atri report

Truck parking remains one of the most critical challenges facing America’s freight industry. As the leading digital marketplace connecting truckers with available parking spaces, Truck Parking Club is committed to keeping our community informed about the latest developments in this crucial area. Let’s explore the key findings from the American Transportation Research Institute’s (ATRI) recent state-level truck parking analysis.

National Truck Parking Highlights

The ATRI report, developed in collaboration with AASHTO, provides a comprehensive state-by-state analysis of public truck parking availability across all 50 states. Here are the standout findings:

  • Montana, Vermont, and Massachusetts lead the nation in public parking spaces relative to truck traffic volume
  • Florida has the most public truck parking spaces (2,100), followed by Illinois (1,449) and Ohio (1,403)
  • Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas have the highest dependence on private parking solutions
  • Tennessee and Texas offer all eight key driver amenities at their public rest areas
  • Virginia invests the most in maintenance per parking space ($32,982 annually)

When Public Options Aren’t Available

While public rest areas provide essential parking in many regions, they often cannot meet the full demand. This is where Truck Parking Club’s network of 1,950+ locations becomes invaluable. Our platform offers:

  • Guaranteed parking when public rest areas are full
  • Flexible booking options (hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly)
  • Locations near major freight corridors and metropolitan areas
  • Verified properties with detailed information on amenities
  • 24/7 customer support from experienced former drivers

For truckers navigating through states with limited public parking—like Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Texas—our marketplace provides critical alternatives to ensure legal parking is always available.
