Truckers And Their July 4th Plans
We surveyed Trucker Path users on what their plans were for July 4th. Here’s what they told us.
Trucker Path Launches Fuel Discount Program
<p><em>The Trucker Path Fuel Network provides a convenient way to purchase fuel that brings substantial savings to drivers and increased sales to truck stops</em> </p> <p><strong>PHOENIX – March 29, 2023</strong> – Trucker Path, the most comprehensive and most relied upon mobile app for North American truckers, today announced the Trucker Path Fuel Network. The seamless way to buy and sell fuel via the popular app is the company’s latest offering designed to make life on the road easier and less costly for drivers. </p> <p>“With the Trucker Path Fuel Network, we are adding yet another money-saving convenience for drivers to our all-in-one app,” said Chris Oliver, CMO at Trucker Path. “With no cost to participate and no credit checks, they will easily save a substantial amount of money at participating fueling locations by using the same app they already rely upon every day. The Trucker Path Fuel Network is our latest driver-focused offering and another way we streamline and improve drivers’ daily lives. </p> <p>“But there are two sides to this equation,” Oliver added. “This program doesn’t just benefit drivers. We are also focused on helping our fuel merchant partners increase their fuel and convenience store sales by increasing their overall traffic volumes. With the enhanced exposure and promotion to the Trucker Path community of nearly one million commercial truck drivers, they will attract more customers and be able to offer them an excellent in-app purchase process that’s super convenient and easy.” </p> <p><strong>Trucker Path Fuel Network benefits for drivers include:</strong> </p> <p>• Average savings of $50 - $70 with each transaction </p> <p>• No fees to participate and no separate portals or logins </p> <p>• Access to discounts and additional convenience store promotions </p> <p>• Fuel saving coupons based on gallons purchased </p> <p>• Rewards and additional savings for referring fellow drivers </p> <p><strong>Trucker Path Fuel Network benefits for truck stops include:</strong> </p> <p>• Increased traffic for fuel and convenience store sales </p> <p>• No transaction fees </p> <p>• No-cost, in-app highlighted exposure and promotions </p> <p>• Ability to offer additional promotions for goods and services beyond fuel </p> <p>• Easily monitor competitor’s fuel prices in real time within the locations’ market area to stay competitively priced </p> <p>For Trucker Path users, locations participating in the Trucker Path Fuel Network are easily identified on the map within the Trucker Path app or by clicking the Fuel icon on the menu. Drivers can enroll in the program on the Trucker Path app simply by inputting a credit or debit card, and then reserving the amount of fuel they want to purchase. Upon arrival at a geo-fenced location, they click Redeem in the app, enter the pump number, number of gallons and begin fueling. Fuel purchases can also be made on arrival and be approved in seconds. </p> <p>Using the Trucker Path business portal for managing the program, truck stops can easily set the fuel prices they want to offer and access reporting tools to monitor the program. The portal also gives them the ability to offer additional deals on store items and other products and services they have to offer. The offers and promotions entered into the portal are made available to the community of drivers almost immediately. </p> <p>Truck stops interested in participating in the Trucker Path Fuel Network can visit <a href="https://truckerpath.com/fuel-network/">https://truckerpath.com/fuel-network/</a> for more information. Truck drivers who would like more information on how to save money on fuel can visit <a href="https://truckerpath.com/find-fuel-deals/">https://truckerpath.com/find-fuel-deals/</a>. </p> <p><strong>About Trucker Path</strong> </p> <p>Phoenix-based Trucker Path is the provider of a wide range of truck driver-centric mobility products. Its Trucker Path app is currently in use by roughly 1 million professional truck drivers. Offering best-in-class navigation with truck-optimized routing, the Trucker Path app also provides access to vital up-to-date information about truck stops, real-time available parking, fuel prices, weigh station statuses, dock wait times, and truck scales and wash locations.

Why Private Parking Lots are Attractive Options for Truck Drivers
<p>Truck drivers spend a significant amount of time on the road, driving long distances to deliver goods across the country. One of the major challenges that truck drivers face is finding safe and convenient parking spots to rest and sleep during their journeys. While public rest areas and truck stops are a great and cost-friendly option for many truck drivers, they are also often crowded, making it difficult for truckers to be able to secure a parking space, especially during busier hours. Truckers who are unable to get parking at public parking lots often park on the side of highways or onramps, which is illegal and unsafe. This lack of viable parking may prevent them from getting the rest they need to stay alert and focused on the road. </p> <p>This is where private truck parking locations come in as an excellent alternative solution for truck drivers. Many truckers may view private parking lots as a more expensive option as there is an additional cost to park in these locations. However, Ariel Golan, managing partner at <a href="https://discounttruckparking.com/">Discount Truck Parking</a>, suggests there are many advantages to parking in private lots which may make them worth the cost for truckers, including the following: </p> <p><strong>Enhanced security</strong> </p> <p>Security is a top priority for truck drivers, and private truck parking offers enhanced protection against theft, vandalism, and other security concerns that drivers might face when parking at public rest areas or on roadways and ramps. Private parking lots are usually monitored by surveillance cameras, and some even have security guards patrolling the premises. Some private lots, such as those offered by <a href="https://discounttruckparking.com/">Discount Truck Parking</a>, have a 24/7 trained lot attendant which helps with security concerns. Drivers can rest assured that their trucks and valuable cargo are safe and secure while they catch up on some much-needed rest. </p> <strong>Better rest</strong> </p> <p>Rest is essential for truck drivers to remain alert and focused while on the road. Private truck parking provides a quiet and secure environment where drivers can have a peaceful and comfortable rest without any disturbance. If drivers are concerned about security precautions when parking in public lots or on the street, they would not be able to get the peaceful rest they need. Private parking lots generally offer a serene and peaceful environment that allows drivers to rest properly, reducing the risk of accidents on the road. </p> <p><strong>Availability of amenities</strong> </p> <p>Private truck parking lots may also provide amenities, such as showering facilities, on-site mechanic shops, truck washes, Wi-Fi, and vending machines that can make life on the road more comfortable for truckers who often spend many days away from home. These amenities can help drivers feel refreshed and rejuvenated after a long day on the road. When parked at these lots, truck drivers can take a shower, grab a meal to eat, and take well-deserved breaks, making it much easier for them to manage their daily routines while on the road. </p> <p><strong>More flexible scheduling</strong> </p> <p>In some instances, with public parking lots, drivers may be limited by the hours of operation of public rest areas or other locations. Conversely, private parking lots are mostly available 24/7, providing drivers with the flexibility to park their trucks and rest whenever they need to. This flexibility allows drivers to plan their routes more efficiently, avoiding delays caused by a lack of parking spots or closed rest areas. </p> <p><strong>Reduced travel time </strong></p> <p>Public rest areas and truck stops can be very crowded, with long lines for restrooms, showers, and other facilities especially during peak hours. This can cause delays and eat into the precious time that drivers need to reach their destinations. By avoiding this congestion, drivers can save time on their routes and reach their destinations more efficiently. Private truck parking lots offer a more efficient way for drivers to rest and recharge, as they spend less time being stuck in long lines. Avoiding long lines and <p>subsequent delays increases the time they can spend driving and makes it easier for drivers to reach their destinations on time. </p> <p>In conclusion, private truck parking lots offer numerous benefits for truck drivers. With the ever-increasing demand for goods transportation and as the trucking industry continues to grow, private truck parking lots will undoubtedly become essential in providing drivers with the support they need to keep America moving. </p> <p>Private truck parking facilities can be found on the <a href="https://truckerpath.com/trucker-path-app/truck-gps/">Truck Path app</a> which also provides real-time and predictive available parking information for thousands of rest areas, truck stops and other truck-friendly parking locations throughout North America. While drivers can avoid driving to congested parking locations by merely viewing the available parking statuses on Trucker Path for locations along their route, it’s a very good bet that they’ll find parking availability at a private lot. </p> <p>Truckers can download the Trucker Path app via <a href="https://play.google.com/store/search?q=trucker%20path&c=apps">Google Play</a> or the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/trucker-path-truck-gps-maps/id782746890">Apple App Store</a> for free.

The Importance of Health Insurance for Truck Drivers
<p>Medical insurance is important and something that everyone should have, especially truck drivers. Many drivers and fleet companies have truck insurance, which covers the trucks and drivers in the case of accidents, fire, theft, and damages to other trucks. However, many companies may not offer their truckers medical insurance, which covers health, dental, vision, and other coverage for the driver and their families. </p> <p>It is important for truck drivers to have health insurance coverage right from the get-go. Besides being a necessity for most individuals, it’s especially critical for truck drivers considering the many health impacts that they are more likely to develop due to the nature of their occupation. </p> <p><strong>Different health impacts faced by truck drivers</strong> </p> <p><strong>1. Obesity</strong> </p> <p>Obesity is one of the major health concerns faced by truck drivers, as they are <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/truck/health.html">twice as likely</a> to be obese compared to other US workers. One cause is the lack of healthy food choices while on the road (we all deal with today’s huge fast-food culture). The lack of proper exercise is also another contributing factor. Truck drivers often have a sedentary lifestyle as they’re stuck in their seat for most of their day and lack the time for regular exercise. Being obese can also lead to many other related health issues, such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. </p> <p><strong>2. Respiratory issues</strong> </p> <p>The culture of smoking is extremely prevalent amongst truck drivers; they are <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/truck/health.html">twice as likely</a> to smoke compared to other US workers. Many truck drivers pick up smoking as they feel it helps them fight fatigue and boredom on the road. Combined with their continuous exposure to diesel exhaust fumes while driving, truck drivers are very likely to develop lung cancer and other respiratory issues. </p> <p><strong>3. Sleep disorders and chronic fatigue</strong> </p> <p>Truck drivers often have irregular sleep schedules due to their jobs. Their driving schedules often change depending on weather conditions and traffic. They also face tight deadlines for their deliveries, often requiring late nights or early mornings. This impacts their rest and can lead to chronic fatigue in the long run. Furthermore, the inconsistency of their sleep schedules can also lead to sleep disorders including insomnia and, when coupled with obesity, sleep apnea. </p> <p><strong>Importance of health insurance for truck drivers</strong> </p> <p>Being away from home more times than not and constantly being on road makes it difficult for truck drivers to schedule regular doctor appointments to check up on their health. Furthermore, many of those without employer health insurance believe it is too expensive and can’t fit it in their budget, thinking they will put it off for another time in the future. In many cases, drivers wait too long to get their health issues checked and get stuck with expensive medical bills. </p> <p>With proper medical insurance which covers health, dental, and vision, truck drivers can be more comfortable going to the doctor to get checked when they experience any medical issues. Having insurance encourages truck drivers to take care of their health and can reduce the number of accidents that may occur on the road. </p> <p>Furthermore, for truck drivers, their job stability is quite dependent on their health; if they get a medical condition that impacts their ability to drive, they may lose their job or income. With proper health insurance, truck drivers can be more encouraged to keep up with their wellbeing and ensure they are healthy enough to keep driving and maintaining their livelihood. </p> <p>Business solutions, such as <a href="https://go.tafs.com/l/166742/2022-09-02/5gdg55">factoring</a> and <a href="https://www.atbs.com/trucker-path">accounting</a>, are important for truckers to have, but medical insurance and their health should be a priority. Trucker Path recently announced a partnership with nationally licensed insurance company Smart and Simple Insurance Development (SASid). This <a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/trucker-path-and-sasid-partner-to-offer-reduced-rate-insurance/">partnership</a> aims to make the lives of American truck drivers easier by bringing them a range of affordable insurance options. </p> <p>For affordable health insurance options for truckers, <a href="https://www.smartandsimple.com/partners/trucker-path/">click here</a>. </p>
