The truck stops here

Nominations for Logistics UK’s Best Truck Stop of the Year have already begun flooding in, as the search for the best truck stop gathers pace and the topic is generating significant media interest.

The search, which began on 11 March, is asking drivers to nominate the truck stops they believe are worthy of recognition, using criteria such as security, lighting, food availability and value for money, all of which determine the overall experience for a driver at a stop.

Those who nominate will be entered into a prize draw to win an IROAD Dash Cam FX2 PRO, supplied by Parksafe Group, and the winner, which will be decided by an expert panel of judges, will receive a prestigious trophy, a feature in Logistics Magazine and a bespoke PR package.

Logistics UK’s Head of Road Freight and English Regions Policy Maddi Solloway-Price commented: “We’re delighted to have launched Best Truck Stop of the Year, working in partnership with My Truck Stop and Motorway Buddy to highlight the truck stops that are doing a fantastic job of supporting drivers.

“Drivers are the backbone of our economy, but in spite of the size of the sector there is a chronic lack of safe and secure overnight parking.

“This initiative will not only spotlight the truck stop worthy of recognition, but it will also bring attention to what matters most to drivers when they stop somewhere.”

Nominations will remain open until 31 May and can be made here: Best Truck Stop of the Year.
