Answer: Truck Stop Report (TSR) was born out of a lack of information available on truck stops and travel plazas. There are plenty of sites that list trucks stops, but all them have one or two major limitations. Number 1, they only list truck stops that are members to their group or association or Number 2, they provide nothing more then an address, free exit and phone numbers, or both. TSR hopes to assist the motoring public, be it the commercial driver who's very quality of life depends on truck plaza's and their amenities or the RVer or 4-wheeler who's safety and the safety of other drivers depend on their being able to find places for food, fuel, rest and repairs. Many RVers, tourists and families traveling long distance offen look for places where truckers gather to eat and rest because generally if the truckers are stopping there, it is likely good food and a safe location.
To assist the traveler, Truck Stop Report provides an informal blog and a detailed review of truck stops that can be submitted by John Q. Public. This allows other driver's to benefit from another driver's experiences - good or bad. We have all been in bad truck stops and normally these stops continue to exist because the next driver coming in is not forewarned. TSR hopes to change that.
Question: Do you accept input from others
Answer: Absolutely! In fact, we need it and want it. There is no way we could ever visit all known truck plaza, truck stops or businesses that support the professional driver. Plus, with so many changes (new places open, name/facility changes, places closing, etc), we would have to revisit ever location every year. However, by allowing the drivers and travelers that visit and use these facilities everyday to notify us of updates, we can provide the most accurate information anywhere. And by allowing the driver's, RVer, tourists and travelers to submit their personal experiences, the next driver to use the service/facility will have a better idea of what to expect.
Question: Why do you not list fuel prices?
Answer: Many other sites provide fuel prices but fuel prices can change daily or even hourly. There are also numerous other websites that specialize in this information. Some of them have many 'members' that provide regular updates.
- In no special order, here are some places to obtain fuel prices
- Pilot & Flying J locations Provides only information on company stores.
- Travel Centers of America (TA) Provides only information on company stores.
- Loves Travel Stops Provides only information on company stores.
- Find Fuel Stop Large listing, not all locations are truck/RV friendly.
- Gas Buddy searchable by city and state, however, lists ALL gasoline and diesel sources, may not have access for trucks and large RVs.
Question: You indicate businesses adjacent to or near by truck stops. What are some of the businesses you list and how close are they.
Answer: We try to include nearby restaurants - both major chains and Mom/Pop shops; banks/credit unions; motels; maintenance & tire services; grocery; department stores; pharmacy; bowling alleys & movie theaters; medical offices; veterinarian offices and other amenities that a truck driver or RVer might need. Not everything will get listed, sometimes because of limited space on the website and sometimes because we do know about the business/service. You are welcome and free to submit such information just as you can submit updates for individual locations.
