Facility Overview
Situated in the industrial corridor of Leitchfield, Kentucky, the Truck Parking Club location at 350 Ed Embry Dr offers dedicated, high-capacity commercial vehicle and equipment staging. Engineered primarily as an expansive, open-air surface lot, this location provides expansive maneuvering room tailored for heavy logistics assets. Unlike standard urban garages, the facility features zero overhead clearance restrictions, making it completely accessible to high-cube semi-trailers, intermodal chassis, car haulers, RVs, motorhomes, and heavy-duty utility vehicles, as well as standard crew-cab pickup trucks and commuter automobiles.
The yard is laid out to allow straightforward 360-degree turning radiuses, wide staging lanes, and generous stall spacing. Drivers hauling 53-foot dry vans or refrigerated trailers will find ample swing clearance for safe backing and decoupling, while owner-operators, independent logistics contractors, and local business fleets benefit from a secure, clean, and level staging environment built specifically to handle gross vehicle weights without the risk of ground settlement or tight bottlenecks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned in Grayson County, this facility serves as an essential logistics anchor along central Kentucky’s commercial transit routes. It sits only moments away from major regional industrial employers, retail services, and municipal hubs:
- Grayson County Industrial Park & Manufacturing Hubs: Positioned within a 5-minute drive of major industrial employers, including Plastikon Healthcare, Bel Brands USA, and Mid-Park, making it a prime drop-and-hook destination.
- Downtown Leitchfield & Grayson County Courthouse: Located approximately 2 miles northeast, providing fast access to local administrative offices, banks, and legal services around the historic town square.
- Retail & Dining Centers: Just minutes from the US-62 / KY-259 commercial strip featuring Walmart Supercenter, fast food stops, and local diners suited for meal breaks and resupplying.
- Regional Recreation: Within a convenient driving distance of Rough River Dam State Resort Park (approx. 18 miles) and Nolin Lake State Park, making the site an ideal seasonal layover or secure off-season holding facility for large recreational vehicles and campers.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward and truck-friendly. Drivers approach the facility via Ed Embry Drive, which connects seamlessly to major freight arteries including KY-259 (South Main Street) and US-62 (Elizabethtown Road). Crucially, the lot is situated less than 5 minutes from the Western Kentucky Parkway (Exit 107), allowing commercial haulers to exit the parkway and transition directly onto broad industrial roads without navigating restrictive residential streets or low-hanging railway trestles.
The access entrance is wide and clear of sharp curbing, allowing dual-axle vehicles and wide loads to pull in safely off the main street without obstructing traffic. Post-rest egress is similarly efficient, offering rapid returns to eastbound corridors toward Elizabethtown and Interstate 65 or westbound routes toward Owensboro, Beaver Dam, and Paducah.

- Approach Route: If coming from the Western Kentucky Parkway, take Exit 107 onto KY-259 North, turn onto Ed Embry Drive, and proceed smoothly into the entrance gate without navigating downtown traffic circles.
- Trailer Drops: If dropping a trailer, ensure dollies and landing gear pads are deployed securely on solid ground to maintain stability during extended stays.
