Pilot Travel Center #481

What they do. Who they serve.

Pilot Travel Center #481 serves Wilmington's southeast corridor on Carolina Beach Road, delivering 24/7 fuel, parking, and scales for drivers working coastal North Carolina freight or running I-40 connections. The location offers diesel and DEF islands, secure overnight truck parking, and certified CAT scales so you can weigh, fuel, and rest without doubling back. Open around the clock every day, the plaza supports routes between Wilmington's port activity and inland distribution points along the US 117 and I-40 corridors. This stop works well for drivers hauling to the Cape Fear region or staging for early morning coastal deliveries. With a 4.1-star rating across more than 900 reviews, owner-operators and fleet drivers rely on the facility for straightforward service and dependable access when other options thin out south of the metro.
