Addressing the parking gap for commercial vehicles
Addressing the parking gap for commercial vehicles
The growing use of technology and shifting consumer behavior have permanently changed the freight industry, with trucks on the road at all times. The trucking dependency has brought awareness to gaps in commercial vehicle parking infrastructure.
This report dives into the impact of real-world heavy-duty truck parking on existing infrastructure. Discover how to use commercial vehicle insights to determine if current parking facilities are at capacity and how to build for the future of truck stops.

- An analysis of 30 high-stop motorway segments across the U.S. for where nearby parking infrastructure is available or not
- A look at the average stop time, distance traveled pre and post-drive, as well as weekly and hourly breakdowns of truck stops
- A post-analysis deep dive into where additional parking facilities are needed and which are at capacity
What’s inside
Accessing these insights into commercial vehicle parking allows state and regional transportation authorities to create well-informed strategies for developing new parking infrastructure. Where parking shortfalls present themselves, planners can now provide data-driven recommendations on how many additional spaces are needed and where.

RSG and Prologis: Making smarter transportation infrastructure decisions with a data-driven approach
RSG used Altitude by Geotab’s aggregated mobility data to help Prologis understand and improve their supply chain logistics in California’s Central Valley. The study revealed that most heavy truck trips originated from eastern areas, challenging previous assumptions and leading to a revised plan for infrastructure improvements, including interchange placement and EV charging stations. By integrating Altitude data into their travel model, RSG provided Prologis with insights to address key questions about infrastructure investments and optimization. This data-driven approach resulted in heightened government awareness, accelerated infrastructure project timelines, and enhanced supply chain efficiency. Ultimately, Altitude by Geotab enabled Prologis to make more informed site selection and infrastructure decisions to foster smoother and more sustainable supply chains.
Outlining the Path Toward Trucking Electrification
Every day, trucks travel across the United States, delivering goods that keep our communities running. It’s easy to overlook the scale of this operation, but consider this: these vehicles move 13 billion tons of freight annually, worth $14 trillion. As we strive for a more sustainable future, how can we transform this essential sector? Altitude by Geotab’s aggregated mobility data offers a powerful lens to explore the potential of trucking electrification.
