Questions

Is this an official list?
No. No government publishes a list of private truck stops. This one comes from OpenStreetMap, the open map maintained by volunteers, so check hours and services before you rely on a stop.
Where can I take my rest break?
Heavy vehicle rest areas from the state road agencies are listed separately under truck rest areas. Rest counts as stationary rest when you are out of the vehicle or in an approved sleeper berth of the stationary vehicle.
Why is a roadhouse missing?
It may not be mapped as selling fuel to heavy vehicles yet. Anyone can add it at openstreetmap.org.
