Truck parking on I-8

I-8 truck parking in numbers

I-8 has 8 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 82 truck spaces across 2 states. That is an average of 10 spaces per site, against a national median of 15 for all public sites, so the sites on this route are smaller than typical.

The most spaces are in Arizona (45, 55 percent of the route), then California (37). The fewest are in California, with 37 at 4 sites.

The largest site is Buckman Springs in California, at mile 49.0, with 18 truck spaces.

The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in California: about 31 miles along the route, between mile 49 and mile 80.2. 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-8 with the other interstates.
