About this Location

Facility Overview

Truck Parking Club at 2400 W College Ave in Appleton, Wisconsin, offers dedicated, heavy-duty commercial and oversized vehicle parking strategically positioned along one of the Fox Cities’ primary commercial corridors. Operating as an open-air surface staging lot, the facility is engineered specifically to accommodate tractor-trailers (bobtail and full 53-foot combination rigs), box trucks, flatbeds, hotshot haulers, buses, and RVs, while also welcoming standard passenger vehicles and pickup trucks associated with drivers and local fleet operators. With no overhead vertical clearance restrictions, high-profile freight haulers, heavy machinery haulers, and high-cube trailers can navigate and park with zero overhead hazards. The lot features wide turning radiuses, stabilized driving lanes, and clearly designated truck stalls designed to simplify nighttime maneuvering and complex backing maneuvers.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Reserve your space in advance through the Truck Parking Club mobile app or digital platform to guarantee an open spot before exhausting your hours of service (HOS), particularly on high-volume weekday evenings. When approaching from I-41, use Exit 137 for WI-125 / College Ave and travel east for easy right-turn access into the lot. Always conduct your post-trip check under the illuminated yard lights and confirm parking stall alignment to ensure ample clearance for adjacent rigs.
