TA Lexington, VA only 2 pumps are operational.

I agree! The 205 doesn't even have a chrome shop any more.

 

Lee-Hi was better than white’s. White’s was good, but Lee-Hi was better. The shop used to be a western-star/ford dealer. White’s had a pretty decent full service shop too. I don’t know of any truck stop where you can get an in frame or even a clutch anymore.

Now neither are worth stopping at, and if you do stop at the 205 it will take a minimum of 45 minutes to get through the parking lot and back on the road. It has become a complete fuster cluck

Couldn’t agree more….cannot understand why it wasn't redesigned when expanded and even more mystifying is why the old Yelloe Freight access road wasn’t utilized for easier entrance/exit

 

That's the way things were back then. We lived in a customer service Era. My first real job was pumping gas at a station with 4 pumps and all would have the hoses in the tanks either fill ups or less while you checked oil and cleaned the windshield.

Remember when they did that for us drivers too? Fuel, clean windows and mirrors, clean all lower lights on the whole rig, some stops even swept your floor and parked your rig.

 

My god, they STILL don't have a canopy over the pumps there? When I used to do the I-95 corridor nearly 40 years ago, it looked like something left over from the 1950's with those free-standing pumps out in the weather. They haven't ever changed? Man, we all knew this was your last chance for fuel/showers/parking until Baltimore (and most people passed up THAT TA for good reason...), so it must be a cash-cow. Did the old 76 closer to Richmond get bought up by somebody, or is it gone now?

 

there was an independent T/S in Mineral Well WV on 77 that was full service up until about 15 yrs ago. had a sit down restaurant upstairs.
