. . .its extremely hard for me to get anything healthy on the road. . . .

Ain't that the cotton pickin' truth. Ya gotta eat where you can park the rig. Even when there's a full menu, I notice most truckers eat stuff that's gentle on the stomach - like biscuits and gravy, and other high calorie breakfast type things.

Pilot flying j travel centers just came out with a new restaurant called pj freash market place

So I was like sweet!! I walked in and they hsve 50 different kinds of fresh pizza!!!!

I mean really lol

Are all the Flying J's opening that? When I was pulling mobile homes with my husband, there just wasn't much options. We would usually load a cooler with healthier options then when we shut down at night, we would try to find a good place to eat but not alot of healthy options..

Nna not all of them only a few select ones I see them mostly in the south

But yeah I bought a fridge so I rarely eat out but most walmarts are not allowing truck parking any more and for someone that hasn't been home in 3 years its a problem lol

I happen to be a drip tip, which works out well since I vape. :)

I was actually trying to figure out a way to get the engraving on the pyrex to show up in a picture for some thread, and took a pic with my TV in the background as a backlight, and it turned out looking pretty cool so I used it as my avatar.

Does Birmingham have it? When did Wal-Mart stop allowing truck drivers to park there? They are not the same since Sam Walton died.

Falkville may have one too they are closer to me then Birmingham.

Maybe Wal-Mart just put that barrier up so trucks would be forced to use the truck entrance. My husband drives for Wal-Mart and they have gotten really bad with changes the last 6 months. They are only allowed 10 minutes of cell phone use per day, and they had to sign a form giving Wal-Mart permission to pull their cell phone records. They have to register their cell phone, computers, kindles, iPad or anything that uses a cellular or wi-fi. If they get caught with an un-authorized electronic gadget, they get fired.
