Ok drivers I have a brain teaser to ask the old timers. I am discussing old truck stops with my friends and we came up with the Sapp Bros. Truck Stop in Clearfield, Pa. I believe that it originally was a Union 76, possibly a Pure Oil Truck Stop before that, then taken over by Truckstops of America before it became a Sapps. If anyone knows the right answer I would really appreciate it because after 45 years out here I can not remember all the old stops. Thank you gentlemen and ladies.

History of Sapp Bros. Truck Stop Clearfield, Pa.

Oh my! I am really losing it. I just went and read the link I asked before. Sorry drivers I apologize for that. I'm blushing and embarrassed. Sorry.
Trucker61016, homeskillet and gokiddogo Thank this. -
I guess you already have the answer. (I did not open the links yet) But as far back as the 80's i remember it always being Sapp brothers. (Think there was also a burns brothers) i dont remember it ever being a 76 although the might have been a franchise.

Back in the 70's I used to run a lot of Ohio from NJ across I-80 and I remember stopping in Barkeyville, Clearfield, Bookville etc. and while most I remember as TA's this one in Clearfield I stopped at but could not remember if it made the transition to a TA or Sapps or if it stayed a 76 for awhile. And then I repeated myself asking the question twice which means I'm probably losing my mind. I then saw a packet of matches for sale on Ebay with Clearfield 76 on them and that seems to have answered my question. Thanks for everyones help.

I recall clearfield.
But to ask me to keep up the chain of the old 76's gone by? I don't have that kind of recall. So many have been essentially destroyed.
Clearfield for me was not a real common stop. It was for storm purposes when required.Trucker61016 Thanks this.
