Visitor & Driver Tips
Because designated commercial spots at this location are limited, drivers are strongly encouraged to book their reservations in advance through Truck Parking Club to lock in their daily, weekly, or extended stay slots. Prior to arrival, confirm that your vehicle configuration matches the designated stall parameters (intended primarily for bobtails and straight box trucks rather than full tractor-trailer combinations). When navigating via GPS, follow signage toward Red Barn Village off Northern Boulevard to ensure a smooth turn into the commercial property.
