The game actually started as "Diesel Demon", a table designed by Steve Kirk at Creator/{{Bally}} about a zombie truck driver terrorizing motorists, then rethemed and renamed to the less intimidating "Ramp Warrior". During this time, Bally was bought out by Williams, and company management decided to differentiate the two brands by reserving the Bally label for budget games with [[LowestCommonDenominator low-brow concepts]] and [[SexSells big-breasted women]]. "Ramp Warrior" was the first game to fall under this edict, and thus ''Truck Stop'' was born. Many players consider it an empty pleasure, a fun game to be played when taking a break between more epic titles.

''Trivia:'' Due to an engineering mistake during design, the wireforms in the upper part of the playfield were smaller than normal, causing the balls to get stuck in them. The workaround was to replace the 1.25" balls with smaller ones, making this one of only two pins to use 1" balls.

The player is cast as a semi truck driver, enjoying some good donuts, hot coffee, and fine company at Big Betty's between shifts hauling cargo. Hit the symmetrical double ramps to spot the various cities, then pull into the Gas Station to lock the ball. Spell C-I-T-Y five times to reach a destination and start two-ball multiball, then blast through the center dropdown targets and hit the bonus multiplier. For a faster trip, hit all of the blue targets to light the diamonds and complete the current destination.
