Facility Overview

Situated directly along the vital Appalachian transit corridor at 551 Hwy 58 E in Norton, Virginia, this Truck Parking Club facility provides critical, dependable truck and commercial vehicle parking. Laid out as an expansive, heavy-duty open-air gravel and compacted surface lot, the location is purpose-built to accommodate the demands of heavy freight transport. Unlike restricted downtown decks, this facility offers completely open headroom with zero vertical clearance limitations, making it perfectly suited for standard Class 8 tractor-trailers, 53-foot dry vans, refrigerated reefers, flatbeds, tankers, hotshots, bobtails, and oversized transport. Standard passenger cars, fleet service vans, and recreational vehicles (RVs) can also park comfortably with abundant maneuvering room.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless parking experience, drivers are strongly encouraged to pre-book their space using the Truck Parking Club mobile platform before arriving, particularly during midweek evenings when regional truck parking demand peaks.
