Truck parking on I-85

I-85 truck parking in numbers

I-85 has 28 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 704 truck spaces across 5 states. That is an average of 25 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 Georgia (269, 38 percent of the route), then North Carolina (193). The fewest are in Alabama, with 48 at 3 sites.

The largest site is Georgia Weigh Station Region 2 South(Franklin) in Georgia, at mile 170, with 76 truck spaces.

The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in Georgia: about 149 miles northbound, between mile 22.5 and mile 171. 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-85 with the other interstates.
