TA Bloomsbury: a practical I-78 reset

The location at a glance

TA’s official listing places TA Bloomsbury #0048 at 975 State Route 173, Bloomsbury, NJ 08804-3113, off I-78 at Exit 7. The main number is 908-479-4136; truck service is 908-444-6998.

The operator lists 122 truck parking spaces and Reserve-It parking. That is published capacity, not a live count of empty spaces. Check availability and the terms for your arrival before relying on this stop.

Food and facilities

The location page lists Country Pride and Burger King, showers, laundry, a driver lounge, pet area, travel store and CAT scale. It also lists fueling and truck services. Confirm the particular service and restaurant window you need; a fuel stop’s availability does not establish every facility’s hours.

Make the meal a deliberate part of the break. If a sit-down meal is the priority, check service before starting laundry or another task. Leave enough flexibility for a queue.

Settle parking first

Check the official Reserve-It service or call the location. Ask about the charge, reservation period and late-arrival terms. Do not assume every space is free or can be reserved.

For unusual loads, oversize equipment, a trailer drop or a longer stay, confirm suitability directly. Use truck-appropriate navigation, posted signs and your fleet’s routing guidance. This guide does not certify a turn-by-turn approach.

Our suggested stop plan

Choose the tasks that fit the time you actually have. One completed priority can make a short stop useful; a longer parked break may allow you to combine a meal with a shower or laundry.

• Park and confirm where the vehicle may remain.
• Check the meal window before committing to a longer task.
• Ask about shower and laundry availability, prices and waits. Confirm what the shower purchase includes.
• Bring one prepared shower bag, with clean clothes separated from used items.
• Repack the kit and gather loose belongings before leaving.

Make the next stop easier

A few minutes of preparation can simplify the next break. Give toiletries one bag, laundry its own space and spare cables a pouch. Start with supplies you already own, then replace whatever repeatedly causes trouble.

Our cab-comfort starter kit develops that idea with a short packing and buying checklist. Its manufacturer links are ordinary reference links.

What this spotlight establishes

Details were checked against the operator’s website on October 30, 2026. Current parking vacancies, service waits, fees and equipment-specific access were not confirmed by phone or an on-site visit.

This is an independent planning guide researched from official information. The suggested stop sequence is not hours-of-service guidance or a substitute for required rest, and it does not describe a documented personal visit.
