Last updated: 2026. Amenities change - always confirm current hours and services before you rely on a stop, especially overnight.
Anyone who runs the 401 knows the feeling: it's past midnight, your hours are nearly up, the fuel light is nagging, and you're trying to remember which stop ahead actually has open parking and a working shower. Ontario's corridor between Windsor and the Quebec border is one of the busiest freight routes in North America, and a good stop at the right moment can turn a rough shift into a manageable one.
We put together this guide to the best 24-hour truck stops along Ontario's Highways 401 and 400 - the ones drivers actually rely on for parking, fuel, showers, food, scales and Wi-Fi. We've grouped them roughly west to east so you can plan a run across the province in one glance.
What makes a truck stop worth pulling into?
Not every fuel station is a real stop. When we rated the places below, we looked for the things that matter on a long shift:
- Real overnight parking - enough spaces that you're not circling at 1 a.m.
- Showers - clean, available, ideally free with a fuel fill.
- 24/7 food - a sit-down restaurant or at least a Tim Hortons that never closes.
- Diesel lanes and DEF - enough lanes that you're not waiting behind five trucks.
- A CAT Scale - so you can confirm your weight before a scale house catches it.
- Wi-Fi and a driver's lounge - for paperwork, dispatch and a few minutes off your feet.
Western Ontario (Windsor to London)
1. Flying J Travel Plaza - London (Exit 189, Highbury Ave)
If you only memorize one stop in the southwest, make it this one. The London Flying J is one of the largest stops on the entire corridor, with around 200 parking spaces, roughly a dozen diesel lanes, and well over a dozen showers. There's a Denny's on site, plenty of DEF, and the volume of parking means you can usually find a spot even arriving late. It's a natural overnight anchor if you're staging for a morning delivery into the GTA.
2. Flying J Travel Plaza - Tilbury (Exit 56, near Windsor)
Heading to or from the Windsor-Detroit border, Tilbury is the logical reset point. Expect around 100 parking spaces, six diesel lanes, six showers and a Subway, plus DEF and a CAT Scale. It's far enough from the border crush to actually find parking, and a sensible place to weigh before you cross. If you run cross-border regularly, it's worth brushing up on the rules first - we break them down in our guide to headset laws for truckers in Canada and the USA.
3. Woodstock Travel Stop - Harnois Energies (Exit 230)
One of the newest big additions to the corridor, the Woodstock Travel Stop is built American-style - large-format and genuinely driver-focused. It runs 12 diesel lanes, a CAT Scale, modern laundry, and 14 private showers (including facilities reserved for women drivers). There's a dedicated truckers' lounge and even a movie theatre for downtime. On-site mechanical service handles tires, maintenance and safety inspections, so it's a strong choice if you need repairs without losing a day.
Greater Toronto Area (Cambridge to the 400 split)
4. Flying J Travel Plaza - Cambridge (Exit 268, Cedar Creek Rd)
A reliable mid-corridor stop right before the GTA squeeze. Around 30 truck spaces, seven diesel lanes and four showers, with hot food from Papa Joe's during the day. It's a good spot to top off and grab a shower before parking gets scarce closer to Toronto.
5. Husky Travel Centre - Mississauga (Exit 346, Shawson Dr)
This is the big one inside the GTA, and it fills up fast for good reason. The Shawson Drive Husky runs about 120 parking spaces, a 24/7 store, around a dozen showers, a trucker lounge, the Husky House Restaurant, on-site laundry, Wi-Fi and a truck wash. If you're delivering into Mississauga or Brampton, this is the obvious base - but get there early, because every driver in the area knows about it.
6. Husky Travel Centre - Mississauga (Exit 344, Kennedy Rd)
A solid backup if Shawson Drive is packed. Around 60 spaces with a restaurant, ATM, laundry, scales, a travel store and a truck wash. Being a few exits over, it sometimes has room when the bigger Husky is full.
Highway 400 corridor (heading north)
7. Husky Travel Centre - Highway 400 & 88 (Exit 64, near Bradford)
If you're running north toward Barrie and beyond, this is the main 400-corridor stop. Roughly 40 parking spaces, a 24/7 store, four diesel lanes, two showers, the Husky House Restaurant, ATM and a FedEx point. It's not huge, so plan your timing if you need overnight parking.
Eastern Ontario (Belleville to the Quebec border)
8. 10 Acre Truck Stop (K2) - Belleville (Exit 538, Wallbridge-Loyalist Rd)
One of Canada's oldest and largest truck stops, recently acquired and upgraded by K2 Petroleum. It offers eight diesel lanes, EV charging, a truck wash, tire and repair shop, free parking, a CAT Scale, showers, laundry, a driver's lounge, a restaurant, Tim Hortons, Wi-Fi and ATMs. For eastbound runs toward Montreal, this is a comfortable place to break for the night.
9. Exit 611 Truckstop & Travel Plaza - Cornwall area (Exit 611, Centennial Dr)
Deep east on the 401, this plaza is a favourite before the Quebec line. Around 80 parking spaces, a 24/7 store, six diesel lanes, a dozen showers, Tim Hortons, laundry and CAT Scales. Plenty of room and full amenities make it a dependable last stop in Ontario.
10. Angelo's Travel Stop - near Cardinal (Exit 721, Rooney Rd)
An independent stop with a loyal following on the far-eastern stretch. About 100 parking spaces, a 24/7 store, four diesel lanes, three showers, Angelo's Restaurant, CAT Scales and a trucker lounge. A good alternative if the chains are full as you approach the border.
A note on ONroute service centres
You'll also pass ONroute centres all along the 400 and 401 - there are more than 20 across the two highways. They're great for a quick coffee, a washroom, fuel and brand-name food (Tim Hortons, A&W, Swiss Chalet), and several have expanded their truck parking in recent years. They're not full truck stops with showers and scales everywhere, but for a fast, clean break they're hard to beat - and they're consistently open 24/7.
Staying connected between stops
The stops above keep you fuelled, fed and rested. The hours in between are where the job actually gets done - and most of that time you're on the phone with dispatch, brokers, family and the next shipper. Doing that safely and hands-free isn't just smart, it's the law in Ontario - something we cover in detail in our post on whether Bluetooth headsets are legal for truckers in Ontario.
That's where a proper trucker headset earns its keep. The LDAS TH11 Bluetooth trucker headset is built for exactly this kind of driving: a noise-cancelling boom mic that cuts engine, wind and tire roar so dispatch hears you clearly the first time, all-day battery life that gets you from one stop to the next without charging, and multi-device pairing so you can switch between your phone and the truck's Bluetooth without missing a call. If you want the full breakdown, read our full TH11 review and who it's best for, or see why it's our top pick in the best headset for truckers who talk to dispatch all day. Pull into the stop, grab your shower and your coffee, and get back on the road knowing every call comes through clean.
Plan your run, stop smart
Ontario's corridor has come a long way - between the big chains, the new large-format travel stops and the ONroute network, there are more safe, well-equipped places to stop than there were even a few years ago. Save this guide, match the stops to your route, and time your breaks before parking gets tight. Drive safe out there.
Amenities, hours and parking counts change over time and during construction. Confirm current details with each location before relying on it, especially for overnight parking.
