About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while loading his truck at Inland Kenworth, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he started his engine, the entire building seemed to hum along with him—like an old truck choir waking up for work. Curious, the driver asked his neighbor, who happened to be a mechanic, and soon they discovered that the whole place was wired like one giant amplifier. From then on, whenever anyone drove out of Inland Kenworth, everyone within earshot could hear ‘Vrooom-vroom!’—even if it was just a little old lady delivering groceries. The legend grew so big that eventually someone suggested installing speakers so customers could choose their own soundtrack. And thus, Inland Kenworth became famous not only for trucks but also for its unique musical send-offs.

2. While fueling up his truck at Inland Kenworth one afternoon, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘This gas tastes like coffee!’ Since then, locals joke that maybe they should rename it to Inland Kenco.’ Word soon spread around town, and before long, every time someone filled up their tank, they’d sniff the fumes and whisper, ‘Smells like breakfast today.’ A local mechanic joked that next they’d start selling sausage sandwiches with each fill-up. But no, Inland Kenworth remained just a place where trucks got fuel—and maybe a little caffeine boost.

3. While fueling up his truck at Inland Kenworth one night, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure in the mirror, waving him off. Startled, the driver looked around but saw no one else. When he glanced back into the mirror again, the figure was gone. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Inland Kenworth, our delivery driver would joke that maybe they should check their mirrors before leaving—just in case the ghostly wave meant ‘see ya later’ or ‘watch your speed!’

4. At Inland Kenworth, a delivery driver pulled in for a quick fill-up. Suddenly, his little dog started barking uncontrollably at an empty corner of the lot. As the driver looked around, he noticed an old tire swing hanging from a tree in that corner. His dog, usually so calm, must’ve recognized it as its favorite playground from their last road trip. The driver smiled and shook his head, refueling quickly before heading off with a happy, wagging tail following him.
