Book Truck and Trailer Parking in Altoona, PA

Altoona, PA sits on the I-99 corridor, so your approach depends on where you are coming from. That matters if you are trying to stay ahead of HOS and keep your day moving.

• From the north, run I-99 South to the PA-764/Duncansville exit. Take that exit, then follow PA-764 North into Altoona.
• From the south, including Bedford, take I-99 North to the US 22 West/Frankstown Rd exit.
• From the east or west, connect to I-99 by way of US 22 or US 220. If you are coming from Pittsburgh, stay on US 22 East until it meets I-99, then take I-99 North into Altoona. If you are coming from Lock Haven, head south on US 220 until it merges with I-99 South, then keep straight to Altoona.
• Inside the city, watch Plank Road (US 220). It is a major route and can get busy during peak hours, so plan your turns and watch the signs before you commit.

If your HOS clock is tight, line up your reserved truck parking before you roll in. That keeps you from circling after a long run, and it helps if you are bobtail or hauling an oversized load and need big rig parking without wasting time hunting around town.

Use reserved truck parking in Altoona, PA to fit your route around the main roads first.

• I-99 runs north to south and links you to the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76), so it is the main spine for getting in and out of town.
• US 22 runs east to west and is another key route through Blair County. It can back up during peak hours, but it is still the quickest way across town.
• If you haul oversized freight or drive a larger rig, watch PA 36 and PA 764. These smaller highways have tight bends and lower clearance bridges, so slow down and give yourself room.
• Plan ahead for big rig parking. Pick your approach before dark, then stay on the road that fits your clock instead of hunting once traffic builds in town.
• If you are deadheading, the bigger roads are usually the cleaner move for a fast pass through Altoona.
