Pilot has released a redesigned version of its mobile app, stating that the update is intended to make everyday stops easier and faster for drivers while consolidating the company’s digital tools under one consistent experience.
According to Pilot, the refreshed app is part of a broader effort to align how drivers interact with the brand across fuel locations, in-store services, and online platforms. The update follows recent changes to Pilot’s website and mobile ordering tools, all aimed at reducing friction for drivers planning their stops.
“Every journey is better with a wingman, and the Pilot app is built to be that trusted companion,” says Kari Irons, vice president of marketing and brand at Pilot. “Together with mobile ordering and our redesigned website, we’re connecting the dots across the entire digital experience so drivers can plan, save time, and enjoy more rewarding stops with Pilot.”
What Drivers Will Notice in the Updated App
The pilot says the new version of the app has been redesigned with a clearer layout and fewer steps, allowing drivers to find what they need more quickly while on the road. The company describes the interface as simpler and more personalized, with performance improvements meant to reduce load times and delays.
Features highlighted by Pilot include:
- A cleaner and more intuitive layout
- Personalization based on travel needs
- Faster access to rewards, offers, and app features
- Improved reliability and security
The company says these changes are intended to make the app easier to navigate during busy travel days and reduce the time drivers spend managing stops.
One Profile for Professional and Personal Travel
One of the more practical changes for drivers is the addition of flexible driver profiles. With the updated app, users can now switch between a professional driver profile and an auto driver profile without needing multiple accounts.
Pilot says this allows drivers to access amenities, offers, and rewards whether they are working or traveling off duty, all from a single login. The goal, according to the company, is to reduce account management headaches and keep everything in one place.
Website Updates, Support the App Changes
Alongside the app update, Pilot also recently introduced a redesigned website at PilotCompany.com. The site features a refreshed layout and simplified navigation designed to help users plan fuel stops, check location amenities, and reserve showers and parking.
Pilot positions the app and website updates as connected tools rather than standalone improvements, with both designed to support trip planning before arrival and smoother experiences once drivers reach a location.
A Continued Push Toward Digital Convenience
For drivers and fleet stakeholders, Pilot’s app update reflects a broader trend across the travel center industry toward faster digital tools that support trip planning, reduce time spent waiting, and make stops more predictable.
While the company frames the redesign as part of brand consistency, the practical takeaway for drivers is a more streamlined app experience built around everyday needs on the road, from planning to managing rewards and services in fewer steps.
