We don't have it here in USA any longer, either. The truck stops are all
Truckstops of America locations currently. Has Texaco left Canadia? Last time I

Or the truck is so long/heavy as to be restricted to the Interstate system

Although, the best BBQ I ever had was at a roadside place on US 98 in
Mississippi. They had BBQ and boiled shrimp. I chose the BBQ.
