I-74 truck parking in numbers
I-74 has 16 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 364 truck spaces across 2 states. That is an average of 23 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 (219, 60 percent of the route), then Indiana (145). The fewest are in Indiana, with 145 at 4 sites.
The largest site is Spring Creek Welcome Center (I-74E, MM 1) in Indiana, at mile 1, with 44 truck spaces.
The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in Indiana: about 56 miles eastbound, between mile 1 and mile 57. 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-74 with the other interstates.
