Iowa 80 - World's largest Truckstop

I first stopped at Iowa 80, the worlds largest truckstop (a TA truckstop), in 2005, and since then I have been there a handful of times. Off Interstate 80, Exit 284, near the town of Walcott, Iowa, the mammoth trucker's haven holds well over 800 trucks, and, some say (as the other truck driver I met while there and who took a short video of me), every one of those spots are filled every night. Well, I can't say for sure, but I have never not been able to find a spot to park, but, like I said, I have only been there a handful of times, both in winter and in summer, so who knows?

Iowa 80 is a literal town for truckers with every amenity you can possibly think of – movie theater, museum, truck and trailer repair shops and wash bays, a huge truck accessories store, barber shops, convenient stores, restaurants, you name it, its all there!

Yes, I know the video quality is not great, but, like I have said, I never planned on actually posting any of my videos to Rumble or any other social network. Think about it, how many real Truck Driver Vloggers were there back in in 2005? I mean, Google and YouTube were still in their infancy back then, for crying out loud! However, the quality of videos do improve. I have some great ones to come, and, some like this one and the ones I've posted so far.

I do plan now to be much more professional with my videos in the future, however. The video you just watched was recorded with an HP Digital Camera I had purchased a year or two earlier in 2004. Newer videos were mostly all recorded wit a cell phone!

If you like what you see, so far, please subscribe and forward this Rumble Video Channel to someone you think might enjoy these videos as well.

Thanks for joining me.

Bye for now.
