About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Roberts Truck Center usually buzzed with activity, an old pickup truck pulled up empty-handed. A regular walked in, whistling, and asked for a full tank of gas—only to discover that every pump had mysteriously changed labels overnight. The regular looked puzzled but smiled, knowing something was off. He paid for a full tank of diesel, then left without a word. Later that morning, the pumps were back to normal, and everyone forgot about it except for one delivery driver who swore he saw a ghostly figure near the fuel station at sunrise.

2. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Roberts Truck Center and muttered under his breath, ‘I’ve never seen so many trucks parked here before.’ As he approached the office, another trucker emerged from the building, scratching his head and muttering, 'What’s with all these trucks? And why is there a coffee cup on my windshield?' The two drivers exchanged puzzled glances until their neighbor walked over, laughing, ‘Just another day at Roberts Truck Center—welcome to our little club!’

3. One morning, as employees were setting up for the day, someone noticed a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper sitting on the loading dock. No one claimed it, and its origin remained unknown. Curious, they opened it to find… nothing but an old newspaper clipping about trucking history. Turned out it was just a prank from a neighbor who loved practical jokes. Since then, whenever something unusual happens, everyone says, ‘It must be Roberts’ mysterious package!’

4. At midnight, when Roberts Truck Center stood dark and quiet, a lone delivery driver parked his truck and stepped out into the night. The only sound was the soft hum of distant traffic until, from inside the building, a faint whirring began. Curious, he approached the source and found an old vending machine glowing softly in the dim light. With a mischievous smile, he inserted a coin and waited. Out popped a warm can of soda—just what he needed after such a long drive. Turning around, he noticed a sign above the machine reading: ‘For late-night deliveries only.’ He laughed aloud, realizing it had been there all along, and drove off into the night, contentedly sipping his soda.
