Facility Overview

Truck Parking Club at 38 3rd St in Kearny, New Jersey, is a dedicated, heavy-duty commercial surface parking facility designed to serve the critical logistics corridors of Northern New Jersey and the greater New York Metropolitan Area. Situated in Kearny’s industrial and manufacturing sector along the Passaic River, this open-air, level yard offers wide turnaround radii, generous pull-through and back-in stalls, and an unobstructed layout. Because it is an expansive outdoor surface lot, there are zero overhead height clearance restrictions, making it fully capable of accommodating full-size tractor-trailers (53-foot dry vans, reefers, and flatbeds), bobtails, straight trucks, box trucks, hotshot haulers, high-roof cargo vans, and standard passenger cars left by over-the-road operators during transit.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned right in the transport heartland of Hudson and Essex counties, this Kearny location is an indispensable staging and layover point for freight moving in and out of New York City and Northern New Jersey hubs. Notable landmarks, industrial terminals, and regional destinations nearby include:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility provides immediate access to Route 7 (Belleville Turnpike) and US Route 1/9 Truck corridor, linking directly to Interstate 280, the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95, Exits 15W and 15E), and Interstate 78. Ingress and egress points along 3rd Street are engineered with wide aprons that allow heavy-duty commercial rigs to enter and exit without mounting curbs or blocking neighborhood traffic. While designed primarily for commercial transport, local transit connections are accessible within a short rideshare distance, including the Harrison PATH Station and Newark Penn Station for rapid transit into Manhattan, Jersey City, and regional Amtrak corridors.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Commercial drivers are strongly encouraged to reserve their parking spaces in advance via the Truck Parking Club digital platform to guarantee an open berth, especially during high-demand midweek freight peaks. When navigating to the yard, ensure your truck-specific commercial GPS is set to prioritize designated truck routes (utilizing NJ-7 and US-1/9 Truck) to prevent inadvertent routing onto non-truck residential corridors or weight-restricted bridges. Ensure all personal vehicles parked on-site display the appropriate permit confirmation on the dash, and inspect your allotted space upon arrival to confirm ample turning room relative to adjacent trailers.
