About this Location

Facility Overview

The Truck Parking Club facility at 14176 Wards Road in Lynchburg, Virginia, is a dedicated heavy-duty vehicle parking and staging lot situated along the primary southern commercial artery of the Lynchburg metropolitan area. Established on an expansive, well-maintained gravel surface parcel, the facility provides an open-air footprint engineered specifically to accommodate high gross-weight commercial haulers, oversized freight, and recreational vehicles. Because this is an entirely unobstructed surface lot, there are no overhead canopies, parking garage beams, or vertical clearance limits, providing 100% open headroom for maximum-height semi-trailers, high-cube dry vans, loaded flatbeds, high-roof motorhomes, and heavy equipment haulers. The generous drive aisles and sweeping turning aprons allow easy maneuvering for tractor-trailers, bobtails, utility trailers, fleet support vans, and personal commuter vehicles alike.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Reserve your space in advance via the Truck Parking Club mobile app or website to guarantee an assigned parking slot before your driving hours expire. When navigating south on Wards Road, begin braking well ahead of the entry to ensure a gentle turn into the gravel access lane. Drivers dropping trailers should use landing gear support pads if necessary during periods of prolonged wet weather. If you plan to leave your truck for an extended reset or university event, local rideshare drivers readily pick up directly from this location to shuttle you to nearby hotels, restaurants, or the airport terminal.
