Facility Overview

The Truck Parking Club facility at 269 Starr Rd in Pateros, Washington, offers an expansive, heavy-duty open-air surface lot designed specifically to accommodate commercial freight haulers, regional carriers, and oversized vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Commercial operators should pre-book their space using the Truck Parking Club web portal or app prior to arrival to guarantee stall availability, especially during peak harvest shipping windows in late summer and autumn. When entering from US-97, reduce speed early and watch for rural turning traffic along Starr Road. If arriving late at night, utilize tractor work lights when backing into non-illuminated perimeter bays, and confirm trailer landing gear is lowered onto stable footings on unpaved surfaces.
