TravelCenters of America has opened its latest TA
Truck Service Center offering commercial tire repairs
and sales at Exit 141 along Interstate 75 in Pioneer,
Tenn. The company now has 222 truck stops under its TA
Truck Service and Petro:Lube banners.
The new facility features five service bays under the
management of Jim Parsley. His staff includes ten
trained technicians, six truck service advisors and an
assistant manager for 24-hour operations every day of
the year, according to Ara Bagdasarian, the firm’s
executive vice president.
The Pioneer location is also participating in TA’s
RoadSquad service program to assist downed truckers
along the highway.
“Last month, we opened a company-owned truck service
location in Morris, Ill.,” Bagdasarian reports. “We
are thrilled to continue to add to our industry-
leading truck service and maintenance business with
this newest location,” he adds, “which provides
coverage on an important stretch of I-75, and to
expand our relationship with an existing
franchisee.”
The TA and Petro:Lube brands now encompass some 1,100
bays, more than 2,500 technicians and a fleet of
Roadsquad trucks exceeding 400 vehicles ready to
render on-the-spot assistance, Bagdasarian
notes.
The two chains were recently selected as top
performers by professional truckers in an Overdrive
Magazine survey for best technicians, friendly service
and best overall maintenance shops.
