Service stations and truck stops are the lifeblood of our roads and an absolute godsend if you’re a trucker. As HGV insurance specialists, we know how important it is for drivers to  nd a decent truck stop for a well-earned break or to  nish their shift, so we’ve compiled a list of our top choice truck stops for you to enjoy.
Formula Services

This place really must be seen to be believed. It has everything a trucker would need and more. The interior of the place has a Ferrari red design throughout and includes everything from a games room, personal media pods to
a  tness suite. Formula services is a no public truck stop that also has outdoor facilities such as the truck wash and fuel, it even has free massage chairs inside.

Media pods Training/Meeting room Lounge
Chippenham Pit Stop
M4 Junction 14
Chippenham Pit Stop won the Truck Stop of
the Year for 2017 and it’s easy to see why. The facilities on offer are second to none, the showers and toilets have under oor heating and they even have a barber shop on site. The favourite with most truckers is The Goods Yard, which is a great place to chill out either in front of the log burner or with a drink watching BT Sport. The Draycot Stores is the on-site shop and has a
large truck life section, but most people come for the fresh pies sourced from the local butcher.
Facilities include: On-site barber shop Training/Meeting room Outside  tness facilities Car Parking

J38 Services – M6 North of Junction
38/M6 Junction 38
Junction 38 (J38) is a fantastic truck stop
in the heart of the beautiful Cumbrian countryside. This truck stop opened in 1986 following the success of Tebay northbound and has maintained the Westmorland family traditions of supplying locally sourced produce and freshly made products. J38 has a bar that’s open until 10:30pm weekdays as well
as the kitchen and shop. The overnight stay
is one of the best in terms of value for money starting at £13 which includes a £2 food voucher and a free shower, so if you haven’t any breakdown insurance, then J38 will certainly cut your costs down if you need to wait for recovery overnight. Tebay Services
is also near and for those driving unsociable
hours, it has a 24-hour quick kitchen available. They also offer a butchery, delicatessen, patisserie and even a barbecue in the summer, so make sure you bring your deck chairs.

up 300 litres of AdBlue the guys at Route 74 will make sure you get a well-deserved brew. Route 74 is a cosy truck stop south of Glasgow and has everything including TV’s, free Wi-Fi and a very well stocked 24-7 convenience store. But the best thing must be the carvery in the Wheelers restaurant.
