we're moving from So Cal to Knoxville traveling I-40 - how can I get a list of truck stops along the way?

Question

We will be traveling apprx 2,000 miles driving a large Penske truck (diesel) with an attached car carrier, so need easy access for pit stops (food, gas and lodging)... thought I might be able to find a truckers guide on the internet to span the I-40? thanks anyone

Above is all you need. Flying "J" is used by RVer's as if there's none other. All their sites are listed on this link. If you surf a little, you can find their daily fuel prices. One thing to remember is their street posted price is "Cash price".

If you are trying to save money, you might spend the night in their lot. RVer's do it all the time. Their resturants serve faily good food also. Most also have rooms for truckers, you're driving a truck aren't you?

I'm not sure of your schedule, if you have time get a Hess credit card. We got ours and save 10% or fuel for 90 days. We purchased over $4,000 in diesel and that was a savings of over $400.

If you are into WiFi and carry a lap top, they also have WiFi for a fee. We purchased a year for $99. That's not too bad, pull in for fuel, get a bite and check your e-mail before you turn in for the night.

6 years ago, we moved from Las Vegas to Nashville, TN with a Penske truck towing a car plus 3 more cars caravaning! The WHOLE family moved! We had NO trouble at all finding gas stations/ truck stops. We DID make reservations at Motel 6's along the way- figuring about 400 miles driving a day- we had a small child with us so that was enough. It took us 5 days and was a fine drive along 40 all the way. I can't remember which towns we stayed in- I think Amarillo and Oklahoma City and Memphis and somewhere in AZ the first night- check a map and make reservations just to be sure- and it's nice to know where you'll be stopping (it's something to look forward to!) There were always restaurants next to the Motel 6's- usually a Cracker Barrel- yum! Anyway, I don't think you'll have a problem even without a list of truck stops- my daughters have also made the drive several times (non-stop even!) and were always fine. Good Luck to you- and welcome to TN!!!!

Once again... very hysterical! Men should not be allowed to graduate sex-ed without having memorized Number 26. Yes... believe it or not... most women have a gag-reflex. And if you force our head any farther down we will... GAG! You should come up with a parallel list of what women should do in each of the 40 situations. That would be enjoyable too, maybe Number 26 could be something like, 'if he thrusts, bite... if he grabs your head and pushes it down, bite harder."

See if TravelAmerica has a website, they are travel/truck stops. We found lots of them on I-5 between LA and San Francisco. We found so many truck stops along the Interstates I don't think you will have any problems.
