Facility Overview

Situated in the industrial and logistics corridor of Hagerstown, Maryland, the AC&T Paid Parking Lot on Hopewell Road is an expansive, secured open-air surface parking facility designed specifically to accommodate commercial transport vehicles, oversized haulers, RVs, fleet trucks, and passenger vehicles. Developed in coordination with the regional AC&T Travel Center campus, this facility features a wide-radius asphalt and heavy-duty paved layout tailored for high-tonnage maneuvers. Because the property is a completely unobstructed, open-sky lot, there are zero overhead clearance restrictions, providing unlimited vertical clearance for standard cars, heavy-duty pickup trucks, high-roof cargo sprinters, bobtails, semi-trucks with 53-foot trailers, and oversized specialty freight.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching the lot, follow truck-designated GPS navigation along Halfway Boulevard onto Hopewell Road to align smoothly with the main gate. If booking through partner platforms like Truck Parking Club, ensure your confirmation QR code or gate pin is ready on your mobile device before arriving at the barrier. If dropping loaded trailers, Maryland regulations and site rules mandate that landing gear support pads be placed beneath the dollies to protect the asphalt surface. Drivers planning overnight or multi-day stays should make time to walk over to the AC&T Travel Center deli to experience their famous fried chicken and hot breakfast, and consider reserving spots well in advance on weekday evenings when regional corridor demand peaks.
