Tebay Services, M6 Junction 38 – A Truck Stop Review
When you’re out on the road, we know how important it is to firstly, stop regularly to limit overtiredness and secondly, when you do stop, the place has all the facilities needed. When driving a HGV vehicle, for obvious reasons you can’t just rock up to any old service station and hope for the best. There are multiple things to consider such as, do they accommodate vehicles of a certain size? Are there showers available? Or perhaps a place to sleep and rest?
At Transmode, we’ve been reviewing truck stops so you don’t have to! Take a look below for a full review of Tebay Services.

The History of Tebay Services
Tebay Services was opened in 1972 by John and Barbara Dunning after the M6 motorway was built through their farm. This is still the foundation of all their offerings; in fact, their farmland still surrounds the truck stop and you can often see their livestock around the buildings.
