About this Location

Facility Overview

Located immediately off Interstate 80 at Exit 86, the Rig Roost truck parking facility (partnered with Truck Parking Club and operated by STAAR Trucking) at 712 State Rte 1830 in Brookville, Pennsylvania, provides an expansive, heavy-duty commercial parking facility. Designed primarily to accommodate the rigorous demands of long-haul logistics, regional freight carriers, and commercial drivers, the facility operates as a dedicated open-air surface yard spanning several acres. The parking grounds feature broad turning radiuses, reinforced surfaces engineered for heavy axle weights, and clearly laid out spaces capable of handling up to 200 commercial rigs, tractor-trailers, drop trailers, flatbeds, and box trucks.

Because this is a completely open-air lot, there are zero vertical clearance restrictions or low overhead canopies to navigate, ensuring complete headroom clearance for standard 13'6" dry vans, refrigerated reefers, oversized haulers, step decks, and high-roof work vehicles. In addition to commercial motor carriers, the lot easily accommodates standard passenger vehicles, commercial support pickups, work vans, and RVs requiring overnight or layover staging.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To guarantee a smooth stay, drivers are strongly encouraged to reserve their parking spot ahead of arrival via the Truck Parking Club mobile app or website, particularly during late afternoon and evening hours when regional truck parking capacity along the I-80 corridor reaches peak demand. When approaching Exit 86, follow GPS coordinates directly to State Route 1830 and prepare your turn into the main entrance apron.

For extended stays, keep your digital booking confirmation easily accessible on your phone for verification.
