Facility Overview

Truck Parking Club at 195 Joe R McCrary Rd in Fall Branch, Tennessee, offers a dedicated, open-air secure surface parking facility tailored specifically for heavy commercial transport, fleet operators, and oversized vehicles. Situated right in the rolling corridor of East Tennessee, this spacious yard eliminates the headaches of low clearance limits, offering completely unrestricted vertical headroom. The layout is optimized for tractor-trailers, 53-foot dry vans, refrigerated reefers, flatbeds, bobtails, box trucks, hotshot setups, commercial work vans, and full-size recreational vehicles (RVs). Designed with expansive turning radiuses and wide drive lanes, the property allows drivers to maneuver, back in, and park without tight-space stress or fear of vehicle contact.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility benefits from exceptionally straightforward access off Interstate 81 at Exit 50 (TN-93 / Fall Branch).

The lot provides prompt re-entry onto I-81, ensuring uninterrupted travel north toward Bristol/Virginia or southwest toward Morristown, Knoxville, and I-40 interchange points. Local taxi, rideshare services (Uber and Lyft), and carrier shuttles can easily service the yard for drivers taking mandatory 10-hour or 34-hour resets.
