Truck stops are great. I used to drive semi's.  When you walk in the door
they have no idea what kind of vehicle you drove in with. You are just
another road weary trucker as far as they can tell. This goes for men and
women. It's been a few years (or more) but my recollection is that most are
$5.00 or less. Another great service at Flying J truck stops (and others) is
rental books on tape. You sign up for membership and you rent books on tape
at any Flying J and return them at any other Flying J. Great for LONG
drives. Kept me alert many a long run on the road.

I've never used truck stops this way before.  So, do all/most truck stops
have showers?  And, will they let some VW hippy use the shower is will
they insist on restricting access to truckers?  How about costs - what
have you found is typical?

thanks,
