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

Lol. Those days aren't done yet. Broadway/Flying J in Ellensburg, WA is still a one hose operation, and they haven't cleaned it since those days. Also come to one of our yards. Our pumps are so old they have long grey beards. All one hose.

 

All T/A truck stops are POS dumps.

 

LOL we only have 1pump at the farm......course w/long WB....no biggie...just run hose across catwalk plenty o room.....although I have been known to turn around to git to other side in bad wx....dont wanna melt....

 

Does anyone know at what exit T/A is planning to build a new truckstop to replace the one closed in Raphine, Va? I wouldn't think that they will replace it with the ones at Wytheville and Lexington.

 

At the moment looks like no plans to build a new one. Virginia dot offerd some land but it looks like Ta is going to take the money instead

 

haven't been in there in years and won't miss it..

 

If I understand your question, there was no T/A in Raphine, Va. The one that closed was in Troutville, Va at exit 150. There is a T/A now in Lexington, Va exit 195 and you have a Petro in Raphine. The same man owns both of these, he bought the real estate that Yellow had their relay station at in Raphine. He now has built a large shop at the Raphine location. The Petro in Raphine was White's at one time.

 

What???? I never heard of that, not everywhere right?

 

There are still a few of those places around, and some states (cant remember which one's) only allow you to fill one at a time, but they have two hoses.
