Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Bullitt County’s bustling industrial and logistics corridor, the Truck Parking Club facility on Ohm Drive in Shepherdsville, Kentucky offers an expansive, heavy-duty open-air surface lot built specifically for commercial freight operations and oversized transport. Operating in a vital shipping hub just south of Louisville, this facility provides spacious layout maneuverability with wide turning radii, generous drive aisles, and flat, stable hardpack and gravel surfacing capable of handling maximum commercial vehicle gross weights. Unlike standard parking decks with restrictive height bars, this open-sky drop lot offers unlimited vertical clearance, making it effortlessly suitable for 53-foot semi-tractors with full-length dry van or refrigerated trailers, flatbeds, step decks, straight trucks, oversized box trucks, and large motorhomes/RVs, as well as bobtail tractors and commercial fleet equipment.

The surrounding roadways feature truck-rated geometry, clear signage, and high-load traffic signals designed to handle heavy vehicular volumes.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When routing into the property, approach Ohm Drive from main arterial roads (KY-480 / Cedar Grove Rd or KY-61) rather than secondary residential streets. Because freight volume peaks heavily across early evening and late night hours, drivers are strongly encouraged to pre-book their reservation via the Truck Parking Club mobile portal before stopping their shift, guaranteeing an assigned space without the stress of hunting for scarce highway truck-stop stalls. If uncoupling a trailer for drop-lot storage, always deploy sand shoes or landing gear support pads to prevent sinkage on gravel surfaces, especially during warm summer afternoons or heavy Kentucky rain events.
