Facility Overview
Secure Trailer Lots, Inc located at 3550 S K St in Tulare, California, is a specialized, open-air secure vehicle and equipment parking facility designed to accommodate commercial trucking fleets, semi-trailers, bobtails, recreational vehicles (RVs), and oversized commercial vehicles, in addition to standard passenger cars and utility trucks. Situated in the heart of the Central Valley’s critical freight transport corridor, the yard features an expansive gravel and hardstand surface layout engineered for easy maneuvering, turning radiuses, and staging. Because it is a completely open-air lot, there are no overhead clearance restrictions, making it suitable for high-cube trailers, refrigerated units, flatbeds, motorhomes, and high-clearance construction rigs.
