Visitor & Driver Tips
Reservations should be booked in advance directly through the Truck Parking Club web portal or mobile application to guarantee space before your drive-time clock expires. When navigating to the property, approach via US-20 to Kishwaukee Street or 11th Street before turning onto Mason Avenue, avoiding any weight-restricted residential cut-throughs. Have your digital confirmation and reservation code ready for quick check-in at the gate. If you plan to drop a trailer unattended, ensure kingpin locks and landing gear pads are deployed on soft ground sections, especially during warmer summer months or freeze-thaw cycles.
