They would not mind the people camping it is like other situations unfortunately the few made it hard on the rest so they just did away with overnight stays.
That’s not their business model. They don’t cater to semi trucks either. I respect that they don’t allow overnight camping. That brings the weirdos and makes their lot look terrible. They don’t have the cleanest bathrooms for a reason
@@SimonSaysyo some would argue your a wierdo because you a square watching videos a girl who lives in her truck while simultaneously hating on poeple camping out in their vehicle.

I basically just made this same comment. Not that it matters, but I'm pretty disappointed in her actions. I would of happily supported Loves for saving my night allowing me to sleep there. Its the least she could have done. What a slap in the face.
Loves also has trashed lots. That smells like piss. Grass that's been drove through signs ran over. No wonder Bucees doesn't want "professional" drivers
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🥰
as a Texan, been to bucees once, probably never go back, its just a tourist trap with the prices to match, have one less than 5 miles from my house. yall can have it.
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.

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. I've seen them welcome a 2500 pickup pulling a 45 foot rv but refuse a bobtail or even a HDT pulling a custom rv because it's a truck. If you look around 90% of videos about them are negative.
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.
I bet the people at Loves appreciate this video. "Let's go sleep at Loves. We'll come right back to Buc-ee's in the morning." (I was kinda hoping you'd at least fill up at Loves.)
Love's and Bucee-s have saved me so many times, as a single father who has to drive through several states just to see my daughter. Those places have saved me on numerous times the no sleep @ Bucee's is terrible but Love's takes care of you really. I'm A Soldier in the Army.
Sorry dude but if you have to drive through several states to see your daughter you need to move close or closer to her. Life's too short to let time with your daughter slip away because you live so far from her that it is onerous to see her
@jubeinagyu Thank you for protecting our country! And also keeping up with your daughter. Military life sucks for families quite often. God bless you for sticking it out!
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!
Agreed. I work remotely and travel in my RV. Buceee-s is a good place for lunch, some snacks, a bag of ice and soft-drinks. As for staying there overnight....No thanks.
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.

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.

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 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.
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
If Buccees is going to be a great place they should do overnight parking for vans and stuff. I do know when there was bad weather in areas of Texas they let people stay there overnight in motorhomes and stuff in Bastrop Texas. The people had no place to go. So buccees let them stay there.
@@gracieg7601 they are a great place. Part of the reason is a conscious decision to not be an overnight parking lot. It generates a need for increased security and invites sometimes unsavory long term stay patrons rather than folks that want to get rest and move on. You can see the unintended Consequences at the first place that made themselves available, WalMart. Many are now having to pull back due to long term stays, increased crime, no reciprocity from folks that use the lot but won’t even buy an apple in the store.
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.
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~!
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.
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!!! 🐾❤️ 🐾
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.
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!👍🤙
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. 🥰
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.
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!😊
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.
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 ❤
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).
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🤘
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.
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.
@@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 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 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 !!
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.
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
Blue honestly couldn’t believe you got her a toy also.. the look at you while you gave it to her then back at her, to you. Almost like what in the world mom? Really? I thought that was something special between us 😂😂😂😂
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.
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 :)
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)
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. 🇺🇲🦅
@@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"
It’s very easy to spend the night at Bucees, go inside and tell the lady cashier you are woman alone and feel safe to take a nap in their parking lot. That has always gotten me 6-8 hours.
I love bucees coffee, brisket, bathrooms, and gas prices, BUT I’ve decided if I can’t sleep in my vehicle after driving for hours and hours on end, I’ll just find another place to use the bathroom, get gas, and eat.
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…
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 ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Support those who support You!!! Especially if you are a female traveling alone!!! If I had been kicked out of one I’d be dang I’d ever go to another one! Go to Walmart or Target or Loves!!!!
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!
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 😡
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.
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!
I was totally having anxiety waiting for the knock, lol. Sorry that happened to you. What a way to kill the joy, eh? At least the guy was nice about it. Right?
They don’t allow truckers and no overnight parking and never have so I’m not sure why people are so shocked that don’t allow no truckers and no overnight parking. Also you research gas stations on line and find out overnight parking or not plus if showers are available ect.
You could have just told him you were waiting to get coffee and breakfast. 😂😂 I’ve never been to a Bucee’s but we are finally getting one in Arkansas and it’s not too far from me. Can’t wait!
Buccees is missing the mark on the overnight deal. Meanwhile Loves is opening locations catering to overnight camping!
Too True- I'm a fan of Love's & Pilot always easier on/off than CB
They would not mind the people camping it is like other situations unfortunately the few made it hard on the rest so they just did away with overnight stays.

@@gracieg7601 they are a great place. Part of the reason is a conscious decision to not be an overnight parking lot. It generates a need for increased security and invites sometimes unsavory long term stay patrons rather than folks that want to get rest and move on. You can see the unintended Consequences at the first place that made themselves available, WalMart. Many are now having to pull back due to long term stays, increased crime, no reciprocity from folks that use the lot but won’t even buy an apple in the store.
She’s probably waiting on them to send her some 😂
Luxury night to me is a pilot with a hot shower lol priorities jmho
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
I can’t believe she immediately went back in the morning to give them more money.
@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.
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
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~!
Love's is where it is at. Showers, Laundry, diesel, coffee, cleaner bathrooms, better food, dog parks! Buccees is not overnight or pet friendly.
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.
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!!! 🐾❤️ 🐾
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.
So nice to see your family enjoying your trip together. Ruda is ao well behaved. Thanks to her parent's parenting.
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
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.
Buddy and Mama are adorable, cute and I just want to give them a hug! 🥰 ❤💙
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.
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.
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!😊
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.
👏👏👏👏
I think you should’ve bought gas at the loves since they let us stay there
Two new videos this week we must be special thanks Ria ❤
Hi again Maria, nice to see you and your dogs are still safe. 🙂👍👍👍
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 ❤
I’m glad Miss Thang is getting used to you and Blue!!!
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.
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!!!
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🤘
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.
You showed Buc EES alright….going back and spending even more money than you did before they kicked you out!😂
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.
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.
At least he suggested Love's and didn't leave you in the dust.
Blue was clearly perturbed when she saw baby girl get her toy 😂😂
A little jealous
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
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
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 think they should have a nap zone for tired travelers on their property. ( with purchase ) as long as people weren’t taking advantage.
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 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. 🤣🤣🤣
Yup! Buc-ees looks amazing and I’ll visit soon but next time give support to Loves and diesel-up there please!
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 !!
They don’t want their parking lot to smell like a urinal. Can’t say I blame them. Truck stops and rest areas are disgusting.
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 💓🙂
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 been traveling for decades and only stop at Loves
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.
I live within sight of this place. It is crazy how much more light is in the sky at night because of this place.
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
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
The way Blue was looking when you gave the girl dog her toy 😂😂😂😂
Blue honestly couldn’t believe you got her a toy also.. the look at you while you gave it to her then back at her, to you. Almost like what in the world mom? Really? I thought that was something special between us 😂😂😂😂
Loves took care of me and I will never let them down.Btw we have a lot in common... Full time van lifer but not so much RUclipsr
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.
🙄🙄🙄🤮
No! Don’t go back and give them money for breakfast, they kicked you out. Loves deserves your money more 😠
Lol returning to Bucees for pure spite and vengeance! 😂
Giving them your money is an odd way to express spite and vengeance.
@@wjlintz 😂
@@wjlintz
🤣💯
That little girl is so calm she just stays in her little bed she’s so sweet I just wanna snuggle her up
I think you are so well spoken and I find your voice soothing. Good on you for being adventurous!
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.
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
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 :)
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)
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 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"
It’s very easy to spend the night at Bucees, go inside and tell the lady cashier you are woman alone and feel safe to take a nap in their parking lot. That has always gotten me 6-8 hours.
I’m dying for her to announce what the baby girl is named🥹
Me too 😂 let’s hope I figure it out soon
@@roamingrecklessOlive
I love bucees coffee, brisket, bathrooms, and gas prices, BUT I’ve decided if I can’t sleep in my vehicle after driving for hours and hours on end, I’ll just find another place to use the bathroom, get gas, and eat.
I am not a truck driver but I travel all over the US for work. Love's is my go to place. To me, Bucee's is over priced and a tourist trap.
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…
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 ✌️❤️🇬🇧
blue looked a little pist off about his sister getting the toy stuffed armadillo....@4:05
Support those who support You!!! Especially if you are a female traveling alone!!! If I had been kicked out of one I’d be dang I’d ever go to another one! Go to Walmart or Target or Loves!!!!
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!
YES! PRIDE & PREJUDICE ❤️
Nope BLACKADDER way better
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
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.
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.
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!
I was totally having anxiety waiting for the knock, lol. Sorry that happened to you. What a way to kill the joy, eh? At least the guy was nice about it. Right?
Waaah
They don’t allow truckers and no overnight parking and never have so I’m not sure why people are so shocked that don’t allow no truckers and no overnight parking. Also you research gas stations on line and find out overnight parking or not plus if showers are available ect.
You could have just told him you were waiting to get coffee and breakfast. 😂😂 I’ve never been to a Bucee’s but we are finally getting one in Arkansas and it’s not too far from me. Can’t wait!
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!
Thanks!
