Truck parking on I-196

I-196 truck parking in numbers

I-196 has 3 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 79 truck spaces across 1 state. That is an average of 26 spaces per site, against a national median of 15 for all public sites, so the sites on this route are larger than typical.

The largest site is NHS Rest Stop or Truck Facility 2 in Michigan, at mile 58, with 41 truck spaces.

The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in Michigan: about 33 miles eastbound, between mile 25 and mile 58. Private truck stops may fill part of that gap; plan the last stop of the day before you reach it.

These are capacities from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics inventory, not live availability, and private truck stops are not included. The hours of service guide explains why the 14-hour window, not the 11 hours of driving, decides where you need a space, and truck parking by state compares I-196 with the other interstates.
