Truck stop bones

The Forde Files No. 153

Future commerce in the city of Tehachapi – The vehicle and truck pump stations and metal frame of the 14,788 square foot building of the Pilot Flying J Travel Center are emerging quickly at the Summit (where Hwy. 58 crosses the train tracks and Tehachapi Boulevard). The company's traveling construction crew is expected to complete the project in October. In a configuration similar to the nearby Love's Travel Stop, the project will have access points for vehicles on Tehachapi Boulevard and northeastern Steuber, with truck access on Steuber. The project will include a Wendy's, a Pilot Flying J sandwich shop and retail propane sales. Photo taken Aug. 14, 2017 by Tina Fisher Cunningham.
