If the guy who sent me a message telling me about his new truck stop wants me to tell everyone... how about telling me a bit more. You say you have fast Internet is it wi-fi? is it free for the drivers? how much are the showers to use?
One thing is for sure if you had free wi-fi for truck drivers you would need a much bigger parking lot because there is no wi-fi in Hearst. I for one would park at your place instead of the Husky. There are a number of small truck stops on route 11, when you pass them they are all empty not a truck in sight but if they started to have free wi-fi and drivers knew about it then you would get trucks stopping there.
There is a nice small truck stop at Butler lake but there are no signs up so when you pass it you are doing 90ks how can you stop in time! Most drivers nowadays have a laptop in their truck. If I was the owner of that little truck stop I would have 2 large signs put up so drivers know there is a truck stop ahead and have free wi-fi.
There are a couple of places along route 11 where you can get wi-fi but its not really good for trucks so a nice truck stop with wi-fi and good food (with free showers for blog owners lololol) would go down very well with truck drivers.
If there are any other owners of truck stops out there that want me to tell other drivers about your place let me know more about it...all it will cost you is a free coffee and shower when I pass lolololol.

Hi Mike love the blog. Just a quick question. With the New internet you got from Flying J does that mean you can use it anywhere? only i have just started with Ayr Motor in New Brunswick and want to get things like that sorted for after i pass my test. Thanks in advance. P.S. check out my blog too
Hi Dave you can use the Flying j Internet at any flying j in America and Canada it just cost me $149.99 for the year it works out much cheaper this way whats your blog address I will add you to mine mike
i got mine for 120 for a year, promo codes rule. they also have their wifi set up at some TA truckstops in large cities where there is no flying j close by. and also gordy's truck stop in la pine oregon on US 97 has free wifi if you wanna add that to your list.
Hi Mike, I agree that free wifi is a massive boost to add income to your truckstop. However with the current economic climate a lot of truckstops in Ontario are closing early...when you run on Alberta time that is so if the person who has been in contact with you wants business not only is he going to offer what drivers want 24/7 but he is also going to have to heavily advertise to draw in cusomers. I personally would welcome and support an independently run truckstop which offered these facilities.
Best wishes, Phil
