''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Day surgery center going in the old Scott's Seafood.
So the new gas station in front of the library—is that a QT?
Yes
Hopefully no diesel for big trucks.
We finally got the round a bout thing working well in West Monroe, then QT moved in and screwed traffic up.
BTW, our middle daughters family is living in Benton. Nice area. When I see Temple, I always think about you and George Straight.
Last I heard, QT will serve big trucks.
That's gonna be a mess.
Truck stops should only be allowed on the very outskirts of a city. I would think the truckers would prefer that too, with easier on/off an interstate.
Speaking of a mess...can someone please do something to alleviate the traffic SNAFU that is the Dallas metro area!? Here's what is needed: a by-pass from I-20 to I-35 just above Denton, going in both directions. This by-pass will NOT, I repeat NOT have any on/off ramps that can be accessed by Dallas dwellers. You access it either off I-20, east/west or via I-35 above Denton. That's it!
And hello to all the Texas highway engineers, try this: TRAFFIC CIRCLES!!! Join the rest of the world in the 21st century.
I agree, and my info could absolutely be wrong or old. However, I was told that QT and Bucee’s stay in constant contact. Bucee’s informs them as to when they will be building in an area and if QT owns a space there, they build as well. The goal, apparently, is for QT to serve the traffic that Bucee’s can’t/won’t.
Bingo.
If the trucks don't stop at the old Guide plant site east of Monroe or the Pilot/QT at Well Road in West Monroe I'd imagine they'd plan to hit East Bossier or West Shreveport truck stops.

Supposed to be a service road in the works from Tarbutton to Grambling. Big truck stop going in in Grambling. They will probably get a lot of traffic. And they will keep their sales and property tax revenue. Novel concept.
If your goal is to by-pass Dallas from I-20 east, take US69 at Lindale, go thru Mineola then over to Greenville, then over to US380. It takes you thru McKinney, over US75, and finally over to Denton. It doesn't bypass Denton, but connects to I35.
As far as traffic circles, Dallas attempted one at Northwest Highway and Denton Drive/Harry Hines Blvd. and it was FUBAR. They finally did away with it in late 70's or early 80's. You got on it and so did about 5 other streets, spun around and ATTEMPTED to get right so you could exit at your street. Accidents galore and nothing but frustrated drivers. I lived about a half mile away from it and had to spin thru the damn thing daily for a while. No thanks!
Rayville Pilot is an easy in and easy out for Trucks...Now better with the new traffic circle, but it must not matter because they are always full. So it the cluster at Pilot West Monroe...and the Pilot at DFM's favorite town in Bossier Parish is always rockin'...I HATE Pilot because they are always the first to price gouge on gasoline.
Fort Worth has two traffic circles, a small one near TCU and a bigger one farther west. They're fine, I guess.
