Motel 6 and Trucker Path are partnering to help truck drivers find a room at Motel 6 locations through the app.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, Motel 6 has launched enhanced protection protocols for guests and team members, supporting social distancing and increased cleaning frequency for common areas.
“At Motel 6, we are committed to leaving the light on for drivers who are bravely continuing on their routes, bringing much needed medical supplies, food and goods to communities across the U.S.,” said Rob Palleschi, chief executive officer at Motel 6. “These heroes are putting their own safety on the line to keep America moving.”
To locate properties while on the road, drivers can simply download the Trucker Path app and make reservations at Motel 6 locations from their phones.
“Trucker Path is excited to partner with Motel 6 to say thank you to all truckers and help provide convenient access to an economical and clean place to rest their heads so that they can get back on the road safely,” said Joe Chen, CEO at Trucker Path.
