Trusted Partners for Drivers

“For decades, Shell Rotella has been a trusted name in trucking,” said Evan Shelley, co-founder & CEO of TPC. “From products that provide strong engine protection to iconic events like Shell Rotella SuperRigs, they consistently support truck drivers. We’re proud to partner with Shell to put Truck Parking Club Cash directly in drivers’ hands – helping them park safely, legally, and efficiently.”

How the Promotion Works

Truckers who get a qualifying Shell Rotella T5 or T6 Synthetic Blend or Full Synthetic oil change at a participating service location can earn up to $100 in Truck Parking Club Cash. To redeem, drivers simply submit their receipt at rotella.com/nightonus. The cash can then be used at any of Truck Parking Club’s 4,200+ locations nationwide.

“Truck drivers rely on Shell Rotella to help keep their engines running strong mile after mile, and we’re always looking for ways to support them on the road,” said Julie Wright, Shell Rotella brand manager. “Through the Night on Us promotion, we’re proud to partner with Truck Parking Club to help drivers access safe, reliable parking.”

Promotion Timeline

Why This Matters for Truck Drivers

Parking safely isn’t just about convenience, it’s about compliance, rest, and peace of mind. With Truck Parking Club Cash in hand, drivers can plan stops without worrying about legality or availability. Combining trusted Shell Rotella oil services with this parking benefit puts both equipment and driver needs first.

“Truckers are an essential part of the workforce, and we know their time is valuable, both on the road and off,” said Angie Gadwood, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at Wyndham. “With the launch of Recharge with Wyndham, we’re helping drivers put their safety and rest first while making it easier than ever to build up points toward their next free stay—whether that’s a weekend away with the family or an overnight pitstop as they ready for the journey ahead.”

Prioritizing Rest for Truckers

Truckers in the U.S. and Canada play a vital role in supply chains, but ensuring adequate rest is critical, as mandated by hours-of-service regulations. These require truckers to take a 34-hour or 36-hour reset, respectively, to recharge for the week ahead.

Through Recharge with Wyndham, drivers have access to:

• Double Wyndham Rewards Points on every qualified stay, which can earn up to two free nights annually.

• Wyndham Rewards Gold Membership, offering perks like room upgrades, late checkout, and more.

• Thousands of hotels globally under trusted brands including Days Inn by Wyndham, Super 8 by Wyndham, and La Quinta by Wyndham, ensuring there’s a convenient option just around the corner.

“When it’s time to rest, they need more than just a place to sleep—they need comfort, convenience, and value,” Wyndham stated in its official announcement.

Additional Savings via Hotels4Truckers

Wyndham has teamed up with Hotels4Truckers to enhance the benefits for truck drivers further. Drivers who book through the Hotels4Truckers platform (via the website or mobile app) can enjoy 15% off the best available rate on qualified stays for a limited time (terms and conditions apply).

The Hotels4Truckers platform offers added convenience by enabling drivers to search for and book over 2,000 Wyndham properties that are specifically designed to accommodate tractor-trailers up to 75 feet in length. Additionally, drivers can still take full advantage of their Recharge by Wyndham perks, such as double points and exclusive rewards.

“After a long day on the road, it’s time to refuel more than just the truck,” said Dan Fuller, president and founder of Hotels4Truckers. “With Wyndham, Hotels4Truckers members can recharge with a comfortable place to stay that doesn’t break the bank. Even better? With points, status, parking, easy bookings, and more, their stays go further, making life on the road easier and my time off more rewarding.”

Unlocking Access to Recharge with Wyndham

To start benefiting from the Recharge with Wyndham program, drivers or their companies need to secure a pre-negotiated rate with Wyndham. From there, enrollment is easy:

1. Visit WyndhamBusiness.com to set up an account.
2. Once registered, visit WyndhamRewards.com/Truckers to activate your Recharge benefits.

Wyndham’s Recharge program is yet another way the company is demonstrating its commitment to supporting one of the most vital yet underappreciated professions. By offering truckers a way to rest, save, and earn rewards, Wyndham is making life on the road just a little bit easier for those who keep the world moving.
