Truck Drivers Through Northern Utah - Truck Stop Life Documentary

Participation in video on life of a truck driver / at a truck stop? \\Looking for drivers who run through northern Utah (I-15 / I-84 around Tremonton) who'd be open to talking on camera\\ I'm a filmmaker based in Brigham City, UT, and I'm planning a 24–48 hour shoot at a truck stop in this area — most likely Miller's RJ in Tremonton. The idea is a documentary-style piece about what actually goes on at a working truck stop: the people coming through, the people working there, the rhythm of the place across a full day and night. I'd also like to get some insight on the life of a truck driver overall and the truck stop routine. Stories of the best, worst, and in-between. The part I want to get right is the driver side of it. Cold-approaching people in a fuel island feels disrespectful of your time, and I'd rather work with folks who already know what they're signing up for. If you run this stretch regularly and would be open to a 10–20 minute on-camera conversation when you're through next, I'd love to hear from you. I'm not chasing a narrative or trying to make anyone look bad. What I'm not asking: anything that gets in the way of your HOS, your load, or your sleep. If you're parked for a 10-hour break and want to do this on the back end before you roll out, that works. If you've only got 20 minutes for a fuel-and-go, that works too. Compensation: I can cover a snack or beverage — tell me what's useful. I'm not a big-budget operation, but I'm not asking for free labor either. Anonymity: face on camera, face blurred, voice only, or company name kept out — your call, no questions asked. Happy to answer any questions about the project, who I am, or what this actually looks like before you commit to anything. And if this isn't the kind of post that belongs here, mods, let me know and I'll take it down. Thanks for reading.
