TRUX Operations merges with Truck Park Management, creating the nation’s largest truck parking management company

Truck Park Management

[Atlanta, GA.] – The trucking industry faces an unprecedented shortage of safe, secure, and reliable parking options nationwide. With over 3.5 million truck drivers on the road, the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) reports only one parking space per 11 drivers. This severe shortage forces drivers to park in unsafe locations, increases operational costs, and contributes to driver fatigue–one of the leading causes of accidents in the industry. In a move to address this escalating crisis, TRUX has merged with Truck Park Management to form the largest truck parking management company in the nation, now solely known as TRUX Parking. This merger allows the new entity to expand rapidly, acquiring and operating high-demand parking locations across the U.S., optimizing site operations, and providing a long-term solution to the truck parking shortage. It marks a significant step toward making safe, secure, and reservable truck parking available to all of America’s truck drivers.


A mission to solve America’s parking shortage

Through this merger, TRUX Parking aims to acquire and manage parking assets nationwide, offering cutting-edge lot management software to other parking operators. TRUX’s commitment to innovation and expansion will help ease the strain on drivers and fleet operators, providing solutions that not only alleviate the current crisis but also prevent future shortages as the demand for parking continues to rise.

Consistent quality across each location

TRUX Parking is dedicated to creating a dependable, high-quality experience at every location. Each TRUX Parking lot is designed with truck drivers’ needs in mind, offering essential amenities such as bright lighting, secure fencing, electric gate access, well-maintained bathrooms, dumpsters, and 24/7 security cameras.

This consistency in amenities ensures that wherever drivers encounter a TRUX Parking lot, they can expect the same high standards of comfort and security. Some of our flagship locations go even further, providing an on-site truck repair shop for added convenience.

Expanded team and expertise

The merger unites two powerhouse teams with the expertise and resources necessary to tackle the growing parking deficit. The newly expanded team will be instrumental in scaling the company’s property acquisition and management efforts, ensuring drivers have access to well-managed and strategically located facilities.
