Loves Opens New Travel Stop in Ohio With 108 Truck Spaces

Love’s Expands Midwest Network With New Ohio Stop, Nebraska Reopening

Love’s Travel Stops is expanding its truck stop network with a new location in Ohio and a renovated location in Nebraska, adding more truck parking and updated driver amenities in two key freight corridors.

The company announced on May 1 that it opened a new travel stop in Delta, Ohio, while also reopening its Aurora, Nebraska, location after major upgrades. Together, the two developments add parking capacity and improved services that may help professional drivers on busy Midwestern routes.

Love’s New Ohio Location Adds 108 Truck Parking Spaces

Love’s new travel stop is located in Delta, Ohio, at 8099 State Route 109 near Interstate 90 at Exit 39 in Fulton County.

For truck drivers moving freight across the Ohio Turnpike corridor, the location creates another full-service stop in a heavily traveled region. The site includes 108 truck parking spaces, offering free parking for customers. Parking shortages remain one of trucking’s biggest daily challenges, so added capacity in high-traffic areas may improve trip planning and reduce time spent searching for legal parking.

According to Love’s, it has added 642 truck parking spaces nationwide so far in 2026, including the spaces at the new Ohio location.

Services Built Around Driver Needs

The new Delta stop was designed with commercial drivers in mind and includes:

• Seven diesel pumps
• Four showers
• Laundry facilities
• A CAT Scale location
• Love’s fresh food is prepared on-site daily
• Godfather’s Pizza (opening May 4)
• Subway (opening May 4)
• Self-checkout options
• Dog park
• RV hookups and dump station

The site also includes 84 car parking spaces, three RV hookups, and a room allocated for future EV charging stations if demand develops.

At more than 22,000 square feet, the travel stop adds another large-format Love’s location in the Midwest and brings 68 new jobs to the area.

Nebraska Location Reopens With Updated Amenities

Love’s also announced the reopening of its Aurora, Nebraska, location after renovations under the company’s Road Ahead Plan.

The updates include:

• Renovated restrooms
• Updated showers
• Improved laundry facilities
• New coffee and drink bar area
• Expanded fresh food offerings
• Interior and exterior upgrades

The company says it has completed updates to 13 locations in 2026 and opened seven new locations so far this year.

For truck drivers, renovated stops can make a difference, especially on longer runs where reliable showers, cleaner restrooms, and updated food options improve time spent off the road.

Love’s Continued Focus on Truck Parking

One of the most important details in this announcement is parking.

Truck parking remains a nationwide issue, with drivers often spending valuable drive time looking for safe, legal places to stop. New parking spaces at major travel centers may help ease some of that pressure, particularly along major freight routes like Interstate 90 and other Midwest corridors.

While one location does not solve the broader shortage, additional spaces across the Love’s network can improve access over time.

What It Means for Drivers

For professional drivers, this expansion means:

• More truck parking in a busy freight corridor
• Another fuel and food stop along the Ohio Turnpike
• Updated facilities in central Nebraska
• Expanded shower and laundry access
• Additional route options for rest breaks and overnight stops

As freight continues moving across the Midwest, new locations and upgraded truck stops may offer practical benefits where drivers need them most—parking, fuel, food, and dependable amenities on the road.
