    Ladies and Gentlemen, please share any possible option you can come up with - memory, websites, applications, paper directories etc. - when it comes to finding out info about a truck stop.

    Thank you [​IMG]

    All of the above and I've called many of them if the info I needed to know wasn't readily available. I use Google Earth a lot for this too, as well as looking at shippers/receivers.

    T/A-Petro and Pilot/Flying J both put out free magazines. (Road King & Challenger respectively) both have listings of all their stops.

    Wilco & Loves I just kinda stumble across. Wilco's don't even show in my GPS.

    Then there are even smaller stops that I've just learned about from driving regular routes.
     
    Konrad Po Thanks this.

    It would be nice if that info would also show whether the truckstop is tolerant about 30 min breaks at the fuel pump.
     
    Konrad Po and Cetane+ Thank this.

    I just found out yesterday, the the current issue of Pilot's Challenger magazine is the final issue. So if you want the current list of PFJs, that's your last opportunity.

    Little pocket size truck stop guide book purchased at most truck stops. Simple, shows mile marker, interstate/highway, total spaces, also has rest area locations. That's what I used.
     
    Numb Thanks this.
