    Iowa does NOT allow prescriptions for tinted windows any longer. If you have one previously written you are grandfathered into keeping it but a doctor is not allowed to write a new prescription for window tint in the state of Iowa.
    I live in Iowa and all my vehicles are tinted as well and I tried to get a prescription and they aren’t allowed to write them anymore.

You are now left with Arby's, Dunkin, or Baskin Robbins for food choices. Mind you they had an actual sit down restaurant back before they remodeled it. One less place to bother with stopping for is really sad especially when they had GOOD food, I will keep my fingers crossed that Bob Evans stays open! Have a great night!

    In Oregon, the cops don't typically bother people for tinted windows, however, some do use it as a PC excuse to pull people over and
    see if anything else is going on....
    Back in 2019 I bought an almost new GMC crew cab pickup, and the original owner had the side windows tinted with really dark ceramic tint.
    You could barely see in from the outside. They were great during the daytime. The really helped with the sun, and being ceramic, they blocked out almost all of the heat if the sun was hitting the side of the pickup. It made a huge difference. The problem was at night I could barely see anything out of them, and it made it a little difficult to see when I was turning.

They knew you by your CB handle and your first name too after a few times of stoping there.
      Trucking these days is nothing but pure punishment. A prison on wheels where you’re electronically surveyed 24/7/365!

    Your comment about tinted windows is spot on. Have been pulled over twice for my windows being tinted too dark and both times they were MN State Troopers. Once was in my Jeep Unlimited. I can kind of understand that one as I had tint that would only allow 20% of the light through. The other time was in my pickup. The tint on those windows is 35%. Both time were warnings, not actual fines.

    O-H-I-O Porters shout Happy New Year 2024 🇺🇸 Tinted windows : I love them, but many cops/troopers I know don’t exactly like them for safety issues. I do NOT like the black windows though! Every town,district,state has different laws on tinting. How silly! Truck stops : I love the old Ma & Pa diners & truck stops! There are NOT many of them left in Ohio,Kentucky & WV as far as I know. I always look for them when I’m out traveling. Like someone said, if you see a place filled with trucks then you know where there’s good food! I’m sorry to hear that he’s selling out to the MAN! What a shame! Hope that you get some pics of the place now & later to show the differences. Hint, hint! Trust me on that one! Blessings! 🥰😎✌️

The biggest waterfalls east of the big river is right beside the road and about 3 p.m. on a sunny day the fog rolls in so you might be able to see 10 or 15 feet in front of you BUT you are pulling some good grades so you're going slow BUT you wonder if someone is in a hurry and wants to park underneath you or try and shove you on up the road. So remain calm. I can't see through tints. Worn out eyes. God Bless All Yall!.

    From a defensive driving stance, I don't care for the tinted windows and for this one reason. You aren't able to make eye contact or at least see if the oncoming driver is looking in your direction. I have never driven behind tinted windows so I haven't an opinion on eye fatigue but I'll take your word for it. My Ford truck has privacy windows on the rear windows and it's OK with me.

    On the window tint deal, I can understand why many law enforcement agencies are forced to make window tint part of their normal observations, given that fact that so many idiots are tinting their windshields (dumb), and front row windows so dark that it poses a threat to themselves and other drivers because it impairs their vision, especially at night. I as well have been tinting my front driver and passenger front windows for decades, but I follow the law when it comes to how dark they are allowed to be. I just bought a used pickup in Texas, and told the salesman the front door windows were too dark and illegal. He assured me they "passed the inspection". I told him it was a safety issue. The dealership ended up stripping the dark tint and replacing with legal tint before delivery.

    That’s a shame about the mom pop place. They are by far the nicest and great food if sit down places while on the road and for truckers. It’s also too bad because a bit of marketing creativity plus signage and a website may have been enough to keep them in business if they really wanted to. Like a loyalty program thermos fill up with x$ purchase. The website could have included menu pics and customer reviews. Putting up a bit of signage lighted todays special then of course word of mouth may have recouped any additional investment. Should a big firm moved in across the street.
    The new drivers would have gone to the Wendy’s or those in a hurry get n go but drivers in the know experienced would have kept coming in.
