Truck parking might not sound like a hot topic—but for drivers and fleet managers, it’s one of the biggest challenges in the industry today. From wasted hours to safety concerns, the lack of reliable parking for semi-trucks and trailers costs the trucking industry billions every year.
In this post, we’ll break down:
- Why truck parking is such a big issue
- How it affects drivers, businesses, and supply chains
- What solutions are working—and how MorPro and Spottie are leading the way
Why Is Truck Parking So Hard to Find?
Across the U.S., there are millions of active commercial trucks, but far fewer safe, legal places to park them. According to the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), truck drivers often spend 30 to 60 minutes per day just searching for a parking spot.
That wasted time adds up to:
Lost revenue
Driver fatigue
Missed delivery windows
Increased risk of accidents
Drivers often end up parking on highway shoulders, in unsafe lots, or in areas that aren’t meant for commercial vehicles—all because they don’t have better options.
The Hidden Cost of Poor Parking Options
Truck parking isn’t just a convenience issue—it’s a safety and compliance issue.
When drivers can’t find a spot:
They’re more likely to violate Hours of Service (HOS) rules. They experience more stress, which can lead to burnout. Companies face higher turnover and reduced efficiency.
For logistics companies and freight shippers, the parking problem leads to delays, higher operating costs, and frustrated drivers. It’s an industry-wide pain point with no easy fix—until now.
How MorPro + Spottie Are Solving the Parking Problem
MorPro recently acquired Spottie.io, a smart parking platform built specifically for the trucking industry. Together, we’re tackling the parking shortage by making it easier than ever for drivers and fleets to:
Find available trailer and semi-truck parking in real time Check reviews and location details before arrival Reserve a spot in advance for peace of mind Access safe, verified spaces—no more guessing or risky last-minute decisions
But that’s not all—Spottie also helps landowners monetize their space by listing unused land, yards, or lots for truck parking. It’s a win-win: truckers get a reliable place to park, and landowners earn passive income.
