There are no stations listed North of Coos Bay in the National Truck Stop Directory or Diesel Boss.

I'm looking for recommendations for the Astoria area and Port Angeles and others along the way. By searching individual cities I've found some but with little other information. 36' MH and will disconnect toad if required. Don't want mom & pop store but high volume distributors.

Suggestions appreciated.

Oregon Hwy 101 is not a normal truck route except for local deliveries so don't expect to find any large truck stops as one would find along the freeways. However, there will be a number of decent sized filling stations that also dispense diesel. Most of the logging and carrier trucks use the card lock locations.

Both Costco and Safeway in the Astoria area pump diesel. Both are relatively easy to get in and out in a MH. And both tend to have the best prices in the area.

Wow, Costco will be fantastic with my 5% cash back card! Just love that card! But to be clear is this the Warrenton store?

There is a 76 station just as you come into Gold Beach on the east side of the road. The diesel pump is before the station and stands by itself. Also in Newport there are a couple of stations that are easy to get into. I have also stopped at Fred Meyers stores they sell diesel.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I'm sure Fred Meyers would be considered a box competitor of Costco and I wouldn't get my 5%. That's like 25 cents/gal these days so I pay attention to those things...

Damn, sure wish I didn't pay attention to the pump dollar meter...
