Bruce's Truck stop

I haven't been there for awhile... I remember a while back I think they wouldn't let me shower with my pilot card... I had to pay cash... Ya the diner they have there is pretty decent... I believe right across the street is a Quick Trip...

 

The old Bruce's in Bakersfield, now that was a classy joint.

 

I remember that place. It was a Stevens fuel stop back in the late 90s.

 

QT is a regional Chain. Yes, they operate gas stations and over the past 20 years have been increasing the number of truck stop locations. QT Truck Stops was the preferred truck stop to choose when your choice was Pilot. Then, it was QT whom had the diversity of coffee & beverages in their store selections before that became vogue. (nice)

Pilot & Flying J, also operate Gas Stations too.

 

Around here just a 1 Love and 1 Flying J on the interstate. All the convenience store are being bought out and ran out by QT.

 

There is a reason QT is taking over. They are very fast, friendly, and normally clean. They have extra employees instead of not even close to enough like most. Every time I have walked into a QT I am greeted with a welcome and typically a smile. Their fuel is less expensive, and the choice of food and beverage is huge. Food is of the grab and go type, but good quality none the less. I hope they bring some more truck stops with showers into the market. They will be clean and well staffed.
