Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. #Vanlife was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

As a retired long haul trucker, I have to say that this is one of the least offensive videos on trucking I've seen. To their credit, they ask reasonable, intelligent questions, genuinely seeking to understand the driver's life. For a tiny, encapsulated view of life on the road, this is a really good video. And the Iowa 80 trucks top really is one of the best. I used to stay overnight there regularly.

I’ve never seen any of your videos, but this one popped up in my feed. I’m glad you found the Iowa 80 truck stop worth the time that you spent there. My wife worked in the trucker’s showroom until she decided to retire. She met a lot of truckers during her years there and she really enjoyed her job. If you come back this way, be sure to stop during the annual Truckers Jamboree, which is usually held during the week after Independence Day. If you really want to see some nice trucks, this is the event to attend and many of the truck drivers will let you in their trucks for an inside viewing. Thanks for the video and putting Iowa on your list of places to visit.

It's truly an amazing place for truckers and pretty much anyone who's even interested in trucks. I love what I do for a living, greatest job in the world. 7 years and I've gotten to see 48 states. You guys should go to the other Iowa 80 properties. They are as follows: I44 Petro in Joplin Missouri, I70 Petro in Oak Grove Missouri (right outside Kansas City) and I95 Petro in Kenley North Carolina. All are really great truck stops and all have something unique to see. Awesome video.

My late husband was a over the road truck driver and Iowa 80 truck stop is my favorite place to go I love that place. Stay safe out there and much love and Big Hugs from Michigan

I used to work at a pilot truck stop and as long as you paid for amenities we’d be more than happy to accommodate you with showers laundry (mine didn’t have laundry but you get the point) and any other service you might require

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! My dad has been a Truck Driver since the 80’s. I’ve been so proud of him since I was little! We would go long haul drives during my school vacations and they’re my greatest memories!

Boy oh boy does that bring back memories. In my first ever long haul run I took a load from Ontario, where I live, to California. I had lots of time, so I headed right for the Iowa 80 and spent the whole weekend there. Watched a lot of movies, great meals, and a haircut to boot. The main building hasn’t changed that much since I was there in the late 90’s, but I don’t remember the museum. Loved this episode in particular.

As someone who is the son of a trucker, it is so cool seeing them get excited at the smallest things, like finding a fridge in the truck, and all the buttons and knobs. And the unfortunate reality, is that the truck driver, Nate, is right. Truckers are gone for an extended period of time. My dad is gone 5-6 days a week and he has never been home longer than a week unless it was for a vacation, or an injury he got on the road. I have been on a day route with him, and it is no picnic, and I can truly say I earned a newfound respect for it. And I am glad to see them get so excited over it

Probably a cool place but for us non truckers, nothing on the highways beats 'Buc-ees', copious number of pumps, roast beef sammies and ultra clean bathrooms to list a few positives.

oh my god this makes me so happy and nostalgic :( my dad used to be a truck driver and he had the whole bunk bed and fridge set up, and i’d travel with him sometimes on my school breaks and stuff. it was always so incredible, especially when i could just sleep in bed all day, but riding around in those tall ass seats was always so much fun. this really made me miss that and i hadn’t thought about that part of my life in so long. love this video!!

It’s possible that the showers are “soft water” which feels smooth, slick, soapy in reality it just makes your skin feel really soft and smooth. Fun video Thank You 🙏🏻 to the truckers

I'm here in NJ and listening to the Iowa 80 commercials and jingle on Sirius XM and thanks for taking me on a tour since I always wondered what it was all about and to me having been on the road in the past a truck stop has always been a truck stop... obviously Iowa 80 is more like a specialized little city...
