★ Sustained Excellence Award — ranked Top 100 for five consecutive years.

How Are the Top 100 Truck Stops Selected?

Rankings are based entirely on in-app ratings and reviews collected from over 1 million Trucker Path users across the past 12 months. No location can buy a spot — every rank reflects what working drivers actually experienced at each stop. The app now covers more than 9,000 truck stops and around 10,000 additional fueling locations across North America. The Top 5 chain and independent lists are determined separately within each category. The Overall Top 10 combines both, ranked by aggregate driver score regardless of category. Sustained Excellence Award recipients are identified by five consecutive years of Top 100 placement.
