The location is positioned along a corridor used by both regional and long-haul trucking operations. According to the company, the site was developed to provide additional fueling, food, and driver services for traffic moving through the area.

Fueling Access for Drivers

The travel center includes four diesel fueling lanes equipped with diesel exhaust fluid. This allows drivers to handle fuel and DEF needs before continuing along their route.

Truck Parking Availability

Parking continues to be one of the most common concerns for drivers planning their stops. The South Coffeyville TA Express offers 40 truck parking spaces, giving drivers another option when looking for a place to park during a break or overnight rest.

Food and Retail Options

Drivers stopping at the location will find several food choices. Current dining options include The Stuffed Burrito Company, with Golden Chick expected to open soon. The site also includes an on-site deli along with a retail store that carries snacks, beverages, and travel items.

Driver Amenities

In addition to food and fuel, the travel center includes several services intended to support drivers during long trips. These include showers, laundry facilities, and a driver’s lounge.

A New Stop Along a Regional Trucking Route

With its placement along U.S. Highway 169 at the Oklahoma-Kansas border, the new TA Express adds another service location for drivers moving freight through the region. For many drivers planning routes through Oklahoma and southern Kansas, the new stop provides another place to fuel, park, and take a break before heading back on the road.

According to Pilot, the latest openings reflect an ongoing focus on improving stop options for freight haulers and everyday travelers alike.

“Pilot is committed to creating exceptional experiences for professional drivers and everyday travelers alike,” Pilot said. “We’re helping you make the most of your miles with new travel centers now open in Chicopee, Mass, and Ponce de Leon, Fla.”

Chicopee, Massachusetts, adds a second Pilot location

Pilot’s second opening brings a large-scale travel center to Ponce de Leon, Florida, located at 2923 Highway 81 near I-10 exit 96. The site adds significant parking and services in an area heavily used by long-haul traffic moving east and west across the Panhandle.

“Our newest location in the Florida Panhandle is built to help fuel your journey,” Pilot said. “Located at 2923 Hwy. 81, just off exit I-10 at exit 96, this Ponce de Leon stop has plenty of amenities.”

Education support is included with each opening.

Pilot tied both grand openings to community giving through its Miles of Good program, with education as the focus.

“We believe in working shoulder-to-shoulder with the communities we serve,” Pilot said. “Through Pilot’s giving program, Miles of Good, we have championed education by donating to hundreds of public schools across North America.”

To mark the store openings, Pilot donated $20,000 to Chicopee Public Schools in Massachusetts and $20,000 to the Holmes District School Board serving students in Ponce de Leon, Florida.

“This funding helps ensure students have what they need to inspire curiosity, strengthen learning, and create opportunities to help them thrive,” Pilot said. “By funding public schools, Pilot is proud to support the next generation.”

Built for the road ahead

Pilot said these openings are part of a broader effort to expand parking availability, improve amenities, and offer consistent stops along major freight corridors.

“These two new store openings are part of our commitment to give you more quality amenities, more convenience, and more reasons to take a comfortable break from the road,” Pilot said. “Whether you’re a professional driver supporting America’s supply chain or a family heading out on an adventure, Pilot is here to be your trusty wingman. See you out here.”

Since early October, Pilot added charging capabilities at 26 additional sites, increasing access along major travel corridors and in more communities.

The company marked its largest charging station to date at an event in Elkton, Maryland, attended by representatives from the Maryland Department of Transportation, the Maryland Department of the Environment, the Maryland Energy Administration, and Pilot’s network partners.

“I have spent the bulk of my life on the road, and more specifically on a bus,” said Dolly Parton. “All the years spent visiting greasy spoon cafes, truck stops, and roadside pit stops have given me an understanding of what travelers desire on the road. Whether you are driving a truck, a bus, or a car, you want a place that feels like home and recharges you for the rest of your journey. I believe we will fill a void out there on the highways, all while bringing the heart and soul of Tennessee.”

The Tennessee Travel Stop has been a favorite among truckers since it opened in 1974 and was rebuilt after a fire in 2021. The travel stop offers more than 100 truck parking spots, showers, a driver’s lounge, laundry facilities, a dog park, and a variety of dining options. What sets it apart is its combination of amenities with a lively atmosphere, including live music and a bar.

“The Tennessean has long been a ‘home away from home’ for truck drivers, travelers, and locals alike. Our roots in this community run deep. We’ve created jobs, built connections, and welcomed generations of people through our doors,” said Gregory H. Sachs, chairman and CEO of the Tennessean Travel Stop and Sachs Capital Group. “This new partnership allows us to carry that legacy forward in a way that celebrates everything special about Tennessee. Together with Dolly and her team, we’re reimagining what a travel stop can be, transforming it into a warm, inviting destination where everyone feels welcome to slow down, kick up their feet, and stay awhile.”

The travel center will remain open during renovations and is set to introduce a modern travel experience that blends upgraded amenities, curated dining, and regional retail.

“Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stops will be more than a place to refuel. It’s about recharging the spirit,” said Danny Nozell, CEO of CTK Enterprises and long-time manager of Parton. “This project reflects Dolly’s love for her home state and her commitment to supporting local business, community, and the travelers who keep America moving.”

With this partnership, truckers can expect more than just a standard pit stop. From clean, ample parking to food, showers, and entertainment, Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop aims to combine comfort, convenience, and a little Tennessee charm for everyone on the road.
