Key takeaways
- Women In Motion and Trucker Path recognize top truck stops meeting seven safety and comfort criteria for women drivers.
- Lighted parking, security, and facility access remain key factors based on input from women drivers.

The American Trucking Associations (ATA) Women In Motion (WIM) Council and Trucker Path recently revealed the top three women-friendly truck stops that meet all seven WIM criteria and rank highest based on app user ratings. The company, which focuses on connecting drivers with real-time truck stop and routing information through its platform, has integrated WIM-friendly amenity tracking into its app to support driver decision-making.
The WIM criteria are based on input from women drivers and include lighted parking, lighted bathroom access, lighted lounge areas, lighted showers, lighted laundry facilities, 24/7 maintenance, and on-site security.
Here are the top women-friendly truck stops:
- Compass Travel Center in DeMotte, Indiana
- Garden Inn Truck Plaza in Mound City, Missouri
- Talent Truck Stop in Talent, Oregon
Since 2024, Trucker Path has enabled drivers to search for WIM-friendly amenities within its platform. More than 12,000 truck stops have added at least one WIM-identified amenity, and nearly 250 offer all seven.
“Expanding the number of places where women drivers can safely stop and rest while on the road has been a key focus for WIM,” Nikki Thomas, ATA VP of industry affairs, stated. “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.”
