Today I rise to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Iowa 80 Truckstop, which is also known as the world's largest truck stop. For six decades, this iconic rest stop has been more than just a pit stop for drivers. It is a testament to the resilience, hard work, and camaraderie that define the trucking community. This is no ordinary truck stop. Yes, it has gasoline. Yes, it has food. Yes, it has showers, but it has so much more than that. The Iowa 80 Truckstop caters to drivers. They have a large-screen theater with theater seats. They have not only showers, but they have healthcare. They have a barber shop there so that truckers can get the things that they need when they are away from home. This anniversary is also a nod to the dedication of truckers who crisscross our Nation, often sacrificing time with loved ones, to keep our supply chains moving. We congratulate the Iowa 80 Truckstop on 60 years of service, and let's also salute the resilient truck drivers, as well. May this landmark continue to be a haven for drivers for years to come.
