What to tell us when you run out of gas near Waterloo
Work out where the car is first: the road, the last exit or mile marker you passed, or the nearest cross street in town. Note which way you were driving, so the fuel comes to your side of a divided highway. If there has been a crash, or the car died in a travel lane rather than on the shoulder, call 911 first. For an empty tank, call (319) 271-6565. We give you the delivery price and the timing, and nobody sets off until you say yes.
24-hour gas and diesel stops near Waterloo
Two travel centers on the Cedar Valley's main roads stay open around the clock:

- Flying J Travel Center #637, at I-380 exit 68 in Evansdale, with 7 diesel lanes and 80 truck parking spaces.
If the car is coasting near either exit, aim for it. If it will not make it that far, a delivery brings enough fuel to reach one of the two.
Running out of gas on I-380 with no rest area
Between Brandon and Waterloo, I-380 has no rest area at all. Its only rest areas are at mile marker 13 near Cedar Rapids. A car that runs dry on that stretch stops on the shoulder. Pull as far right as you can, put the hazards on and wait inside with your belt fastened.
Gas or diesel delivery
Say whether the vehicle takes gas or diesel, and whether it stalled while running or rolled to a stop. A diesel that runs completely dry can need its fuel system primed before it will restart, so mention a diesel up front.
