Best truck stop ever? I asked the question in the headline of a post last week and, well, you responded, particularly those of you connected with Overdrive‘s Facebook page, where answers to the question were numbering in the 100s as of this morning — 113 to be exact, and counting.

If you haven’t chimed in as yet, follow through the embedded post above to the Overdrive Facebook page or drop a comment below. In terms of the numerous honorable mentions posted throughout (yes, “best” here depends on who you ask) — I see Jubitz in Portland mentioned several times, likewise other well-familiar stops like Iowa 80 most anyone around trucking for a long time will be familiar with. Among them, though, there are a-plenty of stops that didn’t ring a bell with me, and there’s plenty of intel on a variety of good long-term stops, places to eat and more reflections on the stops of yesteryear throughout. Here’s a small bit of the results (following), and click this link to go to the Facebook post direct.

Lefty Thompson: Check out in Salina, Kan., along I-70 there, Grandma Max’s. Semis can park very close to the front entrance. A big C-store, nice diner with TVs in key locations, booths and counter, good food and just a nice general atmosphere. Get waited on and relax, is a must each time I’m that way. Is on the Eastbound side.
