About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in Tioga County just outside downtown Owego, the Truck Parking Club facility at 372 Glen Mary Drive provides an expansive, open-air commercial surface lot designed specifically to accommodate the demanding needs of heavy-duty transportation and freight logistics. The lot features an open layout with generous turning radiuses and level staging areas, eliminating the congestion and tight turns common at crowded highway travel plazas. Because the property is entirely open to the sky, there are no vertical clearance limits, allowing high-cube dry vans, refrigerated reefers, oversized flatbed loads, car haulers, and tall RVs to park without restriction. In addition to Class 8 commercial tractor-trailers, the lot comfortably accommodates straight trucks, hotshots, heavy-duty pickup trucks, utility vans, and standard passenger cars.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via Glen Mary Drive, connecting smoothly with NY-17C (Waverly Road / Main Street) and NY-96. The property sits strategically alongside the Southern Tier Expressway (future Interstate 86 / NY-17), accessible via Exit 64 and Exit 65. This direct arterial link allows rapid east-west transit between Binghamton, Elmira, Corning, and Jamestown, as well as easy northern routing along NY-96 toward Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region. The wide road approaches and wide entry gates minimize delays when pulling in or merging back onto county roadways. While the surrounding rural district relies heavily on personal vehicle transportation and regional rideshare services (Uber and Lyft), the property offers unbeatable convenience for vehicles transitioning to and from high-speed freight routes.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, book your spot in advance through the Truck Parking Club mobile app or website, as commercial truck spots across upstate New York fill quickly during late afternoon and evening hours. Always follow commercial truck GPS routes when approaching via I-86/NY-17 to Glen Mary Drive, avoiding narrow residential village roads. Enter your truck and trailer license plate details accurately during booking to streamline check-in validation. If you need groceries, hot food, or personal provisions, consider stopping at one of the retail plazas or dining establishments along Route 17C in Owego before staging your vehicle for your federally mandated rest break.
