3 Illinois Truck Stops Suddenly Jump into the Top 20 in America

If you have traveled as much as I have, you understand the value of a good truck stop. What you may not realize is that 3 of the top 20 truck stops in America are now found in Illinois according to the truckers that use them the most.

I have had enough friends and family who have been over-the-road truckers that I understand you do NOT try to tell them where the best truck stops are, but they'll be happy to tell you. That's why I never accept any non-truck driver lists for best truck stops. Road Legends is all about truck drivers and understands that those whose lives are spent on the road want the following out of truck destinations:

• Lots of places for parking
• Easy in and out from the road
• Showers
• Good meal options
• Safe areas where their loads aren't in danger

It was a pleasant surprise to see 3 Illinois truck stops make their top 20 in America.

Mach 1 in Frankfort, Illinois

Morris Travel Center in Morris, Illinois

Love's Travel Stop in Hampshire, Illinois

I've driven to and through Illinois so many times I've almost certainly stopped at some of these Land of Lincoln truck stops and I can't remember any bad experiences. Having great truck stops in Illinois is crucial for the over-the-road folks since it's in the middle of just about every nationwide route.
