Truck Parking Data You Can Use for Real Decisions
Verified truck parking inventory, utilization data, and planning analysis for DOTs, MPOs, and consulting teams working on freight safety, parking supply, and funding justification.
What Trucking Lab Provides
We help agencies and consulting teams move from fragmented parking information to defensible analysis, clear project justification, and faster decision-making.
Verified Parking Inventory
Ground-checked location data: verified truck parking supply and 24/7 utilization data to reduce uncertainty in freight plans, studies, and corridor reviews.
Demand and Hotspot Analysis
Planning-focused modeling: identify where parking demand is highest, where shortages are most severe, and where added capacity will matter most.
Driver Need Signals Without Surveys
Passive text analysis: use large-scale driver language and feedback patterns to understand parking needs, concerns, and priorities without relying only on surveys.
Why Work with Trucking Lab
Built for public-sector decision-making and consulting delivery, not just for presentation slides.
1. TRB-Accepted Methodology
Our methodology has been presented by TRB, one of the best-known transportation research forums in the U.S. That gives project teams a stronger basis for explaining and defending the work.
2. Tailored to Your Study
We can build project-specific methods for demand analysis and driver need detection, including passive text mining that helps reveal what drivers want and where problems are emerging.
3. Start on Day One
Start with 11,500+ vetted locations instead of spending months building a base dataset. Your team can begin analysis right away and stay focused on project delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from DOTs, MPOs, and consulting teams about working with Trucking Lab.
Trucking Lab is a specialized partner that provides validated truck parking data and analytics for consulting firms working on truck parking studies, freight plans, and DOT-related projects.
We go beyond simply delivering raw data. We provide the evidence and analytical logic that you can immediately utilize in your projects.
We provide both foundational data and advanced analytics. Our service scope includes verified parking inventories, 24/7 availability data, amenities information, demand analysis, parking pattern analysis, and qualitative intelligence.
In short, we help you show not only the current conditions, but also where the problems are, what’s needed, and why investment is justified.
We understand that public agencies and top-tier consulting firms place immense importance on data reliability and methodological transparency.
Trucking Lab validates its data through multi-layer QA/QC, including cross-checking satellite imagery, phone verification, and comparison against external reference data where applicable.
We also provide a data dictionary and methodology documentation so project teams can respond more confidently and systematically to technical reviews and client questions.
You certainly can. However, building and verifying a statewide inventory requires a massive amount of time and manpower.
By working with Trucking Lab, internal teams can avoid spending time on repetitive data collection and cleaning, and instead focus from day one on higher-value work such as analysis, strategy, and report development.
That means better schedule control and operational efficiency.
GPS, telematics, and probe data are useful for understanding vehicle movement and flow.
Trucking Lab adds value by helping clients interpret parking inventory, utilization, amenities, and parking context at the individual facility level. For example, we help clients move beyond simply saying, “Trucks are here,” to more actionable conclusions such as, “This site is consistently 70% occupied and may require expansion,” or “This county functions as an overnight hub for over-the-road (OTR) drivers.”
Yes, we can. Trucking Lab’s proprietary Truck Parking Demand Model goes beyond simply providing a snapshot of current parking counts.
Our analysis focuses on identifying corridors where demand is high but supply is insufficient, making undesignated parking more likely to occur.
This allows clients to diagnose safety risk areas, priority investment zones, and potential unmet-demand locations in a more rigorous way.
Absolutely. We are better positioned as an external technical partner that helps project teams move faster and produce stronger results.
We can provide data only, support specific analyses, or work alongside an existing consulting team on proposals, studies, and final reports.
