I-26 truck parking in numbers
I-26 has 14 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 289 truck spaces across 3 states. That is an average of 21 spaces per site, against a national median of 15 for all public sites, so the sites on this route are larger than typical.
The most spaces are in South Carolina (207, 72 percent of the route), then Tennessee (57). The fewest are in North Carolina, with 25 at 3 sites.
The largest site is Newberry Rest Area in South Carolina, at mile 63, with 47 truck spaces.
The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in South Carolina: about 60 miles eastbound, between mile 3 and mile 63. 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-26 with the other interstates.
