Truck Parking Club hits 5,000 locations — what it costs owner-operators
The Chattanooga network added 1,000 spots in 81 days and now covers 49 states with 80,000 reservable spaces.
Truck Parking Club crossed 5,000 locations nationwide this week, adding the last 1,000 spots in 81 days. The Chattanooga-based network now offers more than 80,000 reservable spaces across 49 states.
How much does Truck Parking Club cost per night?
The source material does not disclose per-night pricing or monthly subscription fees. Truck Parking Club's model converts existing private property — industrial lots, church parking, farm acreage — into reservable truck parking without new construction. Drivers from 93 of the top 100 fleets have used the network, the company said Thursday.
How fast is the network growing?
Truck Parking Club launched in November 2022. It took 366 days to reach the first 100 locations. The jump from 4,000 to 5,000 took 81 days. The company plans to double the network to more than 10,000 locations by the end of 2026 — a pace of roughly 580 new locations each month, or 19 per day.
"We've created a new way to add truck parking capacity at scale and at speed, without waiting on construction, leasing, or new infrastructure dollars," said Evan Shelley, founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club. "Hundreds of thousands of drivers have already parked with us, and we're actively partnering with everyone from the largest fleets to independent owner-operators to help them use Truck Parking Club to improve efficiency and deliver real value to both drivers and carriers."
FreightWaves ranked the company No. 24 on its FreightTech 25 list for 2026.
What this means for owner-operators looking for safe parking
The network does not build new truck stops. It signs up landowners — farms, churches, warehouses with unused pavement — and makes those spots bookable through the Truck Parking Club app. That model lets the company add capacity faster than construction-dependent competitors.
For an owner-operator running irregular routes or avoiding crowded interstate rest areas, a reservable spot means less time circling for parking and lower risk of a citation for parking on the shoulder or in an unauthorized lot. The practical value depends on per-night cost, which the company has not disclosed in this announcement.
If you run lanes through states with acute parking shortages — New Jersey, Southern California, the I-95 corridor — check whether Truck Parking Club covers your regular overnight stops and compare the reservation fee to the cost of idling an extra hour hunting for a space or the fine for an illegal park.
