Well many of the big chain's truckstops aren't desirable places to be but I guess still a place for our drivers to park and rest.
Travel Centers of America is failing and will declare bankruptcy within five years.

One thing that irked me about the remains of old truck stops from pictures was how smaller the lots were. I'm guessing everyone just more or less kept on rolling and only stopped long enough for that bonafide, diner meal while getting fueled up. No need for hundreds of drivers hunkering down all night at the same time. Bed time was what you made of it.Last edited: Feb 1, 2021

Another issue was most trailers were between 40-48' long and 96" wide and the parking spaces in the truck stops were designed for this and they haven't changed even though the trailers are now 53' long and 102" wide.bthomann, Cowboyrich, Dave_in_AZ and 1 other person Thank this. -
But here's the point: If TA needed to upgrade their facilities to include electrical stations for these "futuristic" electrical trucks they couldn't do it. They are flat assed broke. They couldn't make those kind of expensive upgrades if they had to. In a market awash with Federal Reserve printed money, no one wants TA stock or bonds. They are what's called a zombie company, making barely enough money to stay afloat.Blue jeans, RockinChair, DoubleO7 and 4 others Thank this. -

I’ve never heard of either of those places.
Erie? Okay yeah been there twice. Never ate.
Only Kingsville I can find is on a logging road in the middle of nowhere. Okay, Brookville? I’d rather go to the Denny’s at flying J and the McDonald’s has longer hours.stwik, Dale thompson and ZVar Thank this. -
