The Truck Parking Club location at 5680 Alabama Hwy NW in Rome, GA offers a highly reliable, specialized commercial vehicle parking solution. Situated at the site of the well-known Evans Store (also known as Evan's Truck Stop or Evans Food Mart), this facility is strategically designed to support the trucking community with dedicated parking spaces.

Overview & Suitability

This facility operates as an official Truck Parking Club member location, offering structured spaces specifically suited for professional truck drivers. It is ideal for heavy-duty vehicles, including tractor-trailers, semi-trucks, bobtails, box trucks, reefers, flatbeds, and utility trailers. While the lot is tailored heavily toward commercial vehicle setup, it also accommodates RVs, motorhomes, and utility trailers. Standard passenger vehicles are permitted, but the primary infrastructure is dedicated to accommodating big rigs.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

The lot features a level, open-plan design that makes navigation easy even for long-combination vehicles. Key accessibility highlights include:

• Maximum Clearance: Unlimited height clearance as an open-air lot, with no overhead obstructions.
• Easy Entry: Wide entrance directly off GA-20 (Alabama Hwy NW), accommodating wide turn radiuses for trailers.
• Level Ground: A flat, spacious paved and gravel combination surface behind and adjacent to the main building.

Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking

To avoid the stress of first-come, first-served lots filling up by evening, drivers can instantly book and reserve their spots in advance through the Truck Parking Club platform. Pricing guidelines are structured as follows:

• Hourly Rate: $0.00 (primarily reserved for daily and long-term bookings)
• Daily Rate: $15.00 per day

Strategic Alternative

Positioned along GA-20, this lot serves as a tranquil, high-utility alternative to the congested mega-stops along the I-75 corridor near Atlanta. Rather than fighting for crowded spaces at major truck stops, regional and long-haul drivers moving between Alabama and North Georgia can secure a guaranteed, quiet spot with immediate access to essential services and maintenance parts.
