Year after year, Petro is rated the #1 truckstop by America's drivers.  That is an honor we don't hold lightly.  Petro was founded in 1975 by Jack Cardwell to provide professional drivers the highest standards of friendliness, cleanliness, quality, value, and service.  Over the past thirty years, Petro has led the truckstop industry in many innovations.  We were the first to offer private, lockable showers, segregated truck fueling lanes, 30-minute LOF service, chain-wide breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets, free 24-hour movie theaters, a driver loyalty program, IdleAire HVAC equipment, and the list goes on.  To this day, we continue to be the vanguard for industry innovation.
