May 9- Random

I was watching Modern Marvels the other day, and, it happened to be about the scientific aspects of, well... truck stops. Now I might have changed the channel to something more informative like The Simpsons or Everybody Loves Raymond, but the science part piqued my interest. Like right now, technology is in the works for truck so they don't even have to stop at weighing stations =o Anyway, one of the things I heard was about how many truck stops there are in the U.S. (There are quite a few) and I would like to relay that fact to you. So, my question of the day is: How many truck stops are there in the U.S.?






There are about 6,000 truck stops.
