OKLAHOMA CITY, April 3, 2020 - Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, the nation's industry-leading travel stop network, is looking to hire more than 2,000 employees for its travel stops, country stores, truck care centers, Speedco locations and for its Oklahoma City headquarters. In Houston, Musket, the trading and logistics arm of Love's, and Trillium, a leading developer of alternative fueling systems, are also hiring.

"With the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and job market, it's likely a good time for some to explore opportunities they may have never thought of before," said Shane Wharton, president of Love's. "We want to ensure potential candidates know about the variety of jobs available with Love's that can re-energize their careers."

On Thursday, the U.S. Labor Department announced a historic weekly high in unemployment claims when 6.6 million Americans filed for first-time unemployment benefits. On Friday, unemployment went from 3.5 percent to 4.4 percent, with the rate expected to reach double digits soon.

Love's has been declared an essential business by the U.S. Transportation Department for its role in taking care of professional drivers as they deliver essential goods across the country. The company recently announced wage increases, bonuses and enhanced sick pay in light of the COVID-19 outbreak.
