What truck parking actually costs

Why there's no national average

Truck parking is priced by term — per day, per week or per month — and by the size of the bay. A monthly spot for a tractor-trailer costs a different amount in every market, because the land under it does. Nobody bills you the national average, so this page doesn't quote one.

Where a real number exists, it's in the table above, read from live inventory. Where it doesn't, nothing is shown — a blank beats a guess you'd plan a route around.

What moves the price

Five things, in roughly this order:

• Market. Land near a port, a rail ramp or a dense metro rents for more, and the yard's rate carries it.
• Term. Per-day cost usually drops as the term lengthens. Each yard publishes its own daily, weekly and monthly rates, so the difference is visible on the yard page rather than promised here.
• Bay size. A 53-ft pull-through costs more than a van bay. Compact bays take vehicles up to 22 ft, Standard up to 53 ft, Max up to 65 ft — and not every yard sells every size.
• Security. Fencing, cameras and controlled entry cost the operator money and show up in the rate. Each GateHog yard lists what it runs on its own page.
• Demand. A full yard has no reason to discount. A new one does.

Daily, weekly or monthly?

Daily fits a night or two between loads. Weekly suits a layover or a job across town. Monthly is usually the cheapest per-day rate and the right shape for a home base — GateHog monthly spots are month-to-month.

There's no site-wide rate card, because the yards aren't interchangeable. Every yard publishes its own rates for the terms and sizes it offers; compare them on the yard's page, or browse yards by city.
