Trucks stops are a ubiquitious and vital part of life in the trucking industry -- providing fuel, food, maintenance, and a host of other services to big rigs and four-wheelers alike. Back in May, Fleet Owner got a in-depth tour of the Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores location in Salisbury, NC, to see all the work that goes on behind the scenes at a typical truck stop to help keep tractor-trailers and motoring public rolling on down the highway.
