Pilot Travel Center #408

What they do. Who they serve.

Pilot Travel Center #408 sits on South Amherst Highway in Amherst, Virginia, offering 24/7 fuel, parking, and CAT scale service for commercial trucks running US-29 between Lynchburg and Charlottesville. The location provides diesel and DEF pumps built for tractor-trailers, dedicated truck parking spaces, and on-site scales to keep drivers legal without detouring. Open around the clock, it serves owner-operators and fleet drivers moving freight through Central Virginia's rolling piedmont corridor. This stop works well for runs between the Mid-Atlantic and the Southeast, with direct access off 29 and room to fuel, scale, and stage for the next leg. Pilot's nationwide rewards program applies here, and the facility stocks standard road supplies. It's a straightforward fuel-and-go option for drivers who need to stay on schedule through Amherst without the amenities of a full travel plaza.
