, why would you support them? Loves lets her sleep on their property she should be buying food there to support them because if they go out of business where will she sleep in a pinch? not at buc-cees thats for sure
So great to see you having fun and enjoying a meal.
I've been to that Bucky's. Once, I guess I'll never go back. It's pretty crappy that they won't allow rest stops, really!
The best version of Pride and Prejudice that I've ever watched is the 1995 TV mini-series with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth.
This is the objectively correct answer. Keira Knightley version second, then the rest.
Absolutely 💯….to both
2nd that
Rather watch Black Adder
I remember Kara and Nate living in their van and doing a 24 hours at BucEes video, and saying up front that BucEes didn't allow over night camping, so they had to move their van to sleep.
Truckers and Nomads are not the "market share" Buccees caters too. There are signs clearly posted stating no sleeping in Parking Lot.
RIGHt !!!! The hippies and slobs are mad because they can’t park overnight at a place that says no overnight parking allowed.
I like these 'low maintenance' kind of videos showcasing these road attractions like Bucee's. The World's Largest Truck Stop is another one that gets YT'd a lot. When on the road, these comfort food locations are a must stop. And I agree, Bucee's is its own personality with gas and plenty of fast food to go. I've never been to one but have to stop someday if out that way....travel on !!
I agree with Bucee's 100%. ESPECIALLY in Colorado. If they allowed "overnight" a bunch of folks would homestead their parking lot -- like they have all of Colorado's public land and anywhere private that allows overnight.
Two this week my life just got heaps better. Kiss and cuddle those puppers for me. Be Safe Gurl. You all are in my prayers ALWAYS 💓🙂
I also love all period English drama shows! You have lots of company. They’re so intelligently written! Love England and all that it is! We’re on Britbox right now but I’ve got Bridgerton written down for later. 🤣🤣🤣
I always call ahead if I need to spend the night. So far I've overnight parked at Cracker Barrel. I did email Love's customer service and they said that all locations allow overnight parking, but I still call ahead. Also really like the Love's app.
I'm currently working on a list of places to sleep in a pinch, but so far Love's and Cracker Barrel have been OK for overnight for me.
Nearly all truck stops have room for overnight parking and allow it. The drivers won't bother you unless you insist on parking a small vehicle in a 75' long spot intended for tractor trailers. Avoiding the showers in the afternoon and evening will keep you in good standing to.
Guarantee buc-ees will NEVER make your list
@@daddyof3girls09 Yeah Company Policy is no Overnight parking. In cases like that I don't hold it against the location or manager and employees as they are just doing their job.
I think they should have a nap zone for tired travelers on their property. ( with purchase ) as long as people weren’t taking advantage.
Love's is the way to go-ALWAYS.
I frequent and nearly solely only use Loves as they welcome RVers. Most Pilots too. TA, Petro, and Buccees clearly don't want my money!
Loves and Flying J fuel prices are almost half again higher than Buckees.
I’m so stubborn I probably wouldn’t have gave them my business the next morning, I get it , that don’t want to attract bad elements, but so many people that rv full time that they could have a specific area for overnight camping and charge a fee they would probably be full 24/7/365 ….
Also we had a 1977 pick up and the gas gage didn’t work , so my dad put a marble in the gas tank , so when the fuel was getting low you could hear it rolling around
Hillbilly knowledge I guess 😊
❤fromTX
Buc Fucee’s!!! No overnight and truckers not allowed!
Loves, Flying J, Pilot, and TA (Travel America?) - all are good for travelers - IF the truck noise doesn't bother you. A bit surprised, King Buc-ee didn't add an extra acre with dump station access - and realize how good road warriors CAN be appreciative!
Most of the time (not always) a fuel level that gives sporadic readings is just a bad ground. Follow wires near your fuel tanks to the frame or frame support and clean the connection. (or not)
Oh boy, you really showed them…you went right back in the morning “out of spite and vengeance” and gave them your money. Plus, you stayed the night at Love’s and you didn’t even have the decency to fill up at their gas station.
At least he suggested Love's and didn't leave you in the dust.
The new pup's name should be Sky. That way this phrase would cover all three of you. "Beautiful Blue Sky".
Agree, hundreds liked the last post saying Sky! Should have been Sky x
Great suggestion!!
I know Blue Sky!
I said this on the post she got the new dog! Sky is a no brainer.
🙄🙄🙄🤮
I think you are so well spoken and I find your voice soothing. Good on you for being adventurous!
Went to my first Bucees at the start of the month. Stopped by the one in Kentucky... or was it Tennessee... It was crazy. The jerky deli counter was something to behold. Hey! You got the same jerky I got!!! THe bathroom stalls were awesome. Never had so much frivacy in a gas station toilet.
Blue was clearly perturbed when she saw baby girl get her toy 😂😂
A little jealous
Name suggestion for your new pup: "Lizzie" after Elizabeth Bennett in "Pride & Prejudice".
That would be confusing bc my family calls me Lizzie 😂
Nope name after Nursey in Black Adder 3
The way Blue was looking when you gave the girl dog her toy 😂😂😂😂
I’m sorry they kicked you out but I’m glad there was an alternative nearby. I was surprised because my experience with Johnstown is lots of truckers passing through.
The reaction of the manager was funny because he was like “sick rig 😀 but you gotta go 👨💼”. The routine of it makes me think it’s just like he said they’re not a rest stop. So they had to treat you like any other rig trying to stay. Plus the fact that they already knew where you could go.
I’m glad you didn’t let it deter you. Buc-ees seems pretty cool!
I'm in TEXAS, where Buccee's started, would love to overnight there; but everyone knows you just can't. And yes, PO being recognizable doesn't lend itself to stealth anything. Especially parked out there in the open! But glad you enjoyed, and glad Love's was nearby.
No! Don’t go back and give them money for breakfast, they kicked you out. Loves deserves your money more 😠
You should get your fuel at Loves as Buc-cees doesn’t deserve your money for kicking you out!!
Fuel is much cheaper at Buc-ee's than just about everywhere else. It's not just their food that draws people in.
@@alaska-bornfloridaman I disagree. Love's has always had cheaper gas, especially if you have the 10 cent off Loves app.
@@alaska-bornfloridamandoesn't mean they can treat people like scum.
@@daddyof3girls09
How exactly is offering cheaper fuel and delicious food treating people like scum?
That's just stupid.
@@alaska-bornfloridaman it's the way they treat truckers, and rver's that I say they treat people like scum. Their motto is get in, give us your money and GET OUT. From what I understand they don't even provide a sitting area for people to enjoy their "world famous bbq"
Lol returning to Bucees for pure spite and vengeance! 😂
Giving them your money is an odd way to express spite and vengeance.
@@wjlintz 😂
@@wjlintz
🤣💯
as someone who lives where buc-ees started I'm definitely jealous of all the foreign travel locations they have ours are just normal gas stations some on the large side but only slightly.
We just had a Buckees store open outside of Springfield Missouri, people came flocking to it! My wife has visited it, she brought home all kinds of treats!
You really need to give bucees the boot. I would be damned if i would spend another dime there. I don't do bucees as they don't allow semi's.
At least you didn't spell their name right in the title, "Bucee-s" doesn't deserve free advertising if they can't let you stay one night lol
Well it's a corporate decision cause of people trashing place
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN people are usually the problem
YES! PRIDE & PREJUDICE ❤️
Nope BLACKADDER way better
I've been to the Buc-ee's all over Texas and if you're going to visit Buc-ee's you better bring a lot of money, cause although gas is reasonably priced, everything else is very expensive.
I live within sight of this place. It is crazy how much more light is in the sky at night because of this place.
It’s Disneyland for truck campers mixed with a fuel station, it’s fabulous fun and excessive,it looks American! A fun place for the tired traveller ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Americas largest gas station and they don’t let you stay there? So strange. If you ever make it to Australia you’re gonna love it here this type of behaviour is encouraged we call it stop revive survive :)
People should All boycott Bucees especially the delivery trucks that bring supplies to their stores since they won't even allow long distance trucks to come on their property 😡
You got that right! We're big rig drivers but we'll never go to a Bucees even if we were in our personal vehicle 😮
Never been there. And will never go there.
They are not a truck stop.
I’ve been by the one in KY several times over the last couple of years. When they first opened, they enforced the no overnight parking. When I drove through in December of last year, there were several vans and a couple of RVs that overnighted there without a problem. Just give CO a little time.
I am so grateful to learn this about Love's. They will have my support and loyalty in the future as I travel.
The 4am wake up knock, yeah happened to me a couple of times. At least it wasn’t when I was in the Army, then my platoon Sergeant would just FLIP THE THE BED over..ahh memories…
RUclipsrs pay attention! This gal just gave them 206K reasons to let her stay. Apparently they could care less. I was all in for a trip there until that happened. Big business is so clueless when it comes to opportunities.
I'm pretty sure buccees doesn't care at all that you're upset you can't sleep there. Buccees is packed 24hours a day. Idk why anyone would try to sleep there in the first place
Bucee's couldn't care less about you or 206k YT subscribers.
No one gives a crap bruh
I mean, the store manager didn't know who she was and was only following orders from corporate. And I'm guessing corporate doesn't care about a RUclipsr when they already have a booming business with tons of customers.
But to me, it's weird to get kicked out of a place from parking because of company policy, and then go to a place that welcomes overnight parking (unless the city/county has laws against it), and then go back and support the place that made you leave, and not support that place that let you stay. I'd at least bought gas/coffee.
It's clearly posted: No Camping. They are not OBLIGATED to ignore their own rule on their own property, just because some RUclipsr decides to post a video. They'd have people posting every single night. It's not like they told her no and everyone else yes. Their property, their rules.
Another new video,YAY! Boo to you
Buccees😠 How dare you kick our
girl Maria and her 2 gorgeous dogs
out! That really blows! 💛🐾💙🐕
Waaahhhh
Okay, so I've never gone to a Buccees before. They have always looked way too busy to make the effort to stop. However, after watching this video I'm down for checking out Buccees the next time I'm near one! Thanks!! Love watching your videos! Take care out on the road and be safe! Holly
Love listening to the sound of your diesel truck. I too have one and love the sound of the motor every time it starts up
