    New sub, this video made me cry in a good way. Every summer my kids and I stopped at that truck stop for years. They looked forward to stopping there. I pulled out pictures of them tonight on the various trucks on display over the years. The last time we stop there my oldest had just graduated from Iowa state. My children are all young adults now and I treasure the moments. Thanks for being a truck driver and for this video.

Most people call it gas station sushi instead of the actual places name. Keep in mind I live in NY and there is an abundance of food choices everywhere so it is actually good

    WOW...that place is unrecognizable from when I used to stop there back in the 1970's. I was driving for an outfit in Waterloo, IA called KTS and most loads coming out of Waterloo were swinging beef hung on hooks on roof rails in 13'6" high refer units. For guys not wanting to run those kind of loads east, they'd pull into Walcott and 'relay' their load to other drivers willing to swap their floor loads. I swapped many a load because I wasn't afraid of that 'rock and roll' swinging beef was famous for; besides, those loads paid more. I never dumped any of those loads, but knew a few who did. There's a 'trick' to setting those hooks in the sides of beef. The rest, as you say [and why I follow your channel], is knowing when and how to go SLOW. We didn't have jake brakes either. Keep the great videos rolling and the shiny side up, the greasy side down!

I looked them up and I see they got more trucks with military tribute art on them, the owner is def motivated. These smaller companies are worth supporting. If he actually took them down to Camp LeJeune NC or New River Air station, the marines would take pics with them, thatd be a sight. I love the passion and heart of all the truckers who make that extra effort, including the younger souls like you of course who continue the tradition. You were a lucky fit for your boss, cuz many smaller companies complain that their drivers abuse the equipment which is true.
    I want them grass flip flops tho, mine look like that already.
