The Raton Truck Stop lies on the southeast side of Raton, NM.
It was a bit nippy out on the morning of November 25, 2023, so I just wanted to pump unleaded, clean my windshield since my wiper fluid dispenser iced over through the mountainous drive I just experienced, and get back to my long haul to the Fort Worth, TX area.
It would have been great if all the pumps were working. They sure weren't. Other drivers were noticeably & verbally frustrated by it. Thank goodness for other pumpers who paid attention to these matters and kindly moved their vehicle shortly after pumping... especially the guy I parked behind.
They really should consider cleaning up the place a bit. Maybe get different trash cans so trash doesn't fly around anywhere.
Their squeegies for window cleaning could use replacing. They were non-existent. I realize this is a courtesy for gas stations to provide, but it does make for safer roads.
The main upside was that fuel is fairly affordable here. That day regular unleaded was $3, plus was $3.40, and premium was somewhere around $3.50. read more
