ELK GROVE, Calif. —

Elk Grove residents are attempting to pump the brakes on a recently greenlit 24/7 truck fueling center.

The Elk Grove Planning Commission approved a project that would create a fueling center planned by the company Maverik on an empty lot near Grant Line Road and East Stockton Boulevard.
