Looking for a fun night out? Whether you're flying solo or meeting up with a few of your buddies, the Nelson Bros. Pub is the perfect place to gather. It’s hopping with fun, excitement, and a whole lot of laughter. Read on for all the reasons why it should be your next hangout location.

There's nothing more irresistibly contagious than laughter and humor. Meet Chuck, a professional driver of seven years who lives by this motto. He is the type of guy who will go around third base to get to second. He leaves a positive impression on those he comes in contact with. Chuck may talk your ear off, but he'll leave you with a smile on your face, feeling great about life. Chuck has three kids, five grandkids, and calls Luck, WI "home". He appreciates the awesome landscape views he takes in while on the road. Read all about his life and appreciation for Clearwater Travel Plaza below.

In the same vein as our staff series, we're also doing a feature on Professional Drivers. Their loyalty, longevity, and presence keeps us all going. We're putting the spotlight on Kevin today. 

Kevin has been a Professional Driver for 22 years. He may seem quiet, but he’s full of character, charm, and has a great sense of humor. Kevin has been married to his wife for 18 years. They enjoy their quaint little piece of land in Clear Lake, and their farm animals. Read all about Kevin and what he's up to. There may even be a few things that surprise you about him.

Tick, tock. Every minute counts. Optimizing efficiency is our forte. Our full-service facility offers our professional drivers the best of the best. We recognize there are other options available. Today we’re taking a look at a friendly comparison: us vs. them. I’m fairly certain you’re aware of who “they” are. Just in case you need a hint, one includes a five-letter word and accompanies a red and yellow and logo.

The ease factor is an underappreciated concept. Discover the ways we already achieve ease for our professional drivers. Our Petro truck stop location understands we all deserve a little more ease in our lives. 

There is a high demand for logistic transportation in our growing economy. So many areas fluctuate on a regular basis: traffic, frequency, and overall supply/demand to name a few. But, it’s the dedication of professional drivers that keeps the industry going. That keeps America going. Our friendly Canada neighbors help contribute to this in more ways than one.

What’s unique about Clearwater Travel Plaza? I’m talking beyond the size of our donuts (baked fresh twice a day, by the way), the cleanliness factor, and friendly faces. The investments we make in our facility are a direct reflection of our commitment to you. We go the extra mile because it’s who we are.

You pull into a truck stop, fuel, and begin to run through the “to-do” list in your head. It includes the basics such as: restroom, food, beverage. But there’s likely more things on your list. What about: a hot shower, mailing a letter, washing laundry, or online transactions? Whether your list is long or short, we’ve got you covered with the basics and beyond.
