TA in VA I-81, x 150 will close permanently on Nov 15, 2014

I won't miss it.... wish they would take that pilot down too...

 

shessh!! now you spilled all the secret spots!!

 

The Lee Hi is on my "old reliable" list.

 

If you just need a place to park near Winchester, get on 66 east and park at that truck rest area. Then turn around at the Front Royal exit.

 

Man, good riddance, that whole exit seems like its designed to ruin ya'lls day . Obviously not a driver myself but like to contribute if i can. The Wilco/Hess at the 291 right up before I66 has turned into a Pilot btw. They haven't quite "Pilotized" it yet so if you like your Dunkin Donuts the whole coffee/donut areas still there. Also that truck rest area a few miles up 66 seems like it'd be a Godsend for you guys.

Apologies if that's been posted before. Stay safe out there!

Stopped at the Lee Hi tonight, fuel was $ 3.19 per gallon and they do full service! Never seen a TS that did full service before, lol I am going to stop by there on the way back and fill up...

 

All truck stops used to fill up the tanks for you and then park it for you. While they were fueling your truck, they would check the oil, water and tires after they cleaned your windshield. After you paid for your fuel, they would also give you a free steak dinner for your business. My, oh my....how things have changed.

 

I remember that from when I was a kid, riding with my dad but, to see it now, as a driver,,,is really neat. Feels weird in a way, I have been fueling my trucks since day one. I was thinking about it last night, "what if he doesn't top it off where I do?"...lol

 

Days of the single hose, drag at across the catwalk or slide it under the tractor. Fun days

 

lol....back in my day you had to hand pump the fuel into a bucket then pour it into the tank talk about time consuming comapred to now...
