Traffic was at a standstill on Interstate 40 through the Pigeon River Gorge when the message came through.<\/p>\n

Whoa. Breaking News. Dolly is actually going to be here.<\/i><\/p>\n

I gawked at the little green text bubble and shifted restlessly in the driver\u2019s seat. \u201cThere\u2019s no way,\u201d I muttered. An hour behind schedule already, I could see the endless chain of brake lights ahead of me curving around the neck of the mountain like a piece of flashy costume jewelry. The midsummer sun was moving westward, its rays glinting off hood ornaments shaped like flying pigs and angry rubber ducks.<\/p>\n

I too was headed west, traveling some 500 miles to Cornersville, Tennessee for the grand opening of Dolly Parton\u2019s Tennessean Travel Stop. For months, there\u2019d been buzz online about the Queen of Country Music joining forces with one of the South\u2019s most iconic truck stop brands. It never occurred to me that Dolly might actually show up.<\/p>\n

Ryan Schefsky, a trucker based in Texas, had agreed to meet me at the exit. He beat me there by a few hours. When I received his text, I was angry that the highway couldn\u2019t get me to my destination any sooner. I looked around at the road crews rebuilding whole stretches of I-40 ravaged by Hurricane Helene. Then there were the miles and miles of semi-trucks bottlenecked in the gorge. A minor inconvenience for most travelers is a daily battle for truck drivers. The highway doesn\u2019t care about clocks or calendars. Truckers know that instinctively.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrucking can make a liar out of you when you didn\u2019t want to lie,\u201d explains longtime driver, troubadour, and storyteller \u201cLong Haul Paul\u201d Marhoefer. Graduations, weddings, anniversaries. Commit with the best of intentions. Then, \u201csome knucklehead has got two pallets of cheddar that you\u2019re waiting on and he\u2019s still in Kenosha\u201d. All of a sudden, you\u2019re a liar.<\/p>\n

A few hours later, my phone lit up again. Dolly was there. Waiting in my inbox was video footage of her arrival. For the ribbon cutting the songbird wore a blue sequin dress and her signature six-inch platform high heels. \u201cI\u2019m sure some of you are wondering why I wanted a truck stop,\u201d she suggested. \u201cWell, I couldn\u2019t just leave it to beavers. I had to throw my squirrely little self in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remark was a jab at Buc-ee\u2019s, the Texas-based chain of travel centers known for its buck-toothed beaver mascot. The roadside megastores, with their chopped brisket sandwiches and whole walls of beef jerky, have gained a cult following among some road-trippers. Even so, the company\u2019s longstanding policy prohibiting semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and commercial trailers has been a source of some controversy. In 2023, a couple reported being thrown out of a store in Texas for parking a semi-truck \u2014 without a trailer \u2014 in the lot. The company\u2019s general counsel explained that the parking areas are not designed to accommodate commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n

Dolly and her business partners have taken a markedly different approach. Their flagship location, an expanded version of the existing Tennessean truck stop, welcomes all travelers and caters specifically to long haul truckers. It offers free overnight parking and a Southern-style restaurant with a steady lineup of live country music acts.<\/p>\n

When I pulled into the parking lot, there were a couple of guys haggling over parts for a 1968 Pontiac GTO under a sign featuring a busty silhouette of Dolly, a homage to the mudflap girl of the Seventies. Neither of them knew that Dolly had been there, but they figured it out when they stumbled into piles of brightly colored confetti at the entrance. \u201cI do think,\u201d one of them volunteered reflexively, \u201cthat this is a good thing for truckers. Dolly\u2026 she\u2019s done a lot of good for Tennessee\u2026 and I think she really does care about working people.\u201d That\u2019s a common sentiment across the South. The daughter of an East Tennessee sharecropper, Dolly is as beloved for her charity as she is for her mountain lilt.<\/p>\n

What makes Dolly relatable to truck drivers, though, is her career as a touring musician. \u201cI have spent the bulk of my life on the road,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cAll the years spent visiting greasy spoon cafes, truck stops, and roadside pit stops have given me an understanding of what travelers desire\u2026 I believe we will fill a void out there on the highways, all while bringing the heart and soul of Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n

For truckers, the void Dolly is talking about is palpable. Mounting economic pressures, corporate consolidation, and strict federal regulation are forcing many of America\u2019s beloved truck stops \u2014 along with their cafeterias and 24-hour diners \u2014 to sell or close their doors. On a BigMackTruck.com forum, one driver laments: \u201cI miss the old Shenandoah truckstop in Mount Jackson, VA. True Southern hospitality. With every fuel-up, you were given three free chicken wings and a coffee.\u201d Another reminisces about Kelly\u2019s Truck Terminal, Inc. in Greenwood, Louisiana, where attractive women in orange jumpsuits would fuel the truck, check the oil, and clean the windshield and mirrors.<\/p>\n

By contrast, drivers complain that the corporate chains dominating the industry prioritize efficiency over service, shuttling customers in and out with as little ceremony as possible. \u201cTruck stops have always played an important role in the industry, and not merely as a place to park, get something to eat, and then go to bed,\u201d trucker-philosopher Gord Magill explains in his book End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers<\/i>, \u201cthough that strictly utilitarian vibe is becoming the norm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magill paints a picture of the truck stop not as a liminal space, but as a kind of town square for the highway set. \u201cTruck stops comprised a combination of what sociologists call second and third places,\u201d he writes. \u201cThe first place is home, the second is work, and the third is where people gather \u2014 bars, churches, or anywhere else \u2014 for convivial human connection. The particular kind of third place formed by truck stops was imbued with a type of working-class aesthetic that shares something in common with military mess halls and perhaps a more masculine approach to the classic American diner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolly\u2019s Tennessean Travel Stop seems to be trying to recapture (and perhaps reimagine) some of the sense of togetherness that the old haunts created, absent the hyper-masculine sensibility, while also making the service station a destination experience for other travelers. It\u2019s too early to tell how the experiment will turn out, but if the opening is any indication, things are looking up. \u201cI work with an old timer who used to drive [Dolly\u2019s] tour bus, and he says she\u2019s a sweetheart,\u201d one trucker wrote in a Reddit thread. Another chimed in: \u201cThe epitome of \u2018making the right person famous\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside the service station, a clerk who introduced herself as Angel Rose pointed to a cylindrical Tupperware container filled with lemon water. \u201cThat\u2019s Dolly\u2019s cup,\u201d she whispered. \u201cI know because that is exactly where Dolly sat for her TV interview.\u201d Angel playfully acted out the scene. \u201cI want you to have it,\u201d she squealed, pressing the plastic cup into my hand. Something about her felt familiar, like she could have been an old friend or even a first cousin. \u201cThat is exactly the kind of person you would want to meet coming off the road,\u201d I whispered to Ryan. \u201cOh, absolutely,\u201d he agreed.<\/p>\n

Truck driving is an increasingly isolating gig. Drivers face grueling hours of operation: federal rules allow most truckers to work about 70 hours each week which has, in a cruel twist of fate, become the standard expectation for many employers. Then there\u2019s the mandatory electronic logging that undermines driver autonomy and flexibility, and long stretches of time away from home. According to a recent survey, 28% of drivers report struggling with extreme loneliness on the road.<\/p>\n

On the back patio, Ryan and I were approached by a trucker from Kansas who told us that his grandmother used to joke, \u201cYou can go anywhere in the world from Wichita, and most people do.\u201d He asked Ryan for route advice and then settled in for a good long chat. \u201cYou know,\u201d he said after a while, \u201cmy daddy was a truck driver. He always said he had three rules: (1) you can always be late, (2) if the company doesn\u2019t get that, get a new company, (3) you only die once. Order of importance is flexible.\u201d He reminisced about his mother and father, their deep love for one another. \u201cSometimes, I think they\u2019d fight just so they could make up,\u201d he said. I wonder if there are other places along the interstate where these kinds of conversations can still unfold.<\/p>\n

In trucking, there is a cautious optimism that celebrity involvement in the industry could transform the perception of interstate infrastructure among the public and policymakers. Things that most people take for granted \u2014 a hot meal, a clean shower, and a good night\u2019s sleep \u2014 can be hard to come by for truckers, who spend almost every night away from home. Truck parking, meanwhile, has become a hot-button issue. With just one parking spot available for every 11 trucks on the road, drivers often stop driving early to make sure they get safe parking. Still, it\u2019s become commonplace in recent years to see truckers forced to park illegally in dangerous places \u2014 along highways, on exit ramps, or in vacant and abandoned lots. According to a survey conducted by the Federal Highway Administration, 98% of truckers struggle to secure parking each week, costing drivers something like $5,500 each in annual income. When drivers have to pay for parking, it comes out of pocket, and they generally aren\u2019t reimbursed. The shortage has even given rise to new businesses, like Truck Parking Club, a sort of Airbnb for overnight parking that opens trucker access to more properties.<\/p>\n

As lawmakers work to address the problem, including by securing some funding in the annual budget to build free truck parking spaces, drivers continue to rely on places like the Tennessean for their parking needs. There were rumors, ahead of the opening, that the revamped truck stop might switch to a paid model, but those turned out to be unfounded. Instead, the once-dirt lot was paved, parking lines were striped, and truck capacity was added.<\/p>\n

The lot was starting to fill up when Ryan and I made our way through the shop, past the aisles of Dolly-themed hats and jackets, and into the night. \u201cIt\u2019s already expensive to live on the road,\u201d Ryan told me, \u201cso being able to park for free is a huge relief. \u201cThere\u2019s also just a humanizing aspect to it,\u201d he went on. \u201cIf you\u2019re forced to park illegally, you have to go without bathrooms or food or water for the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan and I navigated the maze of parked trucks arriving finally in front of my Chevrolet. He must have sensed my anxiety about taking up a spot. \u201cYou\u2019re ok,\u201d he said. \u201cThe lot\u2019s not full yet.\u201d He pulled a t-shirt out of his truck and handed it to me. \u201cI thought you\u2019d want one of these.\u201d I unfolded it and examined the logo \u2014 mudflap Dolly.<\/p>\n

They say charity starts at home, but there\u2019s still a place for it out on the road. Dolly herself will tell you that.<\/p>\n
