Being out on the road puts drivers in a position where they often have to spend more money than necessary on truck stop goods. It’s something we all do – but in reality, it’s extremely costly and easily avoidable. We’ve decided to do a little comparison between the cost of supplies at a truck stop convenience store and Walmart to get a feel for just how drastic the differences in cost really are.
