FAUCETT – Whether you’re leaving St. Joseph, or headed north out of Kansas City, you really can’t miss it.
You know, that big suspended 70s-era Peterbilt on top the hill, 50 feet in the air off Exit 35.
That unmistakable landmark lets travelers know – that’s Farris Truck Stop. And once they stop, they tend to stop back. Time and again.
