Truck parking on I-55

I-55 truck parking in numbers

I-55 has 36 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 784 truck spaces across 6 states. That is an average of 22 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 Illinois (310, 40 percent of the route), then Missouri (261). The fewest are in Tennessee, with 14 at 1 site.

The largest site is Marston SB (WC) in Missouri, at mile 41, with 64 truck spaces.

The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in Mississippi: about 119 miles southbound, between mile 53 and mile 172. 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-55 with the other interstates.
