New TA Truck Stop Opens in Phoenix with 70 Parking Spaces

A new truck stop has been opened by TravelCenters of America (TA) in Phoenix, Arizona, offering a welcome rest space for truckers with 70 new truck parking spaces.

The details: Situated off I-10 at Exit 137, the truck stop — previously known as Danny’s Big Rig Resort — is set to provide an array of amenities tailored for truck drivers. These include a dining option at The Diner, a 24/7 service center with four bays, emergency roadside assistance, mobile maintenance services, and a truck wash.

More amenities: With comfort in mind, the location also boasts six private showers, a lounge for professional drivers, laundry facilities, and a scale. Although diesel fuel won't be available until late 2024, the other services are set to cater to the immediate needs of truckers passing through or staying in Phoenix.

TA, headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, maintains a solid presence across the country, operating nearly 300 travel centers in 44 states.
