Hey drivers,

I’m looking into opening a dedicated CMV parking lot in the Bay Area, specifically Richmond, CA, and I wanted to see if there’s interest from the community. As you all know, overnight truck parking around here is extremely limited and it's becoming a real issue for many of us. I’m tentatively planning a spot that’s less than 10 minutes off I-580, and would love your input.

Proposed amenities: 24/7 Access Fully Fenced & Gated Security Cameras Paved Asphalt Lot Restroom on Site Dumpster Access Would offer overnight, weekly, and monthly options.

Before moving forward, I’d appreciate hearing from fellow drivers: Would you be interested in something like this? What would you expect to pay for safe, reliable parking with these features? Would you be interested in more/less features for a higher/lower price? Thanks in advance, and looking forward to your feedback!

I would gladly park in a lot there if it was available. I’ve had trouble several times finding parking anywhere near the Bay Area. I wouldn’t pay any more than $25 a night though. No paid to park lots I’ve stayed at have ever cost me more than $25 and they’ve all offered the same amenities and services you are considering.
