Facility Overview

Situated at 375 W Union St in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, this commercial vehicle and truck parking facility is operated in partnership with Truck Parking Club and on-site provider Eclipse Fleet Service (Encore Fleet Solutions). Established as a heavy-duty, open-air industrial surface lot, the property is purpose-built to accommodate commercial transport vehicles of all configurations. It easily accommodates Class 8 semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, bobtails, drop trailers, flatbeds, box trucks, utility fleet vans, and oversized personal vehicles such as heavy-duty dually pickups and recreational vehicles. Because it is a completely open-air gravel and asphalt compound, there are zero vertical clearance restrictions or low-hanging overhead obstacles, allowing even high-cube dry vans and specialized freight loads full maneuverability without height limitations.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned in Luzerne County within the Wyoming Valley logistics corridor, this lot serves as an essential staging, rest, and layover point for freight moving across northeastern Pennsylvania. It is located just minutes from key regional distribution nodes, commercial hubs, and local points of interest:

The location connects seamlessly to major regional transport arteries, including PA-29 (South Cross Valley Expressway), US-11, Interstate 81 (I-81), and Interstate 80 (I-80), providing direct routing toward Scranton, Harrisburg, and the greater New York/New Jersey metropolitan corridors. For operators needing local transit, Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) bus routes connect through downtown Nanticoke, and regional rideshare services (Uber and Lyft) operate consistently across the area.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Advance booking is strongly encouraged through Truck Parking Club to lock in your reservation prior to arrival, particularly during peak freight delivery days (Tuesday through Thursday evenings). When approaching the gate on West Union Street, maintain low yard speeds and prepare your digital confirmation for seamless entry. If you plan to drop a trailer, ensure landing gear pads are deployed on firm, designated ground pads, and verify kingpin locks are secured. Commercial drivers needing groceries or hot meals should consider placing food delivery orders directly to the lot gate or utilizing rideshare into central Nanticoke.
