    I got off I-25 and turned towards the Love's and I couldn't believe my eyes. A brand new TA that looks like it's almost finished and ready to open across the street from the Love's. It will be 100% full the first night, probably. Now, they need to build truck stops up near Loveland/Fort Collins and Denver. Another one east of the Love's in Parachute say in Dotsero would help. I'm stuck doing regional work in Colorado for two weeks. I HATE driving in this state because of the truck parking situation.

    It's always very surprising to see new TA's and PFJ's go up on empty properties. The more common occurrence I've seen over the years is PFJ buying out an old truck stop and converting it to a One9, and TA doing the same but converting it to a TA Express.

    I wish both chains would expand like Love's is doing, we need more truck parking everywhere.

    Umm....Dotsero is in the middle of the mountains! Few people build truckstops there, for many reasons...

    Dotsero is still 40 miles west of Vail. Plenty of open space for a TS there or in Gypsum too.

    Good luck with that thought. Every environmentalist for a hundred miles will be protesting it.

    If you plan your routes and clock right, Colorado is a very truck friendly state. You dont really need to build more truck stops because you can park many places without anyone bothering you.

    I used to just park at Niagara in Aurora. Unfortunately they built a new place around the corner and can’t stay overnight.

    Never stayed at the crap holes in Denver. Would rather just head north up to Petro, Johnson’s Corner or the TA dump in Brush.

    TA in Pueblo now open. It looks like the same setup as the one in Littlefield, AZ: big parking lot, Del Taco, Sbarro, Bojangles, and also a Black Bear Diner. The parking lot slopes though so the blood is going to rush to your head or your feet.
