Your video reminded me of a time when gas station attendants would pump your gas for you and check your oil, wash the windshield, and air up the tires. Never had to get out of your car. I remember it well.
No way. I was in the background in the video, and I knew something was up when I saw your camera and so I decided to look, and there I am with my family.
my father was drove trucks in the state of Colorado bolder Colorado he worked in the the Moffet tunnel before moving to San Francisco California way back when my father was raised during the great depression my drove bottom dumps trucks doubles between Santa Cruz California to San Francisco California autocar trucks sorry for getting off topic.
I like the old gravity-feed gas pumps with the sight glass. They didn't have mechanical pumps like modern gas pumps because they used the force of gravity to let the fuel pour out from the sight glass. This is why the pumps are so tall, too. The reason why they had a sight glass on top of the pump was because this was the way the gas attendant could see how much fuel they put into your car. Also, due to the fact that gasoline didn't always have good quality back then. Back in the early 1900s and early twenties it was common to have water contamination in your gasoline. The sight glass would show if there was any water sitting at the bottom of the gasoline inside the sight glass. You could see the water and gas separation inside the sight glass.
My late Brother drove Semi's ..for some of the Best Companies; .I took some trips with him...and the Truck Stop Food, was the Best!! He knew all the Good Ones..We stopped at a very big one in Tn. Such Good Memories!!! Nice Road Trip!! Iowa a Nice Peaceful State....🚛🚛 So Nice to see the States....
Love when you go through Iowa! My family all lives in Des Moines. And I have a thing for cool gas stations and truck stops. So as you can guess, I’m thrilled!! Awesome video as always!! Thanks, Woo! ❤
I live a few miles away from that truck stop and never been in the truck muesem so glad you showed it. Ive been following you for about 7 years now ever since i had a several stroke that caused me not to walk anymore and i used to take my kids to disney so your channel would have me reminnaisse of going to the orlando area and as a kid my dad would take us to clemont, florida and stay in an a A frame cabin on a lake that was in the 60s. Welcome to our area, side note i was a truck driver for awhile
Thank you for featuring the trucking museum for so long in this video. It's an amazing place and I can't believe that they don't charge an admission. I'd love to go to the Field of Dreams at some point, so this place is a little extra motivation to make that trip.
I've been an artist all my life, so I notice a lot of odd things. Composition is one such thing, and I have to say, Adam, that your photography has gotten to be quite good over the years. The way you frame your camera shots, etc has improved dramatically since I first found your channel years ago. It's amazing how you seem to have developed a natural sense of cinematography and composition. I salute you, amigo!
So you're doing road trip/roadside attraction videos, and The Carpetbagger is doing Disney videos. It's like you guys have switched bodies this week....
Thank you so much Adam. That trucking museum was indeed awesome and a place I would otherwise never got to see if not for you, so thank you again for bringing us along. I really enjoy these road trips.
I love this video of yours! Wow! The Worlds Largest Truck Stop and Trucking Museum. You showcased so many of the of the really cool things there like “Hank.” I definitely need to visit this place one day. I know I’ll be watching this one again. Thanks for going here!! 😊 Safe travels …..
Great video! I live 40 minutes west of the truck stop and always enjoy stopping by to see "new" trucks that have been added to the museum. It is definitely worth checking out!
Good morning Adam, its amazing what you find on your travels.That truck stop museum is mind blowing.Iam glad you have better weather today.Safe travels, from Universal Jamie.
I got ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive. Just passed a Jimmy and a White, I’ve been passing everything in sight. Six days on the road and I’m gonna make it home tonight.
I been to that place multiple times in the early mid 90's when I'd drive out to Iowa and work 10 days then get 4 days off and come home for it. Bought gallons of piping hot coffee from there, lol.
One thing I noticed when I worked in quite a few different cities, towns and blink and you miss them towns out there, is they almost always had community swimming pools. Never see that here in Michigan.
In the gift shop, there's a machine that does 3 different pressed pennies. The museum doesn't have an admission, but does accept donations. There's also a dog wash. And the buffet restaurant is pretty decent. Thanks for showing one of my favorite places
Hello Adam great road trip video into Iowa..The I 80 truck museum and other stuff are very impressive..Nice freight train passing..Beautiful farm land..
food is great at main restaurant and they also have buffet. i will definitely have to check out the trucking museum would think i have already living here and working in trucking industry for 30 years. thanks for sharing these videos
Thank you for visiting the museum. I was a truck driver for 30 years in the northeast US, and I remember seeing that Henry Good truck around A LOT in the 80s and mid-90s. My most recent job before retiring was working for Hood/Crowley in Massachusetts, so I saw the Crowley model tractor trailer in the display case and I hauled trailers with that series of logo. I also worked for Dominos Pizza, and I would wonder if the truck stop had a scale model of a Dominos truck... my boss had one on his desk and a lot of us drivers had the tiny Matchbox scale trucks given to us for safe driving, customer service, etc. Thanks again Adam, for being who you are and shedding joy on the world.
Love trains! Each time I see a freight train now I think about HoBo Shoestring! He had a great RUclips channel. Sucks he passed away recently. Lived a free and full life traveling the rails. Love these videos Adam. Real America!
Morning Adam 😎📸 the road trip are great your doing, getting gas ⛽ i see. I like the trucking museum in Iowa 80, looks awesome, convoy 🚛. Thanks for sharing this. ✌️
My wife was the directer of the museum for about 6 months. They have a full restoration facility on location. When she was there that coca-cola truck was in the process of restoration.
I go to every car show in the North Idaho area and the old trucks are my favorite! There are so many classic cars out there, but few commercial trucks were restored, so that museum is a real treat! Will definitely see it if I ever get on that cross country road trip I have been planning for more years than I remember now!
I grew up in a neighborhood in NJ that had a family owned TEXACO station😍We would ride our bikes there to buy Cokes from the Soda machine❤great memories!

Toonces The Driving Cat reference? 21:46
Also, I guess you missed the REO Speedwagon (the 1980s group were named after a truck)!
I didn’t even know that they had a museum
You inspired me to spend my 60rh birthday at Buc-ees. Now you inspired me to hop on highway to go to Iowa 80. Thank u🥸
How far west do you plan to drive Adam? Loving the vibe of the road trip.
Truckers keep America moving! Thank you for delivering what we need rain or shine and in the dead of night💯👑☝️🥂
I love how you “take time to smell the roses” in life. Good for you!
Your video reminded me of a time when gas station attendants would pump your gas for you and check your oil, wash the windshield, and air up the tires. Never had to get out of your car. I remember it well.
They did it all.
This is a cool museum!
I loved every minute of this visit to Iowa. That truck museum was amazing. Thanks for taking me along! 👍🏼
No way. I was in the background in the video, and I knew something was up when I saw your camera and so I decided to look, and there I am with my family.
Iowa 80 Museum is cool. Thanks for sharing.
Two Thumbz 👍👍
Thanks mark
Wow, that museum is amazing. I love the old gas pumps, vehicles, and signs!!
At 25:37 I thought Mr. Sandman song would be playing with 4 Texico servicemen running out, ready to work on your car Adam
Drinking game: Take a drink every time Adam says "Worlds Largest Truckstop"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im in 🍻🍺😊
With the energy drink I'm drinking I'll probably be flying through my roof to the moon by the time the video is over.
Could I drink water ? 😆
I'm game!!
Lightweight
Lots of Truckers in my family from now going well back. This was the way to support their family independently and they did! 🚚
my father was drove trucks in the state of Colorado bolder Colorado he worked in the the Moffet tunnel before moving to San Francisco California way back when my father was raised during the great depression my drove bottom dumps trucks doubles between Santa Cruz California to San Francisco California autocar trucks sorry for getting off topic.
I'm into trucks as well been playing American truck simulator plus euro truck simulator.
now I have that song stuck in my head convoy song even made a 1970s truck movies called convoy.
@@bendavis6722just start singing eastbound and down
Old truckers never die. They just get a new Peterbilt.
I like the old gravity-feed gas pumps with the sight glass.

You could see the water and gas separation inside the sight glass.
Something about the Iowa vibe that is just peaceful and relaxing. Love these back road adventures!
thank you Adam for another great video.
you inspire many of us to get off the couch and see America.
ATW rocks!
I love that Adamn has random surprise train catches in many of his travel vlogs! He's a rail fan!
My late Brother drove Semi's ..for some of the Best Companies; .I took some trips with him...and the Truck Stop Food, was the Best!! He knew all the Good Ones..We stopped at a very big one in Tn. Such Good Memories!!! Nice Road Trip!! Iowa a Nice Peaceful State....🚛🚛 So Nice to see the States....
That museum is quite impressive!
Super good ! Was really impressed
Most impressive
They don't have admission, just donation. That's how they can afford to renovate the trucks.

The last two videos, for me, just cut off at the end almost mid sentence 🤔
Great Museum. I think of the movie 'Convoy' with Kristoffer Kristofferson. 😊❤ 10-4 Rubber Duck.
Love when you go through Iowa! My family all lives in Des Moines. And I have a thing for cool gas stations and truck stops. So as you can guess, I’m thrilled!! Awesome video as always!! Thanks, Woo! ❤
Free AWESOME museum full of trucks & signage galore, it looks amazing. Plus a unique huge truck stop. Dang! & sweet t-shirt....if you know you know. 👍

I could spend hours in that museum. I love looking at old vehicles. Very impressive place with no admissions charge which is very shocking. 😳
Amazing place there! Thanks for hitting the road for us!

I am always happy to see my beloved Iowa popping up in travel videos. (seriously head to Ida Grove if you can. )
Thanks for taking us along on your Iowa adventures.
Good morning Adam, its amazing what you find on your travels.That truck stop museum is mind blowing.Iam glad you have better weather today.Safe travels, from Universal Jamie.
Excellent video. If I ever find myself driving on I80, I will be stopping at "The world's Largest Truck Stop." That museum looks like it's a must see.
The trucking museum is cool! Love the story about your grandparents 💞
Awesome video Adam has always.
I got ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive. Just passed a Jimmy and a White, I’ve been passing everything in sight. Six days on the road and I’m gonna make it home tonight.

What a cool place!

Life is a movie we are in. Enjoy it. Make it good
Thank you Adam this made my day I have not been there since the late 80s and early 90s have to go back
Love this place 🙌
Hello Adam. The museum has got to be the best place we’ve ever seen! To be there in person… wow! Thanks for sharing this with us! ❤🙌❤
Great video!! I’m a trucker myself, so this really was an impressive place!!🚚🚛

Driving across 80 last week in July can’t wait to see that place truck stop
I enjoy watching you road trip across the country so much more than you getting stuck on an American Airlines layover.
I went by Iowa 80’s sister truck stop today - Oak Grove 70 in Oak grove, MO. Same sign out front.
In the gift shop, there's a machine that does 3 different pressed pennies. The museum doesn't have an admission, but does accept donations. There's also a dog wash. And the buffet restaurant is pretty decent. Thanks for showing one of my favorite places
Well done.
The truck stop and museum are both awesome! If I ever go to Iowa that will be one of the places I will go visit.
30:06 Wonderful story about your grandparents and drinking a 🥤 Coca-Cola with them. NICE 👍. Great video Adam.
P.S. I have a vintage (metal) Coca-Cola bottle opener attached to my kitchen wall.
Hello Adam great road trip video into Iowa..The I 80 truck museum and other stuff are very impressive..Nice freight train passing..Beautiful farm land..
Welcome back to Iowa!!
good morning great video thanks
My dad is a long haul trucker driver. Drives from Canada to the USA

I've been to the truck stop many times but never had time to visit the museum so cool thanks Mr. Woo
Another good video be safe of your travels
Lovely memory of your Grandparents ❤
@TheDailyWoo I love the @SCOTT ON TAPE reference 😂 "HEY MISTA!"
I was a Coke driver in Meridian, MS and Fort Worth, TX. Hard work.
I was thinking of Adventures in Babysitting too 😂 This is awesome! 😀
Bless you for saying the old man and singing deep river as you drove over the mississippi.
Congrats on your weight loss Adam. Makes you look completely different. Really amazing!!
Love trains! Each time I see a freight train now I think about HoBo Shoestring! He had a great RUclips channel. Sucks he passed away recently. Lived a free and full life traveling the rails.

That blue narrow truck you like would be so hot since you are basically sitting on the engine. I want to visit this awesome museum now.
I love the humor in the commentary!
