    The only way I've found is to verify the actual truck stops during trip planning. It's a little p.i.t.a. but I'm not going cross-eyed trying to hold my water for a stop that isn't there.

    I start looking for a Sinclair or AM Best when I get below 1/2 tank.I noticed it says Truck Stop X
    miles ahead,when the distance gets down to 0 there's nothing there but a field or farmhouse.

    Hi, thank you all for providing this feedback about your experiences. We will look into this further, are you able to provide the addresses for these ghost locations? Thanks in advance for this additional information and have a great day! Regards, Hammer Support

    Interstate 49 from Shreveport south has a few. I'll try to note them next time I run that way.

    Seriously...

    Truckers path - its a free phone app.

    It shows you all truck stops, how much parking they have, how much parking is currently available. What services they have (tires, ect.), how many showers they have, fuel prices, def prices. Road problems.

    It even tells you in real time if a chicken house is open or closed.

    Its constantly updated by users of the app. Drive by a scale, it pops up - "was the scale open or closed", and you hit a button and it updates it (last 3 reports are shown and how old those reports are). Go in a truckstop it pops up - "how much parking is there" you hit a button lots, some, none. Again, last 3 reports are there and how old they are.

    There is really no reason NOT to use it...

    They have low bridges marked on the maps, you can use it for route planning (I use google maps for that personally), lots of other stuff. Check it out.
