Big Rig Friendly Gas Station
We will be travelling along highway number 3 in Alberta and BC and would like some ideas on where to stop for diesel. We have a 40 ft class A and will be towing. We would like to be able to stop aroun...

Going east to west on Hwy 3

on the west end of town just past the Prestige Inn is " Fas Gas Plus" large lot and no canopy over the pumps. It is on the right side of the Hwy, easy assess and exit.

take the first exit after crossing the Bridge across the Columbia River . Take the right hand turn and follow it over the overpass to the stop sign. Go through the stop sign in the right lane. (Don't go to the Perto-can/ 7-11 on the right side at the stop light, to tight of a parking lot and at the pumps.) Take the right hand turn lane that will put you on to Hwy 22 going north, 1/2 a block is the Chevron on the left side of the road. There is a center turn lane and the diesel pump is on northeast side of the two rows of pumps. This is a very large lot and they do have a canopy but it is very high. The entrance to the Chevron is at the stop light so it makes it very easy to leave the gas station with a large rig.
Also just after you go over the overpass to stop sign is the Casltegar Chamber of commerce. They have a free dump station on the Over pass side of the building if required.

There is one gas station right on the side of the Hwy. It has a diesel pump sitting all by it's self about 100ft before the gas pumps, which as all located in the open air a bit of a distance from the building. No canopy and a HUGE lot.

Husky on the far side of town just as you are leaving town on the right hand side of the highway just after the Hwy 3 and Hwy 97 jct.

Take the Vedder road exit and then cross over the overpass to the west. There are many gas stations and stores
Soup.
