Jan. 27, 2025
Based on Trucker Path user data, the company has identified the top 100 best places for truckers to rest and refresh.

Trucker Path, which makes a digital routing and mapping tool for the transportation industry, has released its annual Top 100 Truck Stops, a ranking of chains and independent facilities chosen by over 1 million drivers using the Trucker Path app.

The overall winner of the Top 100 Truck Stops and Top 5 Independent Truck Stops recognition for 2025 is the Tiffin River Service Plaza in West Unity, Ohio, located at Milepost 20.8 Eastbound on the Ohio Turnpike.

The Tiffin River Service Plaza is part of a network of 14 Ohio Turnpike service plazas located approximately every 30 to 50 miles, and features a Truckers Lounge easily accessed from the facility’s 110-parking space commercial truck lot, separate restrooms and complimentary showers, coin-operated mini laundromat, and food court and convenience store. The service plaza also accepts a range of fuel and fleet cards from its truck customers.

“Every day of the year, 24 hours a day, the Ohio Turnpike’s service plazas are open to give truck drivers the best possible experience on the road,” said Ferzan M. Ahmed, P.E., executive director of the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission. “We are proud that the Tiffin River location has been recognized by drivers as the number one  location in the nation for safe, clean facilities and services that truckers value.”

Stone's Truck Stop, located off Highway 212 and Interstate 29 in Watertown, South Dakota, was the runner-up. The independent stop offers a top-notch convenience store, fueling stations, gift shop, WiFi, and free showers with fuel purchase. The Grainery Cafe and The Loft Casino & Pub are also onsite to provide full-service meals and relaxation.
