Pilot Travel Center Waukee

What they do. Who they serve.

Pilot Travel Center Waukee operates 24/7 just west of Des Moines off I-80 and I-35, serving trucks running the central Iowa freight corridor between Omaha and Chicago. The facility offers diesel fuel, dedicated truck parking, and round-the-clock access for drivers hauling through the Des Moines metro or staging loads to the Midwest distribution hubs. Located in the Clive and Urbandale area along Hickman Road and Douglas Avenue, this Pilot Flying J anchors the west metro truck stop cluster where I-80 and I-35 converge. Parking availability and fuel access make it a practical choice for owner-operators and fleet drivers needing a reliable pullover before crossing Iowa or continuing east into Illinois. The stop handles steady commercial traffic year-round, particularly during harvest season and holiday freight surges when capacity at metro-area facilities runs tight.
