Facility Overview

Situated directly along the vital east-west freight corridor at 203 Vicksburg Street in Edwards, Mississippi, this Truck Parking Club facility offers an expansive, heavy-duty open-air surface parking lot and drop yard. Purpose-built to serve commercial logistics and long-haul transportation, the lot is designed with open-sky layout and completely unrestricted vertical clearance, easily accommodating full-size tractor-trailers (up to 53-foot dry vans, reefers, and flatbeds), bobtails, heavy commercial trucks, box trucks, hotshot haulers, oversized cargo setups, and utility fleet vehicles. In addition to commercial trucking rigs, standard passenger cars, oversized work pickup trucks, and RVs can comfortably access and navigate the broad turning aprons.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Before pulling off Interstate 20, ensure you reserve and confirm your parking space online via the Truck Parking Club mobile portal or website to receive gate access instructions and verify current lot capacity. When approaching 203 Vicksburg Street, reduce speed early to negotiate the turn smoothly into the entrance gate.
