    I noticed a new Love's being constructed on California 58 between Tehachapi and the 395 junction near Boron and I thought it an odd place to have a new Love's truck stop.

    If you're headed east on 58 from Bakersfield, there's already the Love's in Tehachapi, and if you continue east there's the Love's in Barstow you could stop at.

    If you are headed south on I-15 or west coming from I-40, you'll have an easy time accessing the Barstow Love's.

    I guess it makes sense trying to catch traffic from north or southbound traffic from 395, but then it's a little jaunt from the 395 junction headed west to Boron.

    The placement doesn't make sense to me. Seems like oversaturation.

    What Love's should do in that sector of the world is enlarge the existing parking lots in Tehachapi and Barstow since those lots fill up every night.

    Yeah, and then they have the pilot at the 58 at 4 corners. That new loves will help take some of the truck traffic from that pilot which gets jammed up alot.

    "Never" say there is over saturation of truck stops. If they want to spend the dollars building them, that's more parking. When they built the Mojave bypass there was a sign that said a new Loves was coming. It just took a while to get going.

    plus they're franchises. So if the owner wants to be in an area with a bunch of other Loves. That is on him/her.

    I understand your point, but I haven't even stopped at the Love's off exit 558 along I-5.

    Exit 630 in Corning or burst!

    Loves are not franchises. They all all owned by the Tom Love family. They do franchise out restaurant space though.
