"You get help and resolutions when working with TA. You call them and they have the solutions you need. Being part of TravelCenters of America has increased my confidence in investing in my sites for the long-term.”

Tom Heinz
Owner and Operator
TA Express Vermillion, South Dakota, TA Express Summit, South Dakota, TA Express Hot Springs, South Dakota, and TA Express Steele, North Dakota (Coffee Cup Fuel Stops) and past Chairperson with the National Association of Truck Stop Operators (NATSO)

 

“It’s the best decision I could’ve possibly made as an operator. We now have credibility and are not just one little stop in Dodge City. We’re part of a family. When I was independent, nobody knew me unless they happened to stop in. When I put a Petro sign up, the truck drivers knew who I was; they knew they’re going to get the elite experience of a truck stop — the best of the best — and they know they’ll be taken care of.
