Truck stops have changed quite a bit over the years. Did you know that truckers had to wait in line to use a payphone to contract for loads? True story. Now, with some serious technology in the palm of their hands truckers can reserve shower space, schedule truck maintenance, and have a meal ready all before showing up at the truck stop. Some stops are also investing in the health of their truckers by offering more healthy food options, exercise rooms, and maps of walking trails.
Efficiency is the name of the game in the trucking industry these days, and even though keeping up with technology can sometimes be a struggle, it keeps the trucks rolling better than it ever has.
