Trucker Path, a developer of mobile apps and services for the trucking industry, has released its annual list of the best truck stops in the country, a ranking of the top places for drivers to stop based on each facility’s offerings and customer service.


The annual list is based on feedback from drivers who utilize the Trucker Path app, which provides navigation services as well as up-to-date information on truck stops, real-time parking availability, fuel prices, weigh station status, and truck scale and wash locations, among other services. Trucker Path gathered more than 34 million in-app ratings and reviews from nearly 1 million drivers over the past 12 months to determine the Top 100 truck stops. Breakout “Top 5” lists of truck stops include the chain and independent locations with the highest ratings in their respective categories.

Davenport, Iowa, Kwik Star #1071 ranked first overall for the second straight year and also ranked first in the chain category. Discount Truck Parking of Pompano Beach, Florida, ranked first in the independent category.

“Being named to the list of Top Truck Stops means they are the best of the best,” Chris Oliver, Trucker Path’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement announcing the rankings Wednesday. “... With over 12,000 truck stops and roughly 11,000 additional fueling locations on our app for drivers to rate, this is a huge accomplishment, and those facilities should be exceptionally proud. Providing this recognition and highlighting these top truck stops is part of our mission to help make truckers’ lives on the road easier and more comfortable.”

Stops are rated based on a range of offerings, including clean showers and well lit parking to onsite restaurants, healthy food options, drivers lounges, and friendly staff, according to Trucker Path. 

Drivers can find a list of Trucker Path Top 100 Truck Stops online or look for the window decal honoring each location for its place in the annual ranking.

Geodis goes airborne to speed cycle counts

As a contract provider of warehousing, logistics, and supply chain solutions, Geodis often has to provide customized services for clients.

That was the case recently when one of its customers asked Geodis to up its inventory monitoring game—specifically, to begin conducting quarterly cycle counts of the goods it stored at a Geodis site. Trouble was, performing more frequent counts would be something of a burden for the facility, which still conducted inventory counts manually—a process that was tedious and, depending on what else the team needed to accomplish, sometimes required overtime.

Logistics real estate rents dropped in 2024 after decade of growth

Global logistics real estate rents drooped in 2024 as an overheated market reset after years of outperformance, according to a report from real estate giant Prologis.

By the numbers, global logistics real estate rents declined by 5% last year as market conditions “normalized” after historic growth during the pandemic. After more than a decade overall of consistent growth, the change was driven by rising real estate vacancy rates up in most markets, Prologis said. The three causes for that condition included an influx of new building supply, coupled with positive but subdued demand, and uncertainty about conditions in the economic, financial market, and supply chain sectors.
