, /PRNewswire/ — ATA’s Women In Motion (WIM) Council and Trucker Path today announced the Top 3 Women-Friendly Truck Stops that have met all seven WIM criteria and scored highest on ratings by app users.
The WIM criteria are based on input from women drivers and include: lighted parking, lighted bathroom access, lighted lounge areas, lighted shower, lighted laundry facilities, 24/7 maintenance, and on-site security.
In 2024, and in partnership with WIM, Trucker Path built functionality into its platform that enabled drivers to search for WIM-friendly amenities. To date, more than 12,000 truck stops have added information indicating the availability of at least one of these amenities, and nearly 250 now offer all seven.
The Top 3 Women-Friendly Truck Stops are:
- Compass Travel Center in DeMotte, Indiana, which was also rated number 25 on the Trucker Path Top 100 Truck Stops list.
- Garden Inn Truck Plaza in Mound City, Missouri
- Talent Truck Stop in Talent, Oregon
“Expanding the number of places where women drivers can safely stop and rest while on the road has been a key focus for WIM,” said Nikki Thomas, American Trucking Associations vice president of industry affairs. “We congratulate the Top 3 highest rated Truck Stops that have focused on this important objective and thank Trucker Path for helping make the road safer for women drivers.”
“Amenities like lighted parking lots, bathroom access, and on-site security are not simply matters of convenience—they are essential to ensuring women’s wellbeing,” Thomas continued. “One of the most rewarding outcomes of the WIM-Trucker Path partnership has been hearing directly from truck stop owners who have added or upgraded amenities to help women feel safer at their facilities.”
Women drivers consistently rank access to safe parking as their top obstacle. The overwhelming demand for the Trucker Path app is a clear indication that women depend on this information to thrive in the industry.
“The WIM section of the Trucker Path app has been accessed more than 64 million times, and that number continues to grow every day,” said Chris Oliver, CMO at Trucker Path. “We are proud to be able to use our platform to help WIM reach and support women drivers.”
Women drivers who download the Trucker Path app can search for stops along routes and select “More” to select the amenities that are important to them at those stops.
