Facility Overview

Situated at 4795 N Gonzalez Rd on the northern outskirts of Fort Stockton, Texas, this Truck Parking Club partner facility operates directly on the grounds of JC Diesel Wrecker & Truck Repair. Spanning a robust, heavily compacted gravel and crushed millings surface lot, the facility accommodates up to 50 commercial vehicles, tractor-trailers, and private vehicles. Designed with the demanding needs of heavy transport and Permian Basin logistics in mind, the open-air layout provides expansive drive aisles and unobstructed maneuvering room with no vertical clearance restrictions or overhead obstacles. It comfortably accommodates 53-foot dry vans, refrigerated reefers, flatbeds, heavy equipment haulers, double-stacked bobtails, box trucks, hotshot rigs, and oversized/specialized loads, as well as passenger cars, heavy-duty pickup trucks, and large recreational vehicles.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Fort Stockton serves as a pivotal West Texas crossroads connecting the Trans-Pecos region, the Permian Basin energy corridor, and transcontinental freight routes. Located roughly 3.5 miles north of Interstate 10, this lot provides a calm, quiet staging area away from overcrowded highway travel centers while remaining within a brief drive of town conveniences and regional highlights:

• Historic Fort Stockton & Annie Riggs Memorial Museum: Located 3.5 to 4 miles south in the historic downtown district, offering a deep look into frontier army history and local West Texas heritage.
• Paisano Pete & Downtown Fort Stockton: Fort Stockton’s world-famous 22-foot roadrunner landmark and community plaza are situated about 3.8 miles away, surrounded by authentic local diners, Tex-Mex cafes, and local shops.
• Pecos County Coliseum & Civic Center: Approximately 4 miles away, hosting regional rodeos, community expos, and agricultural gatherings throughout the year.
• James Rooney Memorial Park: Situated 4.2 miles away, this lush public park is home to natural desert spring canals, picnic pavilions, and tranquil walking trails.
• Interstate 10 Hospitality Strip: Within a 3- to 4-mile drive, drivers have easy access to leading hotel brands (Hampton Inn, Best Western, Holiday Inn Express, La Quinta Inn) and national dining staples.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The yard is conveniently located at the corner of Gonzalez Road and West 47th Lane. Truckers arriving from Interstate 10 can exit smoothly at Exit 359B (Dickinson Boulevard) and navigate north via Gonzalez Road with clear right-of-way and minimal municipal cross-traffic. Exiting the facility is straightforward, providing quick access to regional arterials including US-285 (leading directly north toward Pecos and Carlsbad), US-385 (toward McCamey, Crane, and Odessa), and US-67 (toward Alpine and the Big Bend region). While local municipal fixed-route transit is limited in this rural hub, local taxi operators and on-demand rideshare options (Uber and Lyft) service the area, and popular food delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) deliver straight to the lot entrance.

Visitor & Driver Tips

• Landing Gear Pads Required: Because the parking ground is composed of industrial gravel and crushed millings, heavy landing gear supports or dunnage pads are strictly required when dropping loaded trailers to prevent sinkage into the surface.
• Pre-Book Digitally: Reserve your space in advance via Truck Parking Club to lock in your daily, weekly, or monthly rate and receive gate instructions prior to arrival.
• Follow Truck Routes: When coming from I-10, follow Exit 359B to avoid downtown municipal roadways and ensure an easy, direct path north up Gonzalez Road.
• Plan Around Repair Services: If your equipment requires maintenance, coordinate directly with JC Diesel Wrecker during their regular shop hours (daily 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) to minimize downtime during your layover.
