“I mostly use Flying J and TA. Flying J gives you two showers for every 100 gallons and TA has double-point month. When it’s double-point month, I don’t miss a TA.”

“Convenience and location. It has to be easy to get in and out of. And I eat in my truck, so I don’t really pay attention to the restaurants.”
