Winter storm results in gasoline trucked into Texas

 

When Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores Inc. started trucking in gasoline to its 75 locations in Texas, it was part of a first in Texas in decades and revealed just how badly the state was harmed by the recent winter storm.

It meant Texas was being forced to truck in gasoline from other states for the first time since Hurricane Harvey.

Loves, headquartered in Oklahoma City wasn’t alone. The Pilot Flying J chained owned by Pilot Travel Centers LLC had to do the same by trucking gasoline from Arizona and New Mexico to supply its 100 Texas stores according to a report by Bloomberg.
