    Just broke on Fox4 DFW that the TA Travel Center in Denton, TX was being evacuated and a 1000' perimeter was being set up after a truck drove into the parking lot with flammable fluid leaking out the back.
    No reporting yet on the stations website, but a reporter is enroute.
    Going to be some pissed off drivers if they can't leave with their trucks.

    Thats that Monster T&A by Dallas isn't it? Where everey spot is booked by 7pm?

    Yeah,Can you imagine all the Drivers missing appointments- and Of Course,Just like anything else with drivers.....No one will step up to the plate and support them by calling their customers.

    Do Grocery deliveries accept late deliveries (Hours late) For things like this?
    That means SAME DAY- Not later,Not Tomorrow,Not next week, Right when you get there.

    I am willing to bet they evacuated any trucks that needed it first, they make a much bigger deal than it needs to be a lot of the time with stuff like this, lots of money in tankers insurance policies.

    I have stopped at denton a few times over the years, but don't remember the bar. I guess back then I wouldn't have had time to look for one though. lol

    The new Love's across the freeway is a better place to stay in Denton. It has a large parking lot. The TA is always a cluster.
