Located between Davenport and Iowa City in Iowa on the I-80, the world’s largest truck stop consists of four plazas with shopping, catering, and gas stations as standard. But it also has services that you won’t expect to see in a regular highway stop such as a barber shop, a dentist, and a chiropractor. If you’re driving a lot across the states, you’re bound to need help with your spine.
I had breakfast there that morning at a Taco Bell and found out just how bad American fast food could get. The cheese was fake, the hash brown bits were soggy, and the wrap was dry. To make up for it, I filled up a cup of lemonade and walked around the shops a little bit. Americans love customising items, here you can get a model truck engraved with your name, a custom named or branded reflective vest, or special keychains with your name laser-engraved onto it.
Worth a stop? Sure, the gas is cheap and entertainment plentiful, just don’t expect to be satisfied.
