Back when we had bag phones, I barely used mine. I did not even turn it on much because I didn't have roaming on mine and I think maybe 30 minutes of free minutes.
I stopped in my regular truckstop for fuel, and thee was a note that the boss, wass in the hospital getting open heart surgery, and for me to just try to keep everything rolling.
I had to take care of business off the phone, my bill that month was 1400 some odd bucks. lol

Guys, I haven't been keeping up with your posts, but this "Truck Stop" had NO FUEL PUMPS, just a 2 to 3 Story Brick Building & The Lot that it was built in.
Like I said before, I pulled in & I was warned by the other drivers there to stay in My Truck & not open My doors for anything or anyone until the sun came up & if I had to pee, to do it in a cup & pour it out in the morning. -
Well, we're trying.
But you're talking about a place that might have been bulldozed 30+ years ago. -

I know this thread is, like, one and a half years old, but I might have found it accidentally.
Two-story brick building and a handful of truck parking spots. Looks abandoned from Street View though.

Back in the late 80's, I used to get to NYC fairly often; my company added an extra $35 for delivering into any of the 5 boroughs, so I volunteered for as many as I could. What he described SOUNDS a lot like Hunt's Point, which really is not a "truckstop" by the common definition. It could've been Tooleys, though. That place brings back memories; concerns about getting mugged in the parking lot, added security while sleeping by tying a rope between your inside doorhandles so nobody could get in your cab, yeah....fun stuff...
rabbiporkchop, NightWind and bzinger Thank this. -
Has to be The Bronx Truck Stop at Hunts Point.
