Truck Stop Parking?

Drivers, I been told some or maybe all charge you a nightly fee to park your rig at truck stops, what's the fee cost? Any reliable source will be appreciated! Thank you very much

The only truck stops I've been to that charge are the TA and Petro in Ontario, CA and the Petro in West Memphis, AR. They are free up to 2 hours then $20 for up to 24 hours. If you fuel more than 50 gallons or make a $20 or greater purchase in the store then your parking charge is covered.

Most places don't charge to park.

Not at all surprised for Ontario Calif. Worked in that area on forklifts. Busy busy trucking zone all in and around there.

I have ran into a couple, Baltimore and Ontario comes to mind. I have been trip planning lately to park outside the cites then get my load in early. This won't always work out though :-(

Almost all big city truck stops charge like NYC LA Seattle altanta ... You can buy a truck stop book at most truck stops and it tells you which ones charge

Good evening drivers thank you to you all for your quick responses so good to know this I'm going to have to know which ones charge I will not pay for anything like that, I kind of feel the company should pay for that since the company owns the trucks. These places are sound greedy!

I don't mind paying for parking. Most times everyone tries to avoid it but more times than not there is parking there even late at night.

If I don't feel like parking way in the back for whatever reason I will reserve a parking place. $12-$14 for a guaranteed parking place is a good price. But only do that when I do restarts which is rare.

I thought that the pay parking is for 24 hours or does that price cover your stay

I rarely pay to park, it's happened though. I'm in Atlanta Georgia Petro and have to spend $20 in the store or pay for parking. I didn't realize when I planned to stop here but didn't want to leave with my clock almost out. But I'm ok with it I'll just eat in the restaurant.

There's also a truckstop near Miami Fl (595 truckstop) had to pay there once, last time I went to Miami I slept at the receiver to avoid that charge.

Get a truckstop guide and make notes when you stay at a truck stop, look around and make a note at what time it fills up and I will put a note if it's real tight parking. That way next time you in the area you don't have to rely on your memory.

The cost of the parking can be included in the $20 needed for the 24 hour period.
