Where the interstates tie together
Nearly every truck headed through central Arkansas passes through North Little Rock at some point. I-30 crosses the Arkansas River and ends at I-40 at Exit 153. A mile and a half east, I-57 — the former US-67/167 freeway, redesignated in November 2024 — peels off at Exit 155 toward Jacksonville and Searcy. Farther east, I-440 comes up from the airport at Exit 159, and at Exit 161 in Galloway sits the biggest truck stop cluster in the metro: Petro, Pilot, and Love’s side by side.
That stack of interchanges is also where construction lives. The 30 Crossing project finished its main phase in late 2024, and the next phase targets the I-30/I-40 “north terminal” interchange, with work scheduled to begin in 2026. Lane shifts and narrowed shoulders make an exact location even more important when you call.
Where we work in North Little Rock
- Galloway (I-40 Exit 161). Petro, Pilot, and Love’s, plus the truck wash and parking along Valentine and Galloway roads. This is our most common truck stop call in the metro.
- The I-30/I-40 interchange. Exits 152 through 155 — MacArthur Drive, JFK Boulevard, North Hills Boulevard, and the I-57 split.
- West North Little Rock. I-40 past Burns Park (Exit 150) and Crystal Hill Road (Exit 148) toward the I-430 interchange at Exit 147.
- Rail and industrial areas. Warehouses, rail-served businesses, and yards around the Union Pacific facilities and along the river.
- East toward Galloway and Protho Junction. Springhill Drive (Exit 156), Protho Junction (Exit 157), and I-440 at Exit 159.
Common trouble around North Little Rock
- Work-zone breakdowns. Narrow shoulders around the I-30/I-40 interchange leave no room to work — often the best move is limping to the next exit or the Galloway lots.
- Overnight no-starts. Trucks parked overnight at Exit 161 with inverters and sleeper heaters running can drain a weak battery bank by morning.
- Heat soak. Idling in summer traffic across the river bridges and through the interchange stack is hard on cooling systems and A/C.
- Trailer problems. Drop-and-hook freight means plenty of trailers with brake, light, and landing gear problems sitting in yards.

Truck repair in North Little Rock: FAQ
Do you service all the truck stops at Exit 161?
Yes — Petro, Pilot, and Love’s at Galloway, plus any other lot in the area. Tell dispatch which one, the row or fuel island, and your trailer number if you have one.
Is construction still going on at the I-30/I-40 interchange?
The main 30 Crossing work wrapped up in late 2024, but the next phase at the North Little Rock interchange was scheduled to start in 2026. Expect lane shifts and narrow shoulders — tell dispatch if you’re inside a work zone.
Is I-57 the same road as US-67/167?
Yes. In November 2024 the US-67/167 freeway from North Little Rock to Walnut Ridge became I-57. Exit numbers restart at 1 north of I-40, and many drivers and signs still call it “67/167.”
Do you work at rail yards and industrial sites?
Yes, anywhere a service truck is allowed on site. Some facilities require an escort or safety orientation, so have your contact ready.
