About Us

Our Story

Founded in 2014, Nearest-Truck-Stop emerged from a simple observation: finding nearby truck stops was a chore filled with guesswork and outdated information. Our founders, familiar with the challenges truckers faced on the road, saw a gap in the existing digital infrastructure—a reliable, real-time source for truck stop locations and amenities was missing. From this need, Nearest-Truck-Stop was born, with a mission to equip truckers and travelers with up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive information about truck stops across the nation.

Our Mission

Our mission is straightforward: to create a one-stop solution for truckers and travelers seeking information about truck stops. We are dedicated to removing the uncertainty from road trips and freight hauls by providing detailed, reliable data on truck stop locations, services, fuel availability, and more. Our core values—accuracy, reliability, and user-centricity—guide every piece of information shared on our platform.

Achievements Along the Way

Since our inception, Nearest-Truck-Stop has not only grown its database to cover thousands of truck stops nationwide but also introduced features like real-time fuel prices, user reviews, and amenities checklists. Achieving milestones such as hitting our one-millionth user mark in 2017 and launching our mobile app in 2019, our journey demonstrates commitment and progress towards making life on the road easier for our community.
