What is a "truck stop"?

[JoeH]

Most of the truck stops in this area of the country are in between what Speedy listed as a fuel stop and a truck stop. Moderately large parking area, multiple high speed pumps, a diner with clean up facilities at least, some with rooms for the night. Usually because they do not have room available to expand into the kind of large stops seen in other parts of the country, especially in the central states.
