is there a source for truckers to find the cheapest motels all over the country?

Priceline...it is your friend.

 

i use Wyndham rewards points
mostly Super 8 a lot of them have truck parking
last 2 nights were free rooms with points

 

Not joking when i say this
Ask a local pizza parlor, Ask the Mail man, Ask a Police officer, Ask UPS/Fedex. Ask a waitress, Ask billy bob mowing the lawn.Ask a bartender/bar fly... Local yocals have great information most of the time lol


Whatever you do, DO NOT ASK A KID lol

If it's just a overnight stay I'll use this http://www.americasbestvalueinn.com/

You can get a rate around $50. Tell them you have a CDL and they'll give you a discount. They are your average 3 star motels good for overnight stays.

If I'm planning a vacation I'll use Priceline or Hotwire.

There is always Red Roof Inn and Knights Inn. On the interstate in rural areas they are survivable. The last one I stayed in I think was $35.

You can also get on google maps and zoom in a particular area and they will mark the motels. You stick your cursor on them and it'll give you a link if they have one. That's a good way to find a privately owned motel. Some of them you get a decent room at a great price.

Read the reviews!! They are worth their weight in gold.

 

When you're planning to stay in a motel/hotel, before you unpack everything, make sure you check the room for bed bugs! Those nasty critters have an ability to hide anywhere, in cheap or expensive motels/hotels, but there are some great resources to help you avoid them. Here are two links to help people become more aware of what they look like and where they tend to hide:

Plus, theUniversity of Minnesota has created a "Bed Bug Identification Card" and good website at http://www.bedbugs.umn.edu/

Needless to say, if bedbugs hop on your clothes/luggage they can easily jump off and start a new colony in your truck or back home... and it's VERY difficult to get rid of them once they've infested something... and they can have a very unpleasant bite! Always check for bed bugs before sleeping in a new bed.

 

Most offer a driver discount

 

So whats wrong with the Super 8,days inn,comfort inn they're not expensive.

 

Follow the bedbugs... they know where the deals are!
