Facility Overview
The Truck Parking Club facility at 1450 W 800 N in Orem, Utah, is a purpose-built, secure commercial vehicle and heavy-duty staging lot designed specifically for motor carriers, independent owner-operators, fleet logistics, and oversized vehicles. Situated right in Orem’s bustling industrial and logistics corridor just moments from Interstate 15, this facility is an expansive, open-air surface lot engineered to accommodate heavy axle loads. Because it operates without covered ceilings or overhead canopies, drivers enjoy unlimited vertical clearance, making it an effortless parking destination for full-size tractor-trailers (53-foot dry vans and reefers), flatbeds, bobtails, step decks, hotshots, oversized recreational vehicles (RVs), utility service fleets, and large commercial work trucks.
Wide perimeter drive lanes, spacious turning radii, and an uncluttered layout ensure that commercial drivers can safely execute 45-degree and 90-degree sight-side backing maneuvers without the tight clearances or congestion typical of urban truck stops. Designated stalls are clearly marked to maximize accessibility and maintain smooth traffic patterns throughout the yard 24 hours a day.
