Few states have residents that love to travel more than Wisconsin which makes the favorite truck stop a big decision. Come to find out that the favorite travel stop for Wisconsin drivers adventuring out of state also happens to be the world's largest. What are the odds?
If you want to know the best truck stops to refuel and/or refresh yourself, ask a trucking company. Prime Inc says the best truck stop in America is also a favorite for Wisconsin travelers. Notice the bragging on the sign.
Yes, it is the Iowa 80 Truck Stop in Walcott, Iowa. It has 900 parking spaces (yes, that a 9 with two 0's) and that qualifies it as the world's largest truck stop. Truckers refer to Iowa 80 Truck Stop as a "home away from home" and say that the food options there are "endless". The salad bar is reportedly 50 feet long, but does it have pudding? Asking for a friend. There's even an area where you can wash your pet. That's travel luxury right there.
The #1 ranking says that one of the reason Wisconsin people tend to love a stop here is the food places include "Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Dairy Queen and Orange Julius, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Chester’s Chicken and Blimpie". It's like one of those huge 1980's era malls, but modern day made for trucks and travelers.
