Pilot Travel Center #281

What they do. Who they serve.

Pilot Travel Center #281 sits just off Interstate 70 at Highway W in Foristell, Missouri, roughly 40 miles west of St. Louis along one of the nation's busiest east-west freight corridors. Open around the clock, this location offers diesel fuel, ample truck parking, and certified scales for drivers running loads between Kansas City and the Gateway City. The full driver lounge provides a place to rest between runs, and the site's position near the I-70/I-64 interchange makes it a practical fuel-and-break stop for long-haul and regional fleets alike. With nearly 500 reviews and a 3.8-star rating, Pilot #281 serves as a straightforward, no-frills stop for drivers who need fuel, a weight check, and a place to park before pushing on toward Illinois or Kansas.
