#3 Jubitz Truck Stop and Travel Center

The Jubitz Truck Stop is known as the World’s Classiest Truck Stop. Not only can you play poker here but you can also enjoy live music from a variety of bands on the weekends. Give yourself a break from the radio and stop by!

#2 South of the Border

This truck stop started in 1949 as a small beer stand. It then evolved into a grill, drive in, motel, and now it is an iconic stop as you head south along the East Coast.  What makes this truck stop stand out the most is Pedro. A giant statue of Pedro will greet you the moment you pull in. If Pedro didn’t win you over, maybe the largest indoor reptile exhibit in the United States will. Don’t like reptiles? What about amusement parks? There is something for everyone at the South of the Border truck stop.

South of the Border is located in Dillon, South Carolina.
