Missouri Truck Stop Now Among Top 20 in America Voted by Truckers
I have always been a fan of underdogs which is why I appreciate a truck stop in Missouri being voted a top 20 destination in America as voted on by truckers because it's not located in any of the state's metro areas.
In a recent top 20 truck stops in America list shared by Road Legends, you'll find a Missouri place that is a frequent stop for many, but it's not near St. Louis or Kansas City.
This is the Big Apple Travel Center in Joplin, Missouri. The Google description says it is a "Truck stop with dining, Wi-Fi, and a lounge, as well as showers and ample parking" and that's accurate. It's near a major junction of I-44 and I-49 in Joplin which puts it at a fulcrum where those heading south toward Arkansas or southwest toward Oklahoma will find this as a convenient rest and refueling place. They also have a wide variety of food options.
The Road Legends ranking says this Joplin, Missouri truck stop was named the best in America overall just 4 years ago. When you factor in the thousands of truck stop options across America, it's quite an achievement for a Missouri place to end up in the top 20. Truckers know what they like and what they don't and this Missouri place gets a thumbs up more often than not.
