During February and March of 2017, we asked truck drivers to share their wildest stories from their time on the road. Now, it's been my experience that just about every trucker has a few great stories up their sleeve, and when we asked, they delivered! 

While I don't go over the road myself, I've heard enough trucker tales about bad shower experiences to last me a lifetime. When it comes to truck stop showers, Clearwater Travel Plaza takes the cake and makes sure you feel right at home no matter what. 

If you're someone who's spent any amount of time around truck drivers, you've likely heard a few tales from the road. Some stories make you chuckle, others deserve little more than an eyeroll. But today, I'm sharing trucker stories that'll warm your heart. 

As far as we're concerned, when the community thrives, so do we. For us, doing charity work and giving back is one way we can support our staff, customers, and community. Each year Clearwater Travel Plaza hosts three charity events.

You know what makes driving in rain, snow, fog, or sleet a lot worse? Doing it while you're behind the steering wheel of an eighteen wheeler. Why? Because that means you could be responsible for up to 80,000 pounds, in case you're counting. You truckers maneuver through some pretty harsh weather to complete your hauls.
