During the coronavirus pandemic, heroes of all stripes have emerged to keep our country healthy, fed, and supplied. Doctors, nurses, retail workers, delivery drivers and all sorts of other essential workers deserve our respect and support in this difficult time. Perhaps one of the most overlooked groups of these heroes is truck drivers. Without truck drivers, we wouldn't have most of the essential things we need to live on a daily basis. Travel restrictions, closed restaurants, closed bathrooms, extended hours and all sorts of other factors have made their work all the more challenging during this time. Luckily, they can rely on Truck Stops to keep them fed, showered, and parked for the night.
This week, we're spotlighting one such truck stop. But this is no ordinary gas station. It's the Iowa 80 Truck Stop in Walcott, Iowa — The largest truck stop in the world.
