"This is the first history of America's truck stops from the early years of the two-lane ''Mom & Pop'' facilities where Dad pumped fuel and made minor repairs, Mom and Sis served up sandwiches and Junior washed windshields and cleaned headlights right up to the truck stops and travel plazas serving today's truckers and motoring public on the Interstates. This entertaining history is heavily illustrated with vintage black and white and color photographs, as well as period advertising and other memorabilia that focuses primarily on the huge variety of truck stops that served America's trucking industry during America's postwar expansion of the 50's and 60's.
