US-40 truck parking in numbers
US-40 has 7 public truck parking sites in the federal inventory, with 43 truck spaces across 3 states. That is an average of 6 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 Colorado (22, 51 percent of the route), then Utah (11). The fewest are in Maryland, with 10 at 1 site.
The largest site is NHS Rest Stop or Truck Facility 23 in Maryland, at mile 4, with 10 truck spaces.
The longest stretch between two listed public sites in the same direction is in Colorado: about 291 miles along the route, between mile 176 and mile 467. 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 US-40 with the other interstates.
