The makers of the Trucker Path app have released their annual ranking of truck stops based on offerings and customer service, as rated by users of the app.

For its annual Top Truck Stops ranking, Trucker Path gathered in-app ratings and reviews over the past 12 months to determine the Top 100. The Top 5 lists of truck stops include the chain and independent locations with the highest ratings in their respective categories. Drivers across the nation can look for Trucker Path Top 100 Truck Stops, which display a window decal honoring the locations for their place in the annual ranking.

“The best of the best truck stops earn that recognition from their customers,” said Chris Oliver, CMO at Trucker Path. “This well-deserved accomplishment means that the 2025 winners stood out for their range of offerings and their dedication to customer service among the more than 9,000 truck stops and about 10,000 additional fueling locations on the Trucker Path app.”

In 2025, the overall winner of the Top 100 Truck Stops and Top 5 Independent Truck Stops recognition is the Tiffin River Service Plaza in West Unity, Ohio, at Milepost 20.8 Eastbound on the Ohio Turnpike. Part of a network of 14 Ohio Turnpike service plazas located approximately every 30 to 50 miles, the Tiffin River Service Plaza features a Trucker's Lounge with easy access from the facility’s 110-space commercial truck parking lot, separate restrooms and complimentary showers, coin-operated washers and dryers, food court and convenience store, and Touch & Win Ohio Lottery EZ Play video gaming terminals. The service plaza also accepts a range of fuel and fleet cards from its truck customers.
