Known for both his business acumen and his philanthropic efforts, Saunders' ventures are far-reaching and diverse. He was instrumental in reshaping the truck stop industry, taking it from poorly stocked, overgrown gas stations to modern travel plazas with stores, restaurants, and lodging facilities. Saunders began in 1958 with his father's gas station, and built it into the Truckstops of America chain. Saunders later founded Travel Ports of America, Inc. which merged with Ryder's TravelCenters of America in 1999. Today, TravelCenters is the nation's largest chain of truck stops.
