Truck Parking in Emporia, KS

Emporia, Kansas is conveniently located at the crossroads of two major highway systems, making it a key stop for truckers on their long-haul journeys.

• To the north and south, you've got Interstate 35, part of America's main artery running from Minnesota all the way down to Texas. If you're coming from the north, you'll pass through Ottawa before hitting Emporia; from the south, you'll roll through Wichita and El Dorado.
• Running east-west is U.S. Route 50, stretching coast to coast. Coming in from the east? You'll cruise through Osage City and Reading; from the west, you'll navigate Great Bend and Hutchinson before reaching Emporia.
• For those hauling oversized loads or looking to avoid interstate traffic, Kansas Highway 99 provides an alternative route running north-south through Emporia. It's a bit more scenic but still gets you where you need to go.
• And let's not forget about U.S. Route 56 for those coming in from Baldwin City in the northeast or Great Bend in the west - another solid option for bobtail or trailer-only rigs.

No matter your route or rig type, rest assured that our parking service caters to your needs with flexible booking options and spacious spots.
