Truck parking on I-79

I-79 truck parking in numbers

I-79 has 18 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 326 truck spaces across 2 states. That is an average of 18 spaces per site, against a national median of 15 for all public sites.

The most spaces are in Pennsylvania (200, 61 percent of the route), then West Virginia (126). The fewest are in West Virginia, with 126 at 7 sites.

The largest site is Burnsville Rest Area SB in West Virginia, at mile 85, with 30 truck spaces.

The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in Pennsylvania: about 60 miles southbound, between mile 50 and mile 110. 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-79 with the other interstates.
