The Weekly Spot Drop: 694 New Spaces Across 31 States
Welcome back to The Weekly Spot Drop. Every Monday, we break down the truck parking spaces that came online at Truck Parking Club the week before. Where they are. How many. Who put them on the map.
Let’s get into it.
Last Week by the Numbers
694 spaces added
70 new locations
31 states
That brings Truck Parking Club to 5,276 locations and 81,676 total spaces across the country. The largest reservable truck parking network in the United States.
Illinois had a huge week with new locations in Rockford, Matteson, East St Louis, and Elmhurst. New Jersey added locations in Parsippany-Troy Hills, Keasbey, Woodbridge Township, and Egg Harbor Township. Texas saw new spots in Iowa Park, Porter, Fredericksburg, Harker Heights, Stafford, Marion, and San Antonio.
A Few Standouts
Keasbey, New Jersey: 30 spaces in a single location
694 more spaces drivers can now reserve in advance. Backed by 24/7 member service staffed by former truckers.
America is short 1.7 million truck parking spaces. The shortage costs the industry over $100 billion a year. New construction takes years and runs $100K to $200K per space.
We’re solving it differently. The supply already exists. Trucking companies, repair shops, warehouses, CDL schools, towing yards, dealerships, empty commercial lots. Property owners with extra dock doors and unused yard space who didn’t know they could turn it into income.
Last week, 70 of them found out.
Got Space? Get Paid.
If you own commercial property with unused yard space or extra dock doors, you’re sitting on income. No upfront costs. No long-term contracts. We handle bookings, payments, member service, and signage. You set the rates and availability.
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance announced that this year’s International Roadcheck will run May 12 through 14, a 72-hour enforcement push across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Known across the industry as Blitz Week, it is the largest targeted commercial vehicle enforcement program in the world.
During the 72-hour window, CVSA-certified inspectors at weigh stations, permanent inspection sites, and temporary pop-up locations will primarily run the North American Standard Level I Inspection. That’s a 37-step procedure covering both the driver and the vehicle. On average, nearly 15 commercial vehicles are inspected every minute across North America during Roadcheck. Since the program launched in 1988, more than 1.8 million inspections have been logged.
Each year CVSA highlights one driver violation category and one vehicle violation category. For 2026, the driver focus is ELD tampering, falsification, or manipulation. Inspectors will be reviewing records of duty status with closer attention than usual, looking for false entries, manipulated logs, edits without proper notation, and anything that suggests driving time was concealed. They can review up to eight days of logs, and drivers using a revoked ELD will be placed out of service. Last year, falsification of record of duty status was the second most-cited driver violation, with over 58,000 violations issued.
The 2026 vehicle focus is cargo securement. Improperly secured cargo is a major roadway hazard, and CVSA is putting it under the microscope this year. In 2025, more than 18,000 violations were issued for cargo not being secured to prevent leaking, spilling, blowing, or falling, and another 16,000+ for vehicle components or dunnage not being secured. Inspectors will check that cargo is contained, immobilized, and secured. The general rule: your securement system needs to meet at least half the total weight of the load in working load limit. That applies to flatbeds, but also to dry vans, tankers, and equipment hauls.
Whatever your plan is for next week, plan ahead. Inspections take time. Even a clean Level I can eat an hour or more of your clock, and stacked across three days the HOS math gets tight fast. Wait times at scales spike. Out-of-service violations carry downstream costs beyond the immediate downtime, affecting CSA scores and insurance. And parking demand spikes across major freight corridors as drivers and small fleets adjust their schedules around the 72-hour window.
Whether you’re running through it, parking it out, or want a backup spot in case you get pulled in for a long inspection, parking should be part of the plan. Truck Parking Club has 82,000+ spaces across 5,200+ locations in 49 states, with hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly bookings reservable in seconds. Code blitz26 takes $20 off any booking through May 17.
Blitz Week is 72 hours, but the issues inspectors are focused on get enforced every day of the year. The smart play isn’t to prepare for Blitz Week, it’s to operate Blitz-ready year-round. For the next three days, just expect the volume and the stakes to be higher than usual.
Plan your routes, plan your hours, and plan your parking.
America has a truck parking problem. Drivers need 2.4 million parking spots for federally mandated rest breaks every day. There are only 697,000 available. That 1.7 million space gap costs the trucking industry $100 billion a year in wasted fuel, lost productivity, and supply chain disruption.
But here’s what most people miss: this isn’t a capacity problem. There are over 23 million parking spaces across the country that could accommodate a commercial truck. 98% of them sit on private property, closed off to the drivers who need them most.
The solution isn’t building more truck stops. It’s unlocking the spaces that already exist. And the single best place to start? Warehouses.
Drivers Want to Park Where They Pick Up and Deliver
Every driver knows the routine. You pick up a load at a warehouse, drive it across the state or across the country, and deliver it to another warehouse. The shipper and receiver are almost always operating out of warehouse and distribution facilities.
Drivers want to park as close to those locations as possible. If they’re picking up a load at 6 AM, they want to be parked nearby the night before, not 30 miles away at a truck stop hoping their alarm gets them there on time. If they deliver early and have hours left on their clock, they want to shut down close to where they just dropped, not burn fuel and HOS hours hunting for a spot.
That’s why parking at or near warehouses isn’t just convenient. It’s operationally optimal. It eliminates the single biggest source of wasted time and money in a driver’s day.
The Positioning Advantage
Warehouses sit where the freight is. Some are the shippers and receivers themselves, with drivers coming directly to their docks every day. Others are in the same industrial parks, logistics corridors, and distribution zones where that freight activity is concentrated.
Either way, a warehouse that lists truck parking has a massive positioning advantage. Drivers picking up or delivering nearby don’t want to park 30 miles away at a truck stop. They want to park where they already are. A warehouse with available spaces in a logistics district instantly becomes the most desirable parking option for every driver operating within a few miles.
These properties are already built for truck traffic. The roads handle 80,000-pound vehicles. The lots are paved or graveled for heavy equipment. The turning radii accommodate 53-foot trailers. New dedicated truck parking construction runs $100,000 to $200,000 per space and takes years to build. Warehouses skip all of that. Just existing space, put to productive use.
Hundreds of Warehouses Already List With Truck Parking Club
This isn’t theoretical. Hundreds of warehouse operators across the country already list parking with Truck Parking Club. Some list a single extra dock door or a strip of unused yard space. Others list hundreds of spaces across multiple facilities. There’s no minimum size requirement. If you have room for one truck, that’s enough to get started.
The Revenue Opportunity for Warehouse Owners
Empty yard space earns nothing. Every night it sits unused is revenue that’s gone forever. You can’t sell last night’s parking the way you can’t sell yesterday’s hotel room.
Warehouse owners who list with Truck Parking Club turn dead space into a consistent revenue stream with zero upfront cost, no long-term contracts, and no operational burden. Truck Parking Club handles everything: marketing, bookings, payments, customer service, even free signage and app-based gate access.
We have warehouse locations on the platform earning six figures per year. Your results will depend on where you’re located, how many spaces you list, and the demand in your area, but the opportunity is real and the earnings are proven. Warehouses in high-traffic freight corridors and near major distribution hubs consistently perform among the top-earning locations on the platform.
Logistics Parks Are Ground Zero
The highest-value warehouse parking locations sit inside logistics parks and distribution clusters. These are the zones where Amazon, Walmart, FedEx, UPS, and thousands of regional distributors concentrate their operations. Hundreds or thousands of trucks flow through these areas daily. Drivers delivering to one facility and picking up at another need somewhere to park between appointments.
A single warehouse listing inside a logistics park doesn’t just serve the drivers coming to that property. It serves every driver operating within that entire cluster. The demand density in these zones is enormous, and the supply of safe, legal, reservable parking is almost nonexistent.

At Truck Parking Club, we love sharing stories of Property Members who’ve found success in the truck parking industry. Today, we’re excited to spotlight Adam Tello, COO and Partner at ALC Investment Group, whose journey from nutrition store owner to truck parking entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring. In our latest podcast episode, Andrew Jones (VP of Property Member Optimization) sits down with Adam to discuss how he built a truck parking empire from the ground up.
The Unexpected Pivot: How a Customer Invoice Changed Everything
Adam’s story begins in an unlikely place—a nutrition store in Arizona. After playing Division I football at ASU and losing 80 pounds, Adam developed a passion for helping others with health and fitness. He ran his nutrition business for eight years before the rise of social media and Amazon made competition increasingly difficult.
That’s when fate intervened. Manny, a longtime customer who had been coming to Adam’s store for eight years, invited him to his office in Norco, California. During their visit, someone brought Manny an invoice for a storage yard, and the lightbulb went off.
“Once I seen the invoice, I was like, well, what is the storage yard?” Adam recalls. “He explained what it was, and that’s when kind of our light bulbs went off and like, well, let’s just do this together.”
Divine Intervention and Rapid Growth
What happened next sounds like something out of a movie. While driving through Ontario, California, Adam felt a divine calling to knock on someone’s door and offer money for their property. He followed that calling, and within 14 months, ALC Investment Group had grown from one location to seven locations.
The key to their success? Identifying a gap in the market. “Manny kind of clarified that there was a lack of care when it came to storage yards,” Adam explains. “A lack of service when it came to the customers being responsive, knowing, having the proper security, the proper lighting and all those other things.”
The Truck Parking Club Partnership: A Game-Changer
Adam was one of Truck Parking Club’s earliest adopters, joining when the platform had only seven locations. Today, he describes the partnership as transformative for his business.
“Truck Parking Club makes it so easy,” Adam says. “As long as you have the dirt, as long as you have the amenities, you’re going to find the customers. Every day I’m getting 30, 40 text messages a day—new booking, new booking, new booking, expired booking, expired booking.”
The platform handles everything from marketing and customer acquisition to payment processing and security notifications. “You have five different jobs that you’re doing on a daily basis,” Adam explains. “What I mean you guys are doing for us, right? So Truck Parking Club makes it so easy.”
Beyond Basic Parking: Evolving Amenities
What sets ALC Investment Group apart is their commitment to continuous improvement. Starting with basic dirt lots, fencing, and lighting, they’re now working on facilities that include:
Driver amenity lounges and showers
Office space for rent
EV charging stations
Mechanic shops and tire shops
“We pride ourselves on how can we get better,” Adam says. “How can we evolve? How do we offer more for our customers? Obviously starting with just bare dirt was awesome, right? And the fencing, the lighting, all that stuff. But it’s like, how do we evolve and continue to offer more for our customers?”
The Truck Parking Advantage: Consistency and Customer Quality
One of the most surprising aspects of Adam’s journey has been the quality of his truck parking customers. Contrary to common misconceptions, he’s found truck drivers to be some of the best customers he’s ever had in real estate.
“These are all hardworking Americans that are on the road, that are away from their families that just want a place to stay,” Adam explains. “Have we had some instances? Maybe a guy maybe scraping another one. Obviously that’s kind of inevitable, but that’s why you have the security, the lights, cameras.”
The revenue consistency is another major advantage. “When it comes to fleet deals, you can get 20, 30 units, but you can lose them in a month, right? Whereas with truck parking, it’s pretty consistent. Those guys are going to stay in those slots as long as you allow them to.”
Advice for Newcomers: Location, Hard Work, and Customer Service
For anyone considering entering the truck parking business, Adam offers three key pieces of advice:
Choose the Right Location: “Look at up-and-coming communities that are growing at a rapid rate where there’s heavy industrial coming in. Location is key, and when you’re by warehouses and in those heavy industrial areas where there’s communities right next to it, that’s a great place to be.”
Be Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty: “Don’t be afraid of getting dirty. Don’t be afraid of getting out there and building relationships. When we opened that first yard, we were on the rollers, we were in the trenches, we were setting up fences and doing a whole bunch of stuff.”
Deliver on Your Promises: “You have to deliver the service that you say you’re going to deliver. You are going to make mistakes along the way, but that’s part of the learning process and part of being an entrepreneur.”
The Future: One-Stop-Shop Solutions
Looking ahead, Adam sees the future of truck parking as creating comprehensive, one-stop-shop solutions for drivers. “I think creating more of a one-stop-shop solution for these drivers is the key and the future of staying in this business and staying ahead.”
His approach to growth is humble and opportunistic. “I just take it as it comes. If opportunities come to me, then obviously I take advantage of them. I like problem solving. Yes, I go hunt when it’s needed, but the Lord has been in my favor and he’s brought a lot of opportunities my way.”
A Testament to Partnership and Growth
Adam’s story demonstrates the power of strategic partnerships and the untapped potential in the truck parking industry. From his early days as Truck Parking Club’s eighth location to now approaching six figures monthly in revenue, his journey shows what’s possible when property owners combine quality facilities with the right technology platform.
“At the end of the day, the partnership between ALC and Truck Parking Club has been amazing,” Adam reflects. “We started off with the onesie, twosie booking, and now we’re getting fleet deals and approaching six figures a month with you guys.”

When Tyler M. from WaKeeney, KS found himself scrolling through Facebook one day, he discovered Truck Parking Club and realized it was the perfect opportunity to put his strategic location to work. Born and raised in the oil field and operating equipment his entire life, Tyler had built T-MAC’S TRUCKING into a successful dirt and construction materials hauling business over the past 13 years.
Located less than a quarter mile from I-70, Tyler’s property was perfectly positioned to serve truck drivers passing through Kansas. For years, he had used his yard and shop exclusively for his trucking business, but the idea of offering truck parking had always been in the back of his mind.
After discovering Truck Parking Club on Facebook, Tyler took action by purchasing additional property across the street and moving his equipment to make room for truck parking. This move allowed him to maintain his construction operations while adding a new revenue stream.
Since becoming a Property Member, Tyler’s experience has been positive. He particularly appreciates the responsive customer service team.
Tyler’s story demonstrates how trucking companies can leverage their property and existing infrastructure to serve the trucking community while generating additional income – proving that sometimes the best business opportunities are right off the interstate.
Thanks to Tyler for being a Property Member and putting his property to work for our Trucker Members!
