The world suffered a huge loss last week with the passing of Dolly Parton – but her memory will live on thanks to her music, her kindness, her philanthropy and so much more. That includes a brand-new truck stop in the heart of Tennessee. In fact, the grand opening of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop was one of her last public appearances. Mark Dukes, president of the travel stop, took some time before Dolly’s passing to tell us about the destination that is Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, why it meant so much to her and why truckers held a special place in her heart.
