Can anyone point out which app(s) are best to use to locate truck stops? I've used Trucker Tools and Trucker Path. Trucker path seems to be the easiest to use and I don't like Trucker Tools. Just wondering if there are any others that are available. And I already have the majors truck stops loaded up.

.....hmm...without getting snarky , either google where to find one , use the t/a , loves, pilot - flying j app , or if they still sell truck stop books , one of those.
As you stated , you have most of the t/s apps , so should be no issue -
THE POCKET TRUCK STOP GUIDE®
The Pocket Truck Stop Guide® (truckandtravel.com)
has rest areas, truck stops, tells size, amenities available, exit numbers.
and cheap. found in t/s

Trucker path is the easiest and most comprehensive, IMO. You just need to learn how to interpret the parking status and the reviews. Trucker Path provides Google Traffic maps in addition to routing, if you use the paid versions. If you use routing on the free version it gives you car routing info, not always a safe bet in a big truck.Tarheel005 Thanks this. -
Trucker Path is the best one I have have seen so far. Went to renew my $50 a year plan. They only have Gold and Platinum levels and now want $100 a year minimum. They give you the parking prediction and truck GPS navigation but $100 a year is expensive for 1 app. The old $50 plan just had the parking prediction/history

There used to be an app that had em all listed. Not just the chains.
I don't remember what it's called or if it still exists.
It had the scales too. -
They're all in my head...
The names may change but the location remains the same.
I recall back in the day all the majors had a location's guide at the cashier.
And I still have a low bridge guide for Chicago and New York along with a binder type county street atlas for Los Angeles.
I guess most printed matter is obsolete today but for me it helped in getting the bigger picture.tscottme Thanks this. -
The summary is create a gmail address like name@gmail.com. Then use n.ame@gmail.com or name+something@gmail.com for your free-trial. All mail sent to n.ame@gmail.com or name+something@gmail.com will go directly to name@gmail.com. "Name" can be any word or characters. "Something" can be any word, numbers, characters.
Here's a video on how to do this.
