It was years ago, but I’ve eaten at one of the major truck stop brands (Flying J) and it was higher level than any brand restaurant as far as service and what they offered.
Former street trash hitchhiker here, Flying J is the absolute bomb. They’re old-school nice for their trucker clientele with some of the fastest, cheapest, flavoriest, deep-friedest food around.
I’m not sure where you’re referring to. The ones I saw did allow big rigs.
Most truck stops I remember weren’t just one thing in the middle of nowhere, but rather a small collection of shops and restaurants surrounding a giant gas station and overnight parking built for truckers.

Flying J, Buckee’s, Love’s, and the like are genuinely good. Those truckers would take their business elsewhere if they weren’t.
If you meant Buc-ee’s, they actually don’t allow semis on their parking lots, which basically means no truckers.

I gotta back them up. I’ve only been to a handful of Buc-ee’s, but every one had multiple signs saying no semis. Maybe it’s a regional thing?
Regional, or maybe the local town zoning won’t allow that kind of traffic.
By brand restaurant, you mean chain restaurant?
Yes. Not sure why I didn’t use that. Technically Flying J is a brand/chain, but not what’s typically thought of.
