Pilot Company is growing its industry-leading network of travel centers with the opening of its newest location in Faucett, Missouri this November. The newly built Pilot Travel Center is located at the site of the former Ferris Truck Stop at exit 35 on I-29 and brings to the area a fully modernized facility that includes a Taco Bell, truck parking, spacious restrooms and showers, and a wide selection of road-ready food, beverages and gear.
