In Az, I-40, exit 9, Lake Havasu City get off. (Lk Havasu 21 mi S. from I-40) New Loves just past the Pilot on R. side. Hugh parking lot, 5 showers, 8 diesel islands, Cat scale, Subway, Carls Jr./ The Green Burrito.
Also, FYI, Thermo King repair in W. Kingman, Exit 44, go N. Their sign claims to work on any brand, so I assume they will work on Carrier units.

New Loves, Lake Havasu City,Az by: Jimmy
New Loves opening at Lake Havasu City, Az. Exit 9, I-40, past the Pilot on right side. Opening approximately April,'09. Along I-40 in Az, there will now be a Pilot and Loves at exit 9, Crazy Freds, exit 44, T/A and USA at exit 48, Flying 'J',exit 53, Loves, exit 59, and Petro, exit 66.
Truck washes available include Blue Beacon, behind Petro, exit 66, An independent truck wash at exit 59 next to Loves, Truck Tub at exit 44 (so frontage rd, E.) and Crazy Freds has a truck wash at exit 44. Crazy Freds is along s.frontage rd, e.
Truck service includes Speedco at exit 66 (n. side) Petro, exit 66, T/A, exit 48, Crazy Freds, exit 44. And there is a Freightliner dealer at exit 53. (turn left at Flying 'J' to enter Freightliner) FYI, Crazy Freds is hit and miss re: truck wash and truck service. Freightliner hours are 2 shifts weekdays and 1 shift weekends. Freightliner also has a small shop in Needles,Ca.
Kingman is a truck friendly town. Wal-Mart Super Center is off exit 51 (Stockton Hill Rd) and go N. Go past Wal-Mart to traffic lite (Airway) and turn R. to next lite to enter. They don't want trucks trying to enter from Stockton Hill Rd. Or you can enter from exit 53, go past Flying 'J' to next lite (Airway) and left to Wal-Mart entrance. Recommended.
There are various motels close to Flying 'J' with truck parking and a Harley Davidson dealer. Caterpillar has a truck shop also. Both Harley and Cat are between exit 51 and 53 on the N. side of I-40 with truck parking.
So if you're driving by and can't stop to say hello, at least wave, we'll wave back. We promise! Jimmy
