Pilot Travel Center #353

What they do. Who they serve.

Pilot Travel Center #353 sits on State Route 152 in Santa Nella, California, a critical stop for trucks running between the Bay Area and the Central Valley along the I-5 corridor. Open around the clock, this location offers 24/7 diesel fueling, ample truck parking, and the reliability drivers expect from the Pilot Flying J network. Santa Nella's position just west of Merced makes it a natural staging point for teams hauling produce, freight to the ports, or loads headed south toward the Grapevine. The facility serves the steady flow of commercial traffic moving through California's agricultural heartland, providing a dependable refuel and rest option before the next leg. Whether you're deadheading back to the valley or making a fuel stop between the coast and I-5, this Pilot handles the basics that keep long-haul operations moving.
