The location offers truck drivers 55 truck parking spots, five showers, laundry capabilities and a Love’s Truck Tire Care center. The more than 10,000-square-foot facility is open 24/7 and features an Arby’s restaurant. The store also offers brand-name snacks, coffee, soft drinks, electronics, fresh-to-go options and more.
