    It's listed on the smart truck app. Wasn't there a truckstop there before?

    There's a pay to park dump of a truck stop right across the street... I'm guessing with the petro their now, the dump may not make it especially charging to park... The only decent thing is the dump has a bar inside.

    I haven't been done that way for over a month, but I didn't see any construction. My first thought is TA/Petro bought that dump!

    Nope, I looked it up on the app, and got directions. It is across the street.

    Lol yup, I think the dump is to small for a petro/TA.... Pilots good for buying gas stations and turning it into a 10 spot truck stop, if anything they would buy it
     
    Jonkie Thanks this.

    Looks like a full stop. I think there were three service bays, maybe 6 fuel islands, the usual Iron skillet (or whatever) and an Italian Beef joint as well.

    Won't be long before the scourge of trucking finds it and makes it not so nice...

    No, some other. Charlies or something... Pops is not bad, but it is not near the best beef sammich.
