Finding safe, legal truck parking continues to be one of the most daily challenges drivers face on the road. Truck Parking Club says it has taken a major step toward easing that pressure by reaching 4,000 active parking locations nationwide.
The Chattanooga-based company confirmed the milestone this week, noting that its network now spans 49 states and has grown by more than 1,000 locations in just the last three months. The expansion adds tens of thousands of reservable spaces at a time when parking shortages continue to affect schedules, safety, and hours-of-service compliance.
Rapid Growth Driven by Real-World Demand
Truck Parking Club reports that its platform now includes more than 66,000 reservable truck parking spaces. The company says this growth reflects how urgently drivers and fleets need alternatives to crowded rest areas, ramps, and unauthorized parking.
“Reaching 4,000 locations in under three years proves the model works,” said Evan Shelley, co-founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club. “Now we’re scaling it. 10,000 locations by the end of this year isn’t aspirational; it’s the plan. Every day, we’re onboarding new properties, signing enterprise fleet deals, and putting drivers in suitable, reservable spaces instead of highway ramps. The infrastructure already exists across this country. We’re unlocking it.”
The company’s longer-term goal is to reach 10,000 locations by the end of 2026, further expanding access along major freight corridors.
Addressing a Nationwide Parking Shortage
According to the Truck Parking Club, the growth comes as the industry continues to face an estimated shortage of 1.7 million truck parking spaces nationwide. That shortage, the company says, costs the trucking industry more than $100 billion each year and forces drivers to spend close to an hour per day searching for parking.
“The growth addresses an industry-wide shortage of 1.7 million parking spaces, a deficit that costs the trucking industry over $100 billion annually and forces drivers to spend nearly an hour each day searching for parking,” the Truck Parking Club said. “Rather than waiting on new construction at $100,000–$200,000 per space, Truck Parking Club activates existing private spaces immediately through its technology platform.”
Instead of relying on new rest area construction, the platform focuses on unlocking privately owned space that already exists but is not traditionally available to truck drivers.
How Fleets Are Using the Platform
While individual drivers use the service to reserve overnight parking, Truck Parking Club says fleets are increasingly adopting it for broader operational needs.
According to the company, fleet customers use the platform for drop trailer programs, staging equipment near shippers and receivers, long-term asset storage, and hours-of-service planning. Centralized billing and a dedicated fleet support team allow companies to manage parking needs without negotiating multiple property agreements or long-term leases.
The company reports that 92 of the top 100 U.S. carriers now use Truck Parking Club in some capacity.
Property Owners Fuel Network Expansion
The growing supply of parking locations comes from property owners who list unused or underutilized space on the platform.
“The platform’s supply growth is driven by property owners who monetize vacant or underutilized space with no upfront costs, no contracts, and full control over pricing and availability,” Truck Parking Club said. “Truck Parking Club handles all customer service, bookings, payments, payouts, billing, reporting, and even provides free premium signage and marketing materials.”
Property members include trucking companies, warehouses, CDL schools, repair facilities, tow companies, industrial yards, and other commercial property owners with available space.
Built Around Driver Access and Support
Truck Parking Club says its bookings are supported by round-the-clock customer service staffed by former drivers, along with automated gate access and guaranteed payments for property owners. The platform also includes up to $25,000 in damage coverage per booking.
The company says its goal is to reduce friction for drivers while providing reliable, predictable parking options that help avoid last-minute stress at the end of a shift.
As parking availability continues to affect safety, compliance, and quality of life on the road, the rapid expansion of private-space networks like this one signals a shift in how the industry is addressing the problem.
