There are more trucks than ever on the nation's highways, and an ever-growing number of fueling stops to serve them. But the relationship between truck drivers and truckstops has evolved in recent years.


A new white paper from Newport Communications, "Truckstops & Truck Drivers - A Changing Relationship," details that while truckers still use truckstops to buy fuel and food, research indicates that when parked at most interstate truckstops, drivers now spend the bulk of their time in their cab "homes," minimizing time spent inside the truckstops themselves.

Exceptions, the paper found, include a select number of truckstops located in relatively close proximity to major freight pickup or delivery locations, and truckstops with a history of good business and such outstanding offerings that drivers look forward to the visit.
