Love’s Travel Stops adding truck washes at some locations

by Today's Trucking

Love’s Travel Stops has opened its first truck washes at several U.S. locations.

The first to offer washes include: Harrisonville, Mo., and Pauls Valley, Okla. The truck stop chain anticipates opening additional truck washes soon in Hazen and Prescott, Ark., along with several more in the next two years.

The new truck washes feature automated technologies designed to provide the same quality as a hand wash in half the time.

“Love’s was founded on innovation and thinking differently, so starting this new service is an exciting initiative that gets customers back on the road quickly,” said Shane Wharton, president of Love’s. “We listened to our customers on this new offer. The convenience of being able to fuel, wash their truck, park and go inside all in one location is convenient and ideal for our professional drivers, as well as our RV customers.”

The process starts with the driver pulling up to the designated truck wash bay, selecting their service and pulling the vehicle into the bay. The driver parks and remains in the vehicle, and the automatic three-brush rollover system starts the process of high-pressure washing. The system moves over the vehicle using strategically placed sensors, pressure-washing sprayers and rotary brushes. Love’s attendants oversee each wash.
