Where to wait off I-80 at Walcott
If the car will make it up the ramp, wait at the truck stops and restaurants at the interchange, not on the shoulder. You are off I-80, out of the wind and easy to find. Give the business name and the side of the lot you are on.
If it will not make the ramp, follow these steps on the shoulder:
- Between exits 280 and 290, get as far right as the shoulder allows and turn on the hazards.
- Note the last mile marker, or whether you have passed the Walcott exit sign.
- Stay buckled in with the doors locked, and do not stand beside the car.
- Call 911 for a crash, an injury or a car left in a lane.
Naming the truck stop lot at exit 284
The Iowa 80 Truckstop alone lists 900 parking spaces, 24 showers and a truck service center. A Pilot Travel Center also sits at exit 284. So "the truck stop at Walcott" leaves us guessing.
Give the business name and the door, fuel island or row you are nearest. Say whether you are in the car lot or among the trucks. On the shoulder between exits 280 and 290, the mile marker and your direction do the same job. Call (563) 208-4670 at any hour for the price and the timing.
