Merritt — Petro-Canada Voght Street Highway 5A Fuel

Merritt sits at the crossroads of Highway 5 (Coquihalla) and Highway 5A through the Nicola Valley, making it a natural choke point for rigs heading north toward Kamloops, east toward the Okanagan, or south toward Manning Park. This Petro-Canada on Voght Street is a proper truck-stop-style setup — diesel at the pump, decent convenience store, and enough parking to turn a loaded trailer around without drama. It’s the kind of stop that works when you need a top-off before diving into backcountry roads where the next fuel is 200 km away.

Cell service is full here. The town has a Canadian Tire, a Walmart, and several fast food options if you’re doing a full resupply. If you’re running the Coquihalla Summit area or heading into the Nicola Plateau backcountry, this is your last comfortable bail-out point. Verify current hours before arriving late — small-town hours can vary seasonally.
