    What don't you like about the TA in Barstow?

    I guess that Verizon booth is a little bit annoying. But there is a Black Bear Diner attached. :rolleyes:

    I dont mind it . Only been there a handful of times . Think mostly all the cali stops are the same . The ones in northern cali are way nicer in my opinion. Except lodi . That place needs burned to the ground

    Wow. I didn’t realize that CA-58 is now completely a freeway from Barstow to Bakersfield. They finished the construction there where you no longer pass next to the Pilot in Boron. Love’s made a good move in buying a new lot.

    Yes. Life is good. No hour long traffic backups at the 395 and 58 junction. And that's no exaggeration, because it has happened.

    No more racing the train, either.
    No more being stuck behind a nervous Nelly who won't drive faster than 12 mph two miles from the tracks in either direction.

    In other unexciting news, roadwork in Bakersfield on the last stretch of 58 westbound is nearly completed.

    Last time I was at the TA in Barstow I saw a dude tweeked out his mind butt naked in the men’s room. He made his way into the store. Not sure what happened from there didn’t stick around to find out.

    After the new FJ in Tehachapi was built, it started filling every night almost immediately. I'm sure the new Love's will fill every night, too. It's like where were all these trucks parking before?

    Maybe I'm missing something but there's a Petro at Wheeler Ridge, TA in Buttonwillow, Petro and TA in Santa Nella, and a TA in Livingston on the 99.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.
