About this Location

Facility Overview

Truck Parking Club at 150 E 5th St in Bayonne, New Jersey, is a dedicated, heavy-duty industrial staging and commercial vehicle parking facility positioned in one of the most critical freight transit nodes in the New York metropolitan region. Designed primarily as an expansive, open-air surface terminal, the site accommodates large commercial rigs, 53-foot tractor-trailers, bobtails, flatbeds, box trucks, and cargo vans, alongside passenger vehicles and fleet vans. Without the overhead clearance constraints found in standard multi-story garages, the yard provides virtually unlimited vertical headroom, wide turning radiuses, and reinforced hardpack surfaces engineered to handle heavy axle weights and high-volume commercial logistics.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Book in Advance: Truck and secure commercial parking in the Port of NY/NJ corridor is at an extreme premium. Reserve your parking slot online through Truck Parking Club ahead of time to guarantee gate access.
Plan Around Peak Port Gate Hours: Early morning hours (6:00 AM – 9:00 AM) and mid-afternoon shift turnovers can increase traffic along Route 440 and the Bayonne Bridge approaches.
Follow Designated Truck Routes: Ensure navigation systems are set to commercial vehicle routing to stay on approved Hudson County truck corridors and avoid residential weight-restricted side streets in Bayonne.
