Facility Overview

Situated in the bustling industrial corridor of East Portland along the Fairview and Gresham border, Truck Parking Club at 2255 NE 194th Ave offers a dedicated, heavy-duty open-air surface parking facility. Tailored primarily to the needs of commercial freight operators, long-haul logistics drivers, and fleet managers, this spacious industrial yard features a wide-open layout configured to accommodate large vehicles effortlessly. Because the facility is an outdoor, grade-level lot, there are zero overhead clearance limits or low-hanging structural barriers, providing unlimited vertical clearance for high-cube trailers, intermodal containers, heavy equipment haulers, oversized motorhomes, and commercial utility rigs.

The yard is engineered with generous drive aisles and sweeping turning radiuses, allowing 53-foot tractor-trailers, bobtails, flatbeds, lowboys, and box trucks to maneuver, park, and unhook without the tight pinches typical of dense urban centers. Beyond commercial transport, the facility easily handles full-size crew-cab pickup trucks, cargo vans, high-roof sprinters, and standard passenger vehicles used by drivers parking personal cars while out over the road.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned just off the Columbia River Highway (I-84) corridor, this parking location serves as a critical staging node for freight moving through Multnomah County, the Pacific Northwest, and across the Columbia River into Washington. In addition to serving regional logistics hubs and distribution centers, the location is proximate to an array of local business and recreational amenities:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Navigating to and from the lot is fast and seamless for commercial vehicles.

Most importantly, Interstate 84 is reachable via nearby Exit 13 (NE 181st Ave) or Exit 14 (NE 207th Ave / Fairview), giving truckers an unobstructed, traffic-light-minimal route to main regional shipping arteries.

For transit connectivity, TriMet operates local bus routes along NE Sandy Boulevard (Line 21) and NE Halsey Street, linking commuters directly to the Gresham Transit Center and Gateway Transit Center. The MAX Blue Line light rail runs through nearby East Portland and Rockwood (approximately 2 miles south), connecting passengers directly to downtown Portland, the Oregon Convention Center, and Moda Center. Rideshare pick-up via Uber and Lyft is routinely available directly at the gate, allowing drivers taking mandatory Hours of Service (HOS) 34-hour resets to reach nearby hotels and restaurants with minimal wait times.
