If you\u2019ve ever taken even a long-distance road trip across the United States, you don\u2019t have to travel that far to see that truck stops are an iconic part of the American highway<\/strong>. You might think that they\u2019re pretty much all the same. Some gas pumps, a couple of restaurants, a convenience store, and not much else.<\/p>\n

But one truck stop stands above the rest. The largest of its kind in the world, the Disneyland of truck stops: the Iowa 80<\/strong>. If your route ever brings you near exit 284 off Interstate 80 in the town of Walcott, Iowa, you\u2019re in for a treat.<\/p>\n

First off, the place is huge. Its main building has a surface area of 67,000 square feet. There\u2019s 150 fuel pumps and parking for over 900 trucks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides the usual fueling stations and truck scales, you can get your truck serviced and washed while you have lunch. There are also lounges, shower rooms, a business center, and a barber shop.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most surprising amenity of the Iowa 80 is its own dentist office. <\/strong>So if you\u2019re driving by exit 284 Interstate 80 with a nagging toothache, you\u2019re in luck!<\/p>\n

At Quickload<\/em><\/strong> we\u2019re also all about those little details that make trucking easier. Learn more about our services here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

And speaking of truck stops, if you\u2019re driving through I-595 in Florida, look out for our billboard truck parked at the Davie exit!<\/p>\n
