“We’re working to make the experience as seamless as possible for both Trucker Members and Property Members,” said Evan Shelley, co-founder, CEO of Truck Parking Club. “Property Members get modern access controls at zero cost, while Trucker Members never have to worry about forgotten codes at 2 AM.”

Simplified Access at No Cost

The new system allows Trucker Members to open gated property entrances directly through the Truck Parking Club mobile app or website. Designed for convenience, this technology only requires a quick bolt-on to existing gates and is completely free for Property Members. That means no upfront installation costs or ongoing subscription fees.

Now operational at OTR Truck Parking in Midland, Texas, the system eliminates the need for access codes, cards, or manual check-ins. Instead, Trucker Members simply press a button in the app to gain entry. The access controls utilize geolocation technology, ensuring the gate can only be activated when users have both an active reservation and physical presence at the property.

The company plans to expand the system to additional select locations soon, with dozens more Property Member facilities in the pipeline.

A Game-Changer for Drivers

“Drivers love it – press a button, the gate opens,” said Andrew Jones, owner of OTR Truck Parking in Midland and vice president of property member optimization at Truck Parking Club. He added, “Getting free access controls that work with my existing gates was a no-brainer.”

This system further exemplifies the Truck Parking Club’s commitment to offering practical and straightforward solutions for both Trucker Members and Property Members. By eliminating unnecessary complexities, the platform aims to streamline operations and improve the parking experience for all stakeholders.

Stay tuned as Truck Parking Club expands this innovative service to more locations, providing an effortless access experience for truck drivers and property owners alike.

“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.
