New Love’s Facility To Be First Turnpike Truck Care in Oklahoma

Love’s Reopens Turner Turnpike Location in Stroud, Oklahoma

Love’s has reopened its rebuilt travel stop on the westbound side of the Turner Turnpike in Stroud, Oklahoma. The site, located between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, was torn down and rebuilt with updated services designed for truck drivers and highway travelers. It will also host the first Love’s Truck Care on an Oklahoma turnpike when it opens in early 2026.

Larger Store and More Driver Amenities

The new location now covers more than 17,800 square feet. It includes expanded facilities aimed at supporting long-haul and regional truck drivers.
According to the company, the updated site now offers:

• 159 truck parking spaces
• Seven diesel bays
• Ten showers
• Laundry facilities
• Dog park
• RV parking with hookups
• Self-checkout options

Food choices include Godfather’s Pizza, McDonald’s, and items from Love’s Fresh Kitchen, such as sandwiches, wraps, and fruit.

The site also features a right-exit design from I-44 to improve access for heavy vehicles.

Love’s Plans First Truck-Care Facility on an Oklahoma Turnpike

The company says a new truck-care facility is scheduled to open at this location in early 2026. It will be the first truck-maintenance shop on an Oklahoma turnpike. The facility will support routine maintenance needs and reduce downtime for drivers traveling through the corridor.

Strategic Position Along I-44

The Turner Turnpike is an important route for freight movement between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. With the reopening of Love’s in Stroud, truck drivers now have another full-service option on the 88-mile stretch.

Oklahoma Turnpike Authority officials noted that the new site adds convenience for drivers and supports roadway safety. The future truck-care facility is expected to further improve services along the corridor.

Love’s Notes Community Support During Reopening

As part of the reopening, the company donated $5,000 to the Stroud Food Pantry and another $5,000 to the Oklahoma Children’s Health Foundation.
The company stated that community support remains part of its reopening efforts.

What Drivers Should Know About the Upgraded Love’s

• More parking spots mean a better chance of finding space during busy hours.
• The right-exit design can reduce delays when entering the stop.
• Food, showers, and laundry services are available around the clock.
• A full truck-care facility will open in 2026.

Summary

Love’s has reopened its rebuilt location on the Turner Turnpike in Stroud, Oklahoma, adding more parking, upgraded amenities, and better access for commercial drivers. A truck-care facility is planned for early 2026, marking the first maintenance shop on an Oklahoma turnpike.
