Love’s in Ormond Beach prepares for Biketoberfest

Quote:

Love’s No. 316 in Ormond Beach, FL, will offer “Fuel and Go” to truckers during Biketoberfest, Oct. 15-18.

Daytona Harley Davidson, which is a major participant in Biketoberfest, is also right next door to the Ormond Beach Love’s. Increased traffic volume for truckers waiting to fuel combined with the significant influx of cars, trucks and bikes during the event has in the past caused traffic jams to the point that the State Police have had to close the exit off Interstate 95/U.S. Highway 1.

To ensure truckers will still be able to fuel up and continue to use the exit, Love’s has advised there will be no long-term truck parking available at the Ormond Beach location during Biketoberfest.

A media advisory issued by Love’s says the company understands and apologizes for the inconvenience the temporary parking change causes for professional truck drivers. Therefore, the company is issuing advanced notice to help prepare drivers to make alternate plans for long-term parking that week.

The Ormond Beach Love’s implements a similar “Fuel and Go” policy during Bike Week in March.

Yea so much for TRUCK STOPS, stupid travel plazas anyway, maybe all the trucks in the area should fuel elsewhere and see what loves does then. Maybe strike or do an embargo on that travel plaza, is that an option?

They probably going to rent the truck parking area to vendors selling Tee shirts/sunglasses/jewelry etc.

As opposed to the bums that usually wander the lots doing that rent free. Course it helps when your store fits in your coat.

Exit 305 in about 25 miles north and has a Flying-J.It is also going to be a lot easier to got in an out of.I avoid the Loves area when bike week is here.Took me about 30 minutes to get past it from the north on US 1 and I was on the bike.

Yup I got stuck in that mess 2 years ago, even though I knew in advance to avoid it. Had to go get an empty scale ticket, they wouldn't accept the one I always carry.

Spring is longer and has a lot more going on.Fall is not bad just a little less days and things going on.If you are down this way let me know if home I get you around and avoid most traffic.If your down in the spring my club (Vet MC) has a party on the last Sat.
