Personal Conveyance & Distribution Center Parking

You'd probably do better offering long term storage for people on home time. Toss in a truck and trailer washout service...etc. But most Drivers are going to creative park or shoulder park. Before they will pay for parking.

 

9 times out of 10 town zoning is the actual
Issue on truck parking

 

I was just going to mention that. Go before the board/council, and ask for the necessary permits, boy o boy, is the shat gonna hit the fan! You will have citizens coming out of the woodwork, to deep six your idea.

 

Beat me to it

 

Very much needed !!!!!

Parking lots for trucks is a growing and much needed business!!

 

I was gonna say, as someone else did, that providing secure, reserved parking for the locals , is usually a good business in a big city.

there’s one near a job site I work at , and they are full all the time with trucks trailers Boats rvs etc

it is in an area that’s zoned commercial/ industrial, there’s car dealerships and warehouses etc .


I also have a neighbor that’s a truck driver and the company he works for has a large yard, but they only have 10 or 12 tractors and 15 or so trailers , and they rent spaces in the rest of the yard for secure storage , they have a gate , and a security guard at night.

its full , half the stuff is movie studios trucks and trailers it looks like . And they also store equipment for a nearby manufacturer or airport baggage trucks that is running full blast and has no more space to store their equipment , that’s been manufactured, until the company that has purchased it arranges transport.

so this trucking company will pick up the equipment , take it to their secure yard, unload it , and store it until whatever airport or airline that purchased it can arrange to have it shipped by a different trucking company.

mid you have a lot of acres, that’s zoned industrial or commercial , you could make some good money , as secure short and long term storage for trucks trailers equipment , and there’s always plenty of owner operators that need a secure place to park.

 

Drivers these days will block up a cat scale and entry/exit points while the reserved parking row is empty. They aren't going to pay for parking.

 

Going rate is $ 20 in the City. And they are always full. As far as City permits, most cities would rather see a truck in a lot than parked on a street

 

Go for it but forget drivers staying overnight to pay for it. Find businesses to lease space from you for their trucks, trailers, equipment etc. One contact and a recurring revenue stream. Forget security and install a controlled access gate. Keep selling space til its at capacity then buy a second lot.
