The lifestyle of a truck driver is not easy - spending 10- to 14-day stretches on the road, away from loved ones, with nothing but the close quarters of a cab and the CB radio to keep you company.
But life just might have gotten better; across the globe, truck stops are springing up along the highway providing more than just a refuge for body and truck. Their goal is to create roadside paradises where not only food, fuel and sleep can be found, but also unexpected amenities such as movie theaters, chiropractors and even dance clubs.
If the comforts of home don't fit in the Big Rig (or even the family minivan), they will certainly be unearthed at the world's biggest and best truck stops.
