With over 6,000 truck stops in the Trucker Path app determining the best truck stops in America is no small task. But hey, who doesn’t love a challenge and a competition to see which is the best truck stop for 2017.

Best Truck Stops

The best truck stops are ranked thanks to you guys! There are over 600,000 truck drivers who update locations on Trucker Path with available parking at truck stops, travel centers and rest areas throughout America. Drivers also comment on their experiences at truck stops by leaving ratings and reviews for fellow users to view.

Whether you need diesel stations to fuel up, looking for a delicious homemade meal like grandma used to make or just looking for a place with truck parking to rest, these are the best truck stops perfect for truck drivers.

Creek Travel Plaza

The Creek Travel Plaza is the best truck stop for independently owned truck stops and is a must stop for truck drivers in the Southeast.

What Makes It a Best Truck Stop?

To determine what is the best truck stop, we analyzed a variety of criteria in order to award the best locations found in our app. Truck stops and travel centers with available truck parking, fantastic customer service and useful amenities like showers, repair services, laundry facilities and WiFi found themselves a cut above the competition.

It’s no secret, truck drivers love to eat. That’s why restaurant options and food quality were also included in our decision-making when ranking the best truck stops. The next time you are traveling through America, be sure to check out one of these nearby truck stops.
