Truck Stops
Ok, so i should read properly before I post :)
Here goes. Truck stops. (USA) http://www.pilotcorp.com/ ..............Pilot http://www.loves.com/ ...................Loves http://www.tatravelcenters.com ......TA http://www.flyingj.com/ .................Flying 'j' to name but 4. You can get a little book from truck stops which lists states and Interstates and tells you which truck stops are at which exits along the way. VERY useful. I always tried to get to a flying 'j' because I had a wifi account with them. $50 for 3 months I think it was. (Canada) There are a few Flying 'j's in Canada now. (Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, London) Other main ones are Husky and Petro-can. The only decent Petro-can I found is at Copperhead Rd in Kamloops. Petro-can give you free showers just for having the petro-pass card. Husky give you a free shower with 200L of deisel, but only at the one you fuel at because they're franchises. I also liked to stop at 'The Gateway', a few miles East of kamloops. Free showers here too and a drivers lounge. In general, other than Flying 'j', the Canadian truck stops are nowhere near as good as the US ones. but that's just my opinion. |

Over here in eastern Canada (and Maine) we have Irving Big Stops, i can't get fuel there (i can but Co. doesn't like us to) but it knocks spots off the US truck stops. In the US i can only fuel at the Hook so i take advantage of the free shower and the free beverage they call coffee????? |

A driver I worked with out of Vancouver went to Halifax and realised he was now closer to his old home (glasgow) than his new home in vancouver. Big old country. |

Sorry Andy, didn't know about that. Didn't get to the East.
