About this list

What is covered, where it comes from, and what the rules say

Public rest areas, welcome centers and similar sites with truck parking, from the federal inventory kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and, in some states, the state’s own inventory. Listed by highway and mile marker, with the number of truck spaces.

The largest concentration is in Na: 228 of 1972 (12%). Other cities covered include N/A (18), Cook County (8), Erie County (6), Perry (6), Jackson (5), and 1125 more.

By county, the 1972 entries fall across 672 counties; the largest are Na (221), Jackson (17), Jefferson (17), Lincoln (16).

These 1972 entries come from a register that publishes no listing dates at all. They were on the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026 and September 27, 2026.

All 1972 hold the same class of listing: Public truck parking.

This list publishes no phone numbers, so no listing drawn from it shows one. That is how the source publishes it, not a gap in this record. Street address, county, listing class and listing dates are what the state does publish, and they are all here.

Every record on this page comes from NTAD Truck Stop Parking, published by Bureau of Transportation Statistics on geodata.bts.gov as dataset NTAD_Truck_Stop_Parking.

Why the hours rules make parking a compliance question

For a property-carrying driver, 49 CFR 395.3 sets the day: no driving without first taking 10 consecutive hours off duty (395.3(a)(1)), no driving after 14 consecutive hours from coming on duty (395.3(a)(2)), no more than 11 hours of driving in that window (395.3(a)(3)(i)), and a consecutive 30-minute break before driving once 8 hours of driving time have passed (395.3(a)(3)(ii)).

Every one of those limits ends with the truck stopped somewhere. When the clock runs out and the nearest space is full, the choice is between parking somewhere unsafe and driving over the limit. Knowing which rest areas ahead have truck spaces, and how many, is the planning that avoids that choice.

What is in the list

Each site comes from the National Transportation Atlas Database layer of truck stop parking maintained by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: mostly public rest areas and welcome centers on the National Highway System, with the route, direction, mile marker, county and number of truck parking spaces the inventory records. On each state page the sites are grouped by highway and ordered by mile marker, which is how you look for them from the cab.

Some states publish their own inventories, and public sites from them that the federal layer does not have are added: rest areas, welcome centers, service plazas and state lots from the truck parking inventories of the Florida Department of Transportation, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Texas Department of Transportation, and rest areas that the Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Utah transportation departments mark as taking trucks. A site within about a kilometre of one already in the federal inventory is not listed twice. Texas does not count the spaces at its public sites, so none is shown there.

What it does not show

  • Private truck stops are not in this list; the chains and independents are listed separately under Truck Stops, from OpenStreetMap and, in some states, the state’s truck parking inventory.
  • Live availability is not in the inventory. The space count is capacity, not how many are free now.
  • Weigh stations have their own section, built from the states that publish them.
  • Closures: rest areas close for works. The inventory is not a closure notice; check the state transportation department before relying on a site.

Questions about truck parking

How long can I park at a rest area?
That is set by each state, often posted at the site, and is not in the inventories this list comes from. Check the signs.
Does this show whether spaces are free right now?
No. The number shown is the number of truck spaces the site has, not current availability.
Why are the big truck stop chains missing?
They are private businesses and are not in the public-parking inventories this list comes from. They are listed separately in the Truck Stops section.

Get told when the register changes

Licenses lapse and get renewed constantly: in the current data nearly a quarter of the records in one state register have already expired. We re-check the registers and email a short summary of what moved.

One email when the register data is refreshed or a rule changes. No more than monthly. Reply "stop" to any of them to unsubscribe.
