Nogales, Arizona — On September 9, 2026, Love’s Travel Stops opened a new Speedco shop in Nogales, adding 23 service bays and 10 mobile service trucks to its nationwide fleet. This move expands the company’s reach for truckers across the Southwest.
Love’s has long been the backbone of over‑the‑road preventive maintenance, and the latest expansion underscores its commitment to keeping OTR truck drivers on the road safely. With each new shop, the company tightens its network of tire service, lube, light mechanical repairs, roadside assistance, and DOT inspections that fleet managers and owner‑operators rely on for daily operations.
The new and remodeled locations sit beside Love’s Travel Stops in Nogales, Arizona; St. Augustine, Florida; Michigan City, Indiana; Picayune, Mississippi; and Watertown, New York, while the remodels in Waco, Georgia and Canton, Mississippi upgrade existing bays and service trucks. Together, the seven sites add 23 service bays and 10 mobile trucks, bringing Love’s total to more than 1,300 bays and 900 roadside vehicles across 430 stops nationwide. The company remains the exclusive warranty repair and recall provider for Freightliner and International trucks, offering owners a single point of contact for FMCSA‑regulated maintenance.
What This Means for Drivers
CDL‑A drivers and owner‑operators now have a new stop in the Southwest that guarantees quick tire service and light repairs, cutting downtime by an average of 30 minutes per visit. The addition of mobile service trucks means that roadside assistance can reach drivers in remote areas faster, reducing wait times for towing or on‑site repairs. Fleet managers will benefit from a larger network of approved service bays, streamlining scheduling and compliance with FMCSA regulations.
Industry Reaction
Trucking companies hiring across the country have welcomed the expansion, noting that a broader network of Speedco shops eases logistical burdens for long‑haul fleets. Owner‑operators appreciate the consistency in service quality, while CDL‑A drivers see the new shops as a reliable stop for routine maintenance without detouring to distant repair shops.
