About four dozen employees at the TA Truck Stop in Corning are expected to lose their jobs when that business shuts down next month. It’s unclear why the facility is closing, but some reports indicate it could be for financial reasons. The travel center is located just east of Interstate Five at South Avenue in Corning and is popular with truckers who can get food, a shower, and park their rigs overnight. It’s possible that the employees who are let go won’t receive any kind of severance pay or a chance to work at other TA locations, one of which is between Redding and Anderson.
