The truck stop actually began as a small Shell gas station on Highway 46 in the 1950s. But when an overpass was built cutting off traffic to the station a few years later, local businessman Red Hunter purchased the operation and moved it over to the 101, just north of Paso Robles, which even then was known for its wineries and hot springs. In the beginning, the San Paso Truck Stop was just a few pumps, a small garage and a restaurant, all of which catered to a burgeoning American trucking industry that sent semi-trailers streaming into the growing cities of Southern California. Located roughly halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, over time we became a familiar waystation for travelers cruising the Golden State. In the early 1980s,the facility expanded, adding a convenience store and showers. Two decades later, after years of operating as an independent, the truck stop is a Sinclair affiliated gas station. We strive to be the friendliest and cleanest in the state.
