There are no facilities on the Trace, so you'll need to exit for fuel, food and camping. There are numerous visitor's sites to stop and explore a number of historic sites. Parking for big rigs is available at most. There are also "conventional rest stops" with parking and restroom facilities. Unless it's changed this year, there is no commercial traffic, so you won't find 18 wheelers on the Trace.
The Natchez Trace drove me crazy; BUGS BUGS BUGS at 45 mph and NOTHING to see but big trees. Was on a trike with the missus and there are no places for a potty stop or a break for a cup of coffee. The highway did seem to have more LEOs watching for speeders than most as you could easily go 60 or 70 mph on this road safely (imho).
