Truck Parking Near I-37, South of San Antonio
A gated, paved yard a few minutes off the interstate — for drivers running the San Antonio–Corpus Christi corridor.
I-37 corridor
Park off the interstate instead of on the ramp
I-37 is a working corridor, not a scenic route. It moves port freight out of Corpus Christi, sand and crude out of the Eagle Ford, produce coming up from the Valley on US-281, and everything San Antonio distribution centers push south. What it does not have is enough legal parking. Anyone who has run it at 9 p.m. knows the pattern: the truck stops between San Antonio and Three Rivers are full, the rest area shoulders are lined with trucks, and the next real option is another hour of driving you may not have on the clock.
Our yard sits at 6785 FM1784 in Pleasanton, a few minutes west of I-37 by way of TX-97. That location is the whole point. You get off the interstate, make a couple of turns on roads wide enough for a 53-footer, and you're behind a gate. In the morning you're back on I-37 in under ten minutes, headed either direction.
Parking south of San Antonio instead of in town changes the math in a few ways. You skip the Loop 410 and 1604 congestion that eats twenty minutes each way. You avoid the in-town lots that price by proximity to downtown. And if your next stop is Corpus, Three Rivers, George West, or anywhere in the shale, you've already made progress instead of parking backward.
The Eagle Ford factor matters here too. When drilling activity picks up, the stretch of I-37 between Loop 1604 and Three Rivers fills with sand haulers, water trucks, and crude tankers running tight cycles. Those trucks compete for the same handful of spots you need for a reset. A reserved spot in a gated yard takes you out of that competition entirely.
The lot is paved and lit, with wide lanes, camera coverage, and 24/7 gate access — no attendant to wait on at 3 a.m. Rates run daily, weekly, and monthly; the full card is on our pricing page.

FAQ
I-37 parking questions, answered straight
Which I-37 exit do I use for the lot?
Take the TX-97 exit for Pleasanton and Jourdanton, then head west toward town and pick up FM 1784. It's roughly five to seven minutes off the interstate — close enough that you're not burning a half hour of clock to park, far enough out that you're not fighting city traffic to get back on the highway.
Is there truck parking directly on I-37?
There are truck stops along the corridor, but they fill early and the overflow ends up on ramps and shoulders. We're a dedicated gated yard a few minutes off the interstate, which means your spot is reserved instead of first-come-first-shoulder.
Can I stage here for a Corpus Christi port run?
Yes, and a lot of drivers do. The lot sits about two hours north of Corpus on I-37, so you can rest here, roll out early, and hit the port when it opens instead of paying San Antonio rates or sleeping on a ramp near the terminal.
Do you take trailers only, without the tractor?
Yes — trailer-only storage and drop-and-hook space are both available. Details are on the trailer storage page.
