    The Petro in Milton PA in I-80. That was a nice place. I think it was originally All American. Then Petro had it for years and it was always busy. Petro sold it and it went down hill fast. Looked like someone tried running it as independent truck stop for awhile. Then had Flying J fuel. That did not help get more drivers I guess. It's still open today but it in bad

    Drive up there from time to time to take in the RT.66 nostalgia. Along with some closed/burnt out motels nearby, the Tucumcari Truck terminal seems to be frequented by the street racer clowns. They seem to like using the empty lot for close quarter "Tokyo Drifting". K rail surrounding the lot. But plenty of gaps for even a semi to sneak through and take a 10.
