Trucker Path unveiled its annual ranking of the best chain and independent truck stops as rated by the truck drivers using the app.
New this year is the Sustained Excellence Award for the truck stops that have been selected by the Trucker Path community as one of the nation’s Top 100 annually for each of the past five years.
Trucker Path gathered in-app ratings and reviews from the more than 1 million truck drivers using the Trucker Path app over the past 12 months to determine the Top 100 facilities nationwide out of the more than 9,000 truck stops and about 10,000 additional fueling locations on the app.
The Top 5 lists include the chain and independent locations with the highest ratings in their respective categories. The Top 10 list includes both chain and independent locations.

“To the truckers who voted for us — thank you for trusting us with your stops,” he added. “Professional drivers are the backbone of our economy, and serving them well is something our team takes personally.”
