The Penn-Can is still the best place to stop between Scranton & Bingo. Scott 60 was closed for a couple years due to the economy, now I see is open again, I haven't been in to check it out yet. Bingham's Diner at exit 211 burned down last year, the owner is rebuilding, hopefully open again by summer. Gibson Truck Plaza at exit 219 was put under when Flying Jerk opened at the same exit. I don't run up that way as much as I used to, as most of our NY freight has dried up. Funny our main terminal is just west of Syracuse and I almost never go up there anymore.

I'll bet you also remember Hawk's Truck Stop on Court Street.Yup, sure do,i used to run from South Jersey to Binghamton 6 nights a week when i drove for my grandfather,took a load of apples up,and usually brought back a load of empty packing crates or glass bottles back. I remember both places had really good food at the time. I dont get up that way very often anymore either,but used to enjoy stopping at both places,we even had a charge account for fuel at Penn-can,i still have an old fuel receipt somewhere,136 gallons of fuel for $65.00?so i'm kinda dating myself!................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

They unloaded early there and i'd always go to that diner for breakfast. The food was great, plenty of it, and cheap! Last time I was up that way the whole place was gone-just like it had never been there. Probably a Pilot or something there by now,I don't know.

Seldom get across that part of 70 now. I think that's the same as the truckstop in Newcomerstown on 77, north of I-70. I stop there a lot.I used to stop at Crazy Ed's in Niota,Tn. a lot too-another old time type truckstop. The barbecue there was really good, but same story-gone.

Probably a Pilot or something there by now,I don't know.If I recall correctly that was the Skyliner Diner at exit 10 south of Cortland. Straight across from the get-off ramp. I ate there a few times before it was gone. Prolly close to 10 years ago now.Don't be looking for the Shenandoah Truckstop at exit #186 west of Cambridge, OH., either. Gone, leveled, empty lot. It was open again recently under new ownership, but now gone for good.Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHBOUND01 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Neat video,thought i recognized someone near the end?..............Mark COOL video! I like the full fenders on some of the trucks.
