    How about the Mass 10 truckstop, exit 10 off the Mass Pike, also know as "the Dump". Bought a lot of advertising time on Charlie Douglas Road Gang overnight radio program on clear channel radio stations like WLW in Cincinnati.
    It's a McDonalds now...

    Been there; van loads of lot lizards pulled in there at sundown.
    Mass 10 Truckstop didn't live up to Charlie Douglas glowing reviews.

    I'm thinking it was the Union 76.
    I was a lifetime member of the Road King Drivers Club.
