OK, I'm wondering if there is an app orrrrr, something that reliably lists hotels/motels that have ACTUAL truck parking???
As we all know, hotel "truck" parking (as listed on their websites) USUALLY means pickup trucks, not semi and trailer!
I usually like to stay in a hotel over the weekend vs in my truck at a truck stop.
Soooo, anyone know of anything (app/website/etc,) that's reliable?

Use Google Maps satellite view to check out places in the area.

I use Trucker Path and also Google. You can usually tell if they have parking or not with the satellite view.
Siinman Thanks this. -
We use CLC at my company, you punch in the location you are looking for and it pops up a list of places in that area that take CLC as payment and have truck parking, but like all others have said, check Google maps every time because I'd have to say a third of the places that list they have truck parking are referring to U-Haul trucks, not tractor trailers. Overall the CLC app isn't bad but I do not know if you can download and just use the app or if you need to actually pay for an account, it's provided to me thru work and I need to sign in before it will show me anything.
I have heard good things about Hotels4Truckers.com but never used it.
Also, I go thru the same general routes often, so I'm always looking at places as I pass to see if I think I get in there or if I pass a place I see has trucks already parked in the lot I save it to favorites in the gets people lost so I can look at it later. If they can get in there, I figure I can too. -
Also, just as an FYI, in general it seems that Comfort Inn and Sleep Inn have the most hotels with truck accessibility compared to all the other chain brands.
If you're just blindly digging thru hotels in your area I would start with those two. -
I hate how Truckers Path shows every hotel whether or not they have truck parking. If I just needed any hotel, I can just use Google Maps to find one.
I actually posted a review on the Google Play store for the Truckers Path app a few years ago saying they should create a pin for hotels with truck parking. If I knew they would do it for every hotel I would have never posted it.TheLoadOut, bzinger and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
