Bobtail Parking at 970 Cassville White Rd NW is a dedicated commercial truck and semi-tractor parking facility situated in Cartersville, Georgia. Operating alongside the Pilot Travel Center #67, this location is tailored strictly for professional drivers, logistics operators, and commercial vehicles navigating the Interstate 75 corridor.
Overview & Suitability
This highly specialized parking lot is designed exclusively for commercial transport vehicles, including semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and bobtail trucks (semi-tractors operating without a trailer). Due to its commercial design, the facility is not suitable for standard passenger vehicles, which are restricted to the main travel center parking zone. While the primary focus is commercial freight, limited recreational vehicle (RV) parking is accommodated through the travel center's dedicated reservation lanes.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
Conveniently located off I-75 at Exit 296, the facility boasts exceptional accessibility for high-profile vehicles. Key dimensional features include:
- Maximum Clearance: Fully open-air layout with no height restrictions, safely accommodating standard 13-foot-6-inch commercial trailers.
- Entry & Navigation: Extremely wide entryways, concrete and asphalt paving, and broad turning radii designed to prevent tight maneuvers or trailer jackknifing.
- Navigational Ease: Straightforward highway access and clear lane markings make entry and exit seamless even during peak transit hours.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
The facility offers both free first-come, first-served truck parking spaces and premium paid spaces. Standard pricing and payment details include:
- Daily Prime Parking: Approximately $15.00 to $22.00 per 24-hour period for reserved spots.
- Monthly Rates: Long-term commercial vehicle storage in the Cartersville area typically averages around $250.00 per month.

Strategic Alternative
For drivers looking to avoid the heavily congested highway shoulders and rest areas closer to metro Atlanta, this facility serves as an ideal staging point. Its position just north of Atlanta makes it a strategic layover option before completing deliveries, and its close proximity to the Tellus Science Museum and major Bartow County industrial centers offers an excellent, amenity-rich alternative for commercial operators.
