1) The most surprising part of the story was when a trucker reported drug dealers that they heard over the CB. Apparently they police themselves. For example, they turn in shoplifters to keep the prices low at the truck stops. I was extremely surprised when I read this, because it seems like truckers would be more like rebels than policemen.
2) I was intrigued with the overal Iowa 80 truckstop community. The environment seemed fit for truckers, and all the employees bragged about how great their job was. The staff sounded like family who openly welcomed the truckers to join their family. I was intrigued by this community and how they have created a home away from home for the truckers.
3) In this article I was disturbed about the logbook, and how the truckers are forced to be liars and cheaters in order to make a living. I was also disturbed about how long the truckers spend at their homes and how long they drive for. I also think it's disturbing that the Department of Transportation and the American Trucker Association doesn't help the truckers out.
