About Us
Road Life Publications is a company dedicated to helping highway travelers
identify "park-able" truck and travel plazas in a quick and efficient manner.
We focus on listing facilities in sequential order as they exist along the
highways.
We developed the Pocket Truck Stop Guide out of sheer necessity back in
1997 when we got frustrated at not being able to quickly identify where the
next "trucker friendly" exits were. When you're traveling down the road at
70mph, in a 65' long rig that weighs up to 80,000 lbs.(or more), you can't just
pull off anywhere. Most of the directories we used back then were usually
lost somewhere back in the "sleeper" and alphabetical so, all too often, we
would find ourselves asking other drivers on the CB radio if they knew
where a truck stop was. And, of course, many times they came back with
wise cracks like "If it was up your a&& you'd know".
We decided what the industry needed was a small and inexpensive
directory that would list facilities by exit and/or mile marker. Since, in addition
to trucking, we had extensive sales and marketing experience as well as
experience in printing, media and design, we kind of felt like it was meant to
be and, thus, we came off the road for six months and created this handy
little guide.
Today, several hundred thousand drivers and highway travelers rely on the
Pocket Truck Stop Guide to help them plan their stops each day and we are
carried by some of the biggest names in the industry (Barjan, DAS
Distributors,
J.J. Keller, Werner, Schneider, Pilot Travel Centers, Love's, Iowa 80 and
hundreds of others across the nation.
We use extensive lists, the Internet and several other sources to update our
book on a regular basis. PLUS, we have a toll free number with a dedicated
extension exclusively for drivers to advise us of necessary changes we
need to make. These are then compiled and incorporated into each
subsequent edition.
The Pocket Truck Stop Guide is proof that big things really do come in small
packages.
