As a team of former drivers and supply chain professionals, we’ve watched the truck parking crisis grow increasingly dire. The latest research from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) confirms what we already knew from experience – truck parking ranks as the second most pressing concern in the industry overall, and it’s the number one concern for drivers themselves.
We created Truck Parking Club because we knew there had to be a better way. While the government works on long-term solutions, truckers need help now. They’re the backbone of our supply chain, yet every day they waste precious time and fuel searching for safe places to rest. We couldn’t sit back and wait for new parking lots to be built.
Yes, there’s progress on the traditional infrastructure front, which we are in full support of. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently awarded over $292 million in grants for parking expansion, and there’s a bipartisan bill in Congress that could provide $755 million more. But here’s the reality: building new parking facilities takes years, tremendous capital investment, and navigation through endless red tape.
That’s why we took a different approach. Instead of waiting for new lots to be built, we developed technology that connects truckers with property owners who have suitable unused space for truck parking. Our platform allows drivers to instantly reserve spots, eliminating the stress and uncertainty of parking searches at the end of their day.
The industry’s proposed solutions, according to ATRI’s analysis, focus on three main approaches:
- Creating dedicated federal funding for parking expansion (supported by 35.4% of respondents)
- Reducing local regulatory barriers to building new facilities (27.4%)
- Supporting state DOT applications for federal grants (26.6%)
While these are all valuable long-term strategies, they don’t help the driver who needs a parking spot tonight. That’s where we come in. Our solution activates existing infrastructure immediately, turning underutilized spaces into valuable parking assets for the industry.
We’re not just a technology company – we’re a team that understands trucking. Our experience as drivers and supply chain professionals has shaped every aspect of our platform. We know that excellent customer service isn’t just a nice-to-have in this industry; it’s essential. That’s why we’re laser-focused on providing an outstanding experience for both drivers and property owners.
The parking shortage isn’t just about convenience – it’s a critical safety issue that affects drivers’ quality of life and their ability to comply with hours-of-service regulations. While the industry continues to push for more permanent infrastructure, we’re proud to offer an immediate solution that helps drivers today.
Our mission goes beyond just connecting drivers with parking spots. We’re working to transform the way the industry thinks about truck parking. By making better use of existing infrastructure, we can help solve this crisis faster than waiting for traditional solutions alone.
We invite property owners with suitable space and drivers in need of reliable parking to join us in this mission. Become a Property Member today!

The truck parking crisis won’t be solved overnight, but we believe that innovative solutions like ours, combined with traditional infrastructure expansion, can make a real difference. One parking spot at a time, we’re working to ensure that no driver has to worry about where they’ll safely rest at the end of their day.
