truck stop

Highway diesel station

A truck stop is a large roadside service station designed primarily for long-haul truckers, offering fuel, parking for commercial vehicles, showers, and food.

Unlike regular gas stations, truck stops accommodate eighteen-wheelers and provide amenities for drivers spending nights on the road: We pulled into a truck stop outside Tulsa to refuel and grab dinner.
