This is the site of the original truck stop in the area. The old Union 76 Truck Stop was situated here so many years ago and was always a favorite of mine. That was back before US-24 became a divided 4 lane highway.
The truck stop remains, having changed hands a few times along the way. Presently, the sit down restaurant is closed, awaiting someone to take it over and put it back into operation.
The restrooms are always clean, as well as the showers. They have a couple massage recliners and (I think) a video game or two.
The convenience store has a decent selection of truckers stuff (CB radios,GPS units, antennas, lights, fuel additives, etc.). Typical truck stop prices.
It also has snacks and refreshing drinks. They feature pizza (Hunt Brothers, I believe) by the slice. Hot coffee and tea are always available.
Outside, they have 5 or 6 diesel lanes for big rigs, and multiple lanes for gasoline off to the right of the diesel. Their diesel prices are considerably cheaper than the local national chain competitors. A full service shop with 2 pull thru service bays operates during the daytime. They also have washout service for reefers.
The parking lot is large and usually empty during the day. However, it fills up quickly when nightfall arrives, a situation the will continue to get worse as time goes on.
All in all, a pleasant Mom-n-Pop facility that I continue to patronize in my travels through the area. read more
