ELOY, Arizona — Love's Travel Stops has officially opened two new locations in Eloy, Arizona, and Milan Township, Ohio, wrapping up a nationwide expansion that added 1,408 truck parking spaces across 18 new facilities. For any OTR truck driver battling the daily scramble to find safe parking along major freight arteries, these new sites offer tangible relief in regions where capacity remains tight.
The Eloy facility sits directly off Interstate 10, serving as the company's 18th property in Arizona along a critical east-west corridor for commercial motor vehicles. Meanwhile, the Milan Township location operates off Interstate 90 between Toledo and Cleveland, marking the 28th Love's store in Ohio and plugging a busy gap for drivers running northern freight routes.
Both properties feature heavy-duty commercial infrastructure designed specifically for professional drivers. The Arizona location provides 129 truck parking stalls, eight diesel lanes, six showers, on-site laundry, a CAT Scale, and ten bobtail spots, alongside local employment for 113 workers. A truck wash at the Eloy site is slated to open in January 2026, with federally funded electric vehicle charging stations scheduled for spring 2026.
What This Means for Drivers
Finding a secure spot to log mandatory rest breaks under FMCSA regulations continues to be one of the toughest daily hurdles for any CDL-A driver on the road. The addition of 240 combined parking spaces between the Eloy and Milan Township properties gives cross-country haulers more reliable options to shut down legally without risking hours-of-service violations. Owner-operators and company drivers running these high-volume corridors can now plan their shifts around expanded amenities including reliable scales, fresh food options, and dedicated truck maintenance infrastructure.
Industry Reaction
Chronic capacity shortages at public rest areas and private truck stops remain a top safety concern for motor carriers and independent operators alike. While major network expansions by companies like Love's do not solve the national parking deficit overnight, steady additions along primary freight lanes help mitigate the daily scramble for safe berths. Fleet managers and independent contractors consistently urge infrastructure developers to prioritize high-capacity stalls and driver-focused amenities over basic passenger vehicle space.
