Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of North Portland's critical freight and industrial corridor at 110 N Marine Dr, Outpost is a premier 14-acre dedicated commercial vehicle terminal and fleet parking facility. Designed specifically to handle heavy transportation assets and industrial logistics, the site is an expansive, fully paved asphalt surface lot engineered with generous turning radiuses and wide driving aisles. Because the entire yard is an open-air surface facility, there are zero vertical overhead clearance restrictions, making it equally capable of accommodating compact commuter cars, full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, oversized utility vehicles, Class 8 semi-tractors, 53-foot dry and refrigerated trailers, and full 70-foot tractor-trailer combos. Beyond open parking, the expansive terminal features on-site maintenance infrastructure, including drive-thru service shop bays and an on-site truck scale, making it one of the most capable logistics staging hubs in the Pacific Northwest.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned along Marine Drive just south of the Columbia River and west of Interstate 5, Outpost offers unbeatable regional connectivity between Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility provides straightforward ingress and egress designed to minimize turn bottlenecks even for 70-foot commercial rigs. Ingress and egress points connect directly onto North Marine Drive, a major four-lane arterial built specifically for heavy industrial and freight flow. From the terminal, drivers are less than 60 seconds from the Interstate 5 interchange (Exit 307 / Marine Drive), which serves as the West Coast's primary north-south freight spine connecting Portland, Seattle, and California. The lot also offers seamless connectivity to I-205, I-84, and Portland International Airport (PDX), which lies roughly 10 minutes east along Marine Drive. For personal vehicle transfers or public transit connections, the TriMet MAX Light Rail Yellow Line terminates nearby at the Expo Center MAX Station (approximately 1.5 miles away), offering direct rail transit to downtown Portland and the Lloyd District.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth parking experience at Outpost, please review the following recommendations:
- Book in Advance: While the yard is large, commercial truck stalls and drop spaces frequently run near capacity due to high regional freight volume. Reserve your spot online through the Outpost platform before routing your equipment to the facility.
- Observe Gate Entry Protocols: Ensure you have your automated digital gate access code or app credentials ready on your smartphone prior to pulling off Marine Drive to keep the entry lane clear.
- Mind Portland Traffic Windows: The I-5 Interstate Bridge and Marine Drive interchange experience significant morning and evening rush-hour congestion between Portland and Vancouver. Plan arrivals and departures during mid-day or off-peak night hours to avoid costly delays.
- Secure All Cargo & Equipment: While the yard features automated security gates and active video surveillance, drivers must always ensure trailer kingpin locks, gladhand locks, and container seals are securely fastened before leaving equipment unattended.
