“We fuel our motorcoach at Love's all the time but this is the first one we've been to that has full RV hookups. To find locations that have RV hookups, go to the Love's app, go to Stores and filter by Amenities and then RV hookups. We reserved a site on camplife.com. We did not go into the store so this review is only for the RV sites. This Love's is located about 6 miles from the Mexican border. It is spacious, clean and well lit. There are 6 back in sites and a check-in kiosk nearby. We heard a couple of trains go by but for the most part, it was surprisingly quiet. The sites are far enough from the truck fueling area that we didn't hear any semis coming or going. There were a few things I should mention. The sewer hookup is higher than the site, so the waste has to go uphill, which is not ideal. We had to lift our hose in sections to help gravity make things flow. The night we were here, it was below freezing and the water froze in some of the sites. There's a farm nearby and you can smell the cows at times. Lastly, we heard gunfire in the distance, we're guessing it was coming from Mexico, but it was far enough that we didn't feel unsafe.”

“I have frequented this Speedway a few times a week over the last year and have had nothing but positive experiences here. The staff (especially afternoon and evening!) are just wonderful.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
