Roady’s Truck Stop has created an on-demand app that Truck Park users can now use to access the company’s parking reservation system. Operating in locations across 38 states, Roady’s is the nation’s largest collection of independently owned truck stops. Through partnerships with truck stops like Roady’s TruckPark provides a proprietary Enterprise Booking System (EBS), branded TruckPark Reserve, and access to safe and secure parking through its app. TruckPark guarantees that the requested parking spot will be available when the driver arrives to park.
“This agreement is aimed to significantly address the national shortage of parking for long-haul truckers,” said Anthony Petitte, CEO of TruckPark. “Our goal from the beginning has been to offer safe, secure and easily accessible parking solutions to truck drivers. Partnering with Roady’s will enable us to help make truck drivers’ lives easier and less stressful.”
Truck Park Reserve provides dispatchers “direct access to safe and secure parking, the ability to book multiple reservations seamlessly, route plan more efficiently, reduce driver turnover, increase payload security and offer a guarantee by TruckPark that each parking spot will be available when the driver arrives to park,” the company said in a release announcing the service last year.
“Each year more than 10,000,000 truckers and travelers visit a Roady’s facility and purchase over a billion gallons of fuel across more than 300 retail locations,” said Scott Rhinehart of Roady’s Truck Stops. “With that large platform, Roady’s and our independent truck stops can make a sizable difference in the persistent problem truckers face — finding secure parking when and where they need it.”
TruckPark also has partnerships with Storemytruck.com, Echo Global Logistics (NASDAQ:ECHO) and Trucker Tools. The partnership with Echo Global gives EchoDrive Preferred members a 50% discount on parking for owner-operators and fleets with one to five trucks, and a 25% discount for company drivers and fleets with six or more trucks. The integration with Trucker Tools placed TruckPark’s parking reservation system inside the Trucker Tools app.
