Book Truck and Trailer Parking in Scranton, PA

If you're headed into Scranton, PA, plan your approach by direction and keep your HOS in mind before you run out of hours.

• From the north, take I-81 South. That interstate runs from the Canadian border to Tennessee and cuts right through Scranton on the way.
• From the south, use I-81 North. It's a straight run up from states like Virginia and Maryland, so you can stay on one road for a long stretch.
• From the east, I-84 West is the main route. It connects Scranton with New England states like Connecticut and Massachusetts.
• From the west, take I-80 East to I-380 North. That path links Scranton with Ohio and other Midwestern states, then drops you into the city.
• Once you arrive after a long day, look for big rig parking that fits your schedule. The marketplace also lists semi truck parking and reserved truck parking, with options for bobtailing or hauling an oversized load.

Here’s the road map for the Scranton, PA metro area:

• I-81 is your main north-south route. It links Scranton with Binghamton and Syracuse to the north and runs south toward Harrisburg, so it’s the backbone for most through trips.
• I-84/I-380 branches off I-81 and points east toward New York City and west toward Erie. If your route crosses the region, this is the cut you’ll watch closely.
• The Pennsylvania Turnpike, also called I-476, runs south from Scranton through Allentown to Philadelphia. It’s a toll road, so keep your E-ZPass ready or carry cash for the booths.
• U.S. Route 6 runs east-west through the city and connects Scranton with Carbondale and Tunkhannock. It can be a smart option if you want to stay off the interstates.

Plan ahead before your clock gets tight. Use the marketplace’s pre-planning parking feature so you can line up big rig parking, semi truck parking, or reserved truck parking before you run out of HOS. That matters if you’re bobtailing or pulling a full trailer and trying to avoid creeping at low speed or parking illegally after dark.
