Facility Overview

Situated at 895 Orange Street in Bedford, Virginia, this Truck Parking Club facility offers an expansive, heavy-duty open-air surface parking lot designed primarily to accommodate commercial vehicles, freight carriers, and oversized haulers. Positioned strategically along the industrial and commercial spine of Bedford, the facility features wide drive aisles, generous turning radiuses, and designated staging spaces that allow seamless maneuvering for tractor-trailers, 53-foot dry vans, flatbeds, refrigerated units (reefers), bobtails, box trucks, and large utility fleet vehicles. Because this is an open-air facility with no overhead obstacles, drivers benefit from completely unrestricted vertical clearance, eliminating height-clearance concerns for high-cube trailers, heavy equipment transports, and tall Class A and Class C recreational vehicles. Standard passenger cars, work vans, and dual-rear-wheel pickups are also readily accommodated.
