How To Find Truck Parking with the Trucker Tools Mobile App

When you can’t find a parking spot for your rig, it’s more than just a minor convenience. Lack of truck parking can cause you to violate HOS rules, park in unsafe locations, experience added stress and fatigue, and reduce your revenue. Despite this, state DOT offices recently reported that not many new public facilities or spaces are currently being developed.

With this in mind, we’ve recently expanded truck parking options in the Trucker Tools mobile app. The app can now connect you with several different kinds of truck parking, including private pay truck parking, free public parking, and parking at rest areas and truck stops. In addition to providing you with several different parking options, the Trucker Tools mobile app includes 17+ other tools and features that can save you time and money on the road.
