About this Location

Facility Overview

Truck Parking Club at 500 V C Drive in Martinsville, Virginia, provides a specialized, expansive surface parking and staging facility situated across a secure industrial logistics footprint. Historically developed as the Roy Stone Transfer trucking and cross-dock freight terminal, this broad 24.5-acre property is purpose-built to meet the rigorous demands of commercial transportation.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers should plan ahead and reserve a designated parking spot through the Truck Parking Club digital platform prior to arrival, ensuring confirmed gate access instructions and entry credentials. Because demand spikes dramatically during NASCAR race weekends at Martinsville Speedway, it is strongly advised to book multiple weeks in advance for spring and fall event dates to avoid capacity bottlenecks. When approaching the site via Commonwealth Boulevard, follow designated commercial truck routes and avoid secondary residential streets. Always confirm your assigned space or designated row within the facility and ensure landing gear pads are deployed securely when dropping uncoupled trailers.
