When TruETA plans trips, it generates suggested Rest Stops from one stop event to the next. Rest stops are locations where you can park and take a break or rest (including the 34-hour reset).

You can add rest stops to planned trips as needed.

To add a rest stop:

  1. Load the Trip Planner screen.

  2. Determine where you want to add the rest stop and tap Add Rest Stop.
    In this example, the rest stop will be added between the Rest Stop in Jacksonville, FL and the Love’s #206 rest stop in Loxley, AL.
