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

I use TripAdvisor app on my phone. Shows choices and you can choose price range. Just planned a 16-night trip from Midwest to Pacific Coast and ended up with 8 nights at Super 8 motels based on price and reviews. La Quinta Inns is another one we liked but Super 8 is everywhere. Reviews are your friend.

One thing, Super 8 is popular so they might be full if you don't reserve ahead of time, depending on when you're going.

 

Ltl carriers give their drivers cards like these that give them major discounts billed on account.

clc lodging card ( Google it)

 

I just carry a blue tarp and some string. Instant Motel

 

Only issue with that is you dont know if the hotel you win can park a truck....

I use better bidding. Com to tell what hotel....it may be .... kayak. Com app to get prices

 

When you're not paying they ain't!


The last Super 8 I stopped at and it's been over 10 years was $85 a night. I'll sleep with a ####roach for $40.

 

I always get the bed bug people confused with meth heads. Skin sores and all. Horrible thought OTR bed bugs.

 

To the OP I use Google and call the hotel/motels in the area I'm going to stop in. More desolate the spot the cheaper, usually

Also casinos in Nevada are good to stop in.

 

wyndham, choice hotel apps work good, you can search for truck parking within the apps. Motel 6's are the cheapest major chain and some of them are exactly what you pay for and some of the newer ones are really nice for the price.....
I never stay at mom and pop places unless that's my only choice.

 

Most ltl & car haulers use corporate lodging card , clc , most of those hotels will give you a cdl rate

 

I didn't know they were that costly.Sure not worth 85 a nite that's for sure.
