    “This is our tenth location in California, and our fifth within 100 miles of Los Angeles,” said Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam. “All of our customers – professional drivers and automobile travelers alike – will benefit from the added convenience of having Pilot on the high-traffic I-5 corridor.”

    Located at the I-5 Lake Hughes exit, the travel center features 125 parking spaces, eight fuel lanes each for diesel fuel and gasoline, pay-at-the-pump/Smart Fuel, Transflo Express documentation for professional drivers and seven showers. The center also includes a Popeye’s Chicken restaurant and will offer CAT scales by January 2005.
