Facility Overview

Situated strategically at 401 Roberts Drive in Carthage, Mississippi, this dedicated commercial truck parking and drop lot facility operates in partnership with Truck Parking Club to provide professional haulers and motorists with secure, flexible parking. Designed as an open-air, level-surface industrial staging and layover yard, the facility eliminates the standard low-clearance restrictions seen in municipal garages, featuring unobstructed vertical clearance that comfortably accommodates standard Class 8 tractor-trailers, 53-foot dry vans, refrigerated reefers, flatbeds, heavy bobtails, oversized hotshot rigs, and accompanying passenger support vehicles. The layout provides ample turning radii for simple wide-angle maneuvering and backing into designated drop or live-parking spots.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned right off the high-traffic transportation nexus of Mississippi Highway 25 and Mississippi Highway 35, the lot offers high utility for both regional freight corridors and visitors to downtown Carthage. Drivers needing overnight lodging will find the Economy Inn directly across the roadway, providing immediate walkable accommodation after clocking out of Hours of Service (HOS). Several dining, convenience, and service options are located within a short drive or moderate walk, including local favorites like Western Diner, Southern Belle Restaurant, and national chains such as McDonald\'s, Sonic Drive-In, and Subway. Essential retail and general shopping can be handled quickly at the Carthage Walmart Supercenter and Piggly Wiggly located just minutes north along Highway 35, while historical Carthage Square and the Leake County Courthouse lie approximately 1.5 miles north.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility features wide, unobstructed curb aprons and wide industrial ingress/egress directly along Roberts Drive, enabling rapid deceleration and turn-in without impeding passing highway traffic. Positioned right at the junction of MS-25 (the principal bypass connecting Jackson to Louisville and Starkville) and MS-35 (connecting northward to Kosciusko and south toward Forest and I-20), regional transit across central Mississippi is direct and uncomplicated. Truck-safe navigational GPS routing is fully supported through the Truck Parking Club booking platform, guiding haulers via designated heavy-vehicle routes to prevent navigating through restricted residential or historical town zones.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Advance booking through the Truck Parking Club mobile app or website is highly advised to secure an exact space before your driving clock expires, especially during weekday peak freight shipping hours. When pulling onto Roberts Drive, reduce speed early to line up your approach with the wide gate entrance. If unhooking a trailer, ensure heavy-duty landing gear pads or timber blocks are lowered properly on the compacted surface. For overnight stays without sleeper berth availability, reserve a room ahead of time at the motel situated directly across the street for maximum convenience.
