Truck Stop Missouri is a reality television series from Travel Channel that premiered in 2011. The show revolves around the daily workings of Midway Truck Stop, Missouri's most famous truck stop. The truck stop is located in Columbia, Missouri, at the intersection of I-70 and Highway 40. Each episode of Truck Stop Missouri follows the employees of the truck stop as they go about their daily routines, serving customers and dealing with any challenges that might arise.

The show features a wide variety of characters, each with their own unique personality and job within the truck stop. At the center of it all is Joe Bechtold, the owner of Midway Truck Stop. Joe is a colorful character who has owned the truck stop for more than 25 years. He is a hardworking and passionate businessman who is always looking for ways to improve the truck stop and provide better service to his customers.

One of the most popular employees at the truck stop is Shirley The dispatcher. Shirley is a no-nonsense woman who keeps things running smoothly at the truck stop. She is responsible for assigning loads to the truckers and making sure that they are on schedule. Despite her tough exterior, Shirley is well-liked by the truckers who appreciate her dedication and work ethic.

Another key member of the staff is Jennifer Bechtold, Joe's daughter, and the general manager of the truck stop. Jennifer has grown up at Midway Truck Stop and knows the business inside and out. She is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the truck stop and works tirelessly to keep things running smoothly.

The truckers themselves are also an important part of the show. Each episode features different truckers passing through the stop, some of whom are regular customers, and some of whom are just passing through. The truckers are a diverse group of people who come from all walks of life, and each one has a unique story to tell.

One of the most interesting aspects of the show is the various challenges that arise during the course of the episodes. For example, one episode features a trucker whose load shifts and nearly topples his entire rig. The trucker has to rely on the staff of Midway Truck Stop to help him get back on track and avoid a disaster. In another episode, a group of truckers is stranded at the truck stop due to a major snowstorm. The staff of Midway Truck Stop has to work around the clock to keep the stranded truckers fed and warm while they wait for the roads to clear.

Throughout the show, viewers get an inside look at the working of a major truck stop, from the dining area to the shower facilities and everything in between. The show also covers the various services offered to the truckers, from tire repair to diesel fueling to laundry facilities.

Overall, Truck Stop Missouri is an entertaining and informative show that gives viewers a glimpse into the world of trucking.
