Facility Overview
Situated in Ottawa County along the northern periphery of Holland, Michigan, the Truck Parking Club location at 13401 New Holland St offers a dependable, open-air surface parking and staging facility. Designed with heavy-duty operations in mind, this sprawling open lot provides robust maneuverability and ground stability suited for both industrial transport and standard vehicles. Unlike cramped multi-level garages or subterranean ramps with restrictive ceiling clearances, this facility features unlimited vertical clearance with completely unobstructed headroom. The wide lot perimeter easily accommodates full tractor-trailer combinations (up to 53-foot dry vans and reefers), bobtails, box trucks, flatbeds, boat haulers, utility service rigs, and large commercial fleet vehicles. Standard passenger cars, heavy pickup trucks (including dually configurations), and high-roof conversion vans can also park without any overhead clearance anxieties or tight structural obstacles.
