Choosing where to park your truck or trailer isn’t a small decision. Between security concerns, accessibility, and cost, the wrong choice can lead to unnecessary expenses or downtime. In a crowded GTA market, knowing what to look for in a professional parking yard makes all the difference.

1. Prioritize Location

Time is money in trucking, and every minute spent navigating city traffic adds up. The best truck and trailer parking yards are those strategically located near major routes. ET Transport’s parking yard near Major Mackenzie and Highway 50 is ideal for drivers running Ontario-wide or cross-border lanes, providing immediate access to Highways 427, 407, and 400.

2. Evaluate Security Systems

The security of your vehicle and cargo should never be compromised. Look for facilities with proper fencing, access control, lighting, and cameras. ET Transport’s six-acre yard includes all these features — a fully fenced perimeter, electric gates, and continuous 24/7 surveillance.

3. Consider Flexibility

Many facilities require long-term contracts or prepayment commitments. ET Transport’s month-to-month system ensures you pay only for what you need, when you need it. This is especially valuable for owner-operators who may change routes frequently or for fleets adjusting to new contracts.

4. Inspect Maintenance Standards

A well-maintained yard isn’t just about appearance — it’s about safety. Potholes, poor lighting, or unmarked spaces can cause damage and delay. ET Transport takes pride in maintaining a clean, well-lit, and organized facility, creating a professional and hazard-free environment.

5. Understand Pricing and Transparency

Hidden fees are all too common in the trucking world. Transparent pricing makes it easy to budget without surprises. At ET Transport, rates are clear: $425 per month for truck-and-trailer parking, $250 for bobtails, and $25 for cars. Hourly parking at $75 is also available for short stops.

6. Reputation and Reliability

When trusting someone with your truck and cargo, reputation matters. Established companies with a strong presence in the industry tend to provide consistent quality and customer support. ET Transport has been serving the trucking community for years, offering reliability that independent lots often can’t match.

Conclusion

Choosing a truck and trailer parking yard is about more than finding empty space — it’s about securing peace of mind. A professional, secure, and flexible facility like ET Transport’s GTA Truck and Trailer Parking provides everything drivers need to protect their investments and operate efficiently.
