Trucker Path, a developer of mobile apps and services for the trucking industry, has released its annual list of the best truck stops in the country, a ranking of the top places for drivers to stop based on each facility’s offerings and customer service.

The annual list is based on feedback from drivers who utilize the Trucker Path app, which provides navigation services as well as up-to-date information on truck stops, real-time parking availability, fuel prices, weigh station status, and truck scale and wash locations, among other services. Trucker Path gathered more than 34 million in-app ratings and reviews from nearly 1 million drivers over the past 12 months to determine the Top 100 truck stops. Breakout “Top 5” lists of truck stops include the chain and independent locations with the highest ratings in their respective categories.

Davenport, Iowa, Kwik Star #1071 ranked first overall for the second straight year and also ranked first in the chain category. Discount Truck Parking of Pompano Beach, Florida, ranked first in the independent category.

“Being named to the list of Top Truck Stops means they are the best of the best,” Chris Oliver, Trucker Path’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement announcing the rankings Wednesday. “... With over 12,000 truck stops and roughly 11,000 additional fueling locations on our app for drivers to rate, this is a huge accomplishment, and those facilities should be exceptionally proud. Providing this recognition and highlighting these top truck stops is part of our mission to help make truckers’ lives on the road easier and more comfortable.”

Stops are rated based on a range of offerings, including clean showers and well lit parking to onsite restaurants, healthy food options, drivers lounges, and friendly staff, according to Trucker Path. 

Drivers can find a list of Trucker Path Top 100 Truck Stops online or look for the window decal honoring each location for its place in the annual ranking.

The agreement came late last night between the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) representing some 45,000 workers and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) that includes the operators of 14 port facilities up and down the coast.

Maersk offers 5 steps to make your supply chain “antifragile”

Companies worldwide faced waves of business disruptions throughout the past year, but as 2025 is predicted to be just as complex as 2024, global cargo carrier Maersk has listed five steps for making supply chains “antifragile.”

Maersk’s overall view of the coming year is that the global economy is expected to grow modestly, with the possibility of higher inflation caused by lingering supply chain issues, continued geopolitical tensions, and fiscal policies such as new tariffs. Geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions could threaten global stability, climate change action will continue to shape international cooperation, and the ongoing security issue in the Red Sea is expected to continue into 2025.

What happens to global supply chains if China attacks Taiwan?

For an island measuring a little less than 14,000 square miles (or about the size of Belgium), Taiwan plays a crucial role in global supply chains, making geopolitical concerns associated with it of keen interest to most major corporations.

Taiwan has essentially acted as an independent nation since 1949, when the nationalist government under Chiang Kai-shek retreated to the island following the communist takeover of mainland China. Yet China has made no secret of the fact that it wants to bring Taiwan back under its authority—ambitions that were brought to the fore in October when China launched military drills that simulated an attack on the island.
