Facility Overview
Located at 834 S Church St in Hazleton, Pennsylvania (PA 18201), this Truck Parking Club partner facility provides an essential, dedicated commercial vehicle parking and drop lot service. Positioned along South Church Street (PA Route 309), the location operates as an expansive open-air industrial surface yard tailored primarily for logistics transport, commercial tractor-trailers, bobtails, flatbeds, box trucks, fleet vehicles, and drop trailers, alongside standard passenger cars and light-duty work trucks.
