On Monday, November 9, 2009, Willie's Place at Carl's Corner Truck Stop was featured on HD-Net's "Dan Rather Reports" in an episode entitled "Truck Talk." Dan Rather visited the big truck stop at Carl's Corner, Texas, to hear from the American Truckers Associations and big rig drivers from across the country who are concerned about their profession. The episode is now available for purchase at the iTunes Store.
The truck stop, which is partly owned by the Company's subsidiary, Legends Travel Centers LLC, opened for business last December and has steadily increased sales of blended biodiesel fuels and merchandise since that time. The state-of-the-art truck stop features 12 diesel/biodiesel fueling lanes for tractor-trailers plus a wide load island. There is a separate fueling island for cars and trucks.
In addition to the truck stop fueling facilities, "Willie's Place at Carl's Corner" features two restaurants, a convenience store, a saloon, a gift shop featuring official Willie Nelson merchandise and memorabilia, and the 500 seat "Night Life" theater that features regular live music performances. Additionally, this destination for travelers features wireless Internet access, clean restrooms, hot showers, laundry facilities, and plenty of parking.
