EMPORIA – In the evenings, after truck drivers park their cargo trailers for the night, dozens of them gather at Sadler’s Travel Plaza in Emporia, a truck stop with an old-school road-trip vibe right off of Interstate 95 that offers not just gas and food but amenities like showers, a laundromat and several forms of entertainment. The truck stop’s eight electronic betting machines are especially popular among truckers and locals seeking to kill some time. “You come to this place in the evening time and it’s hard to find a game to play,” said operations manager Michael Allen. “Folks are definitely enjoying it.”
