Why choose an secure truck parking ?
Road transport is a key part of the French economy. Every day, thousands of trucks cross the country delivering goods and materials.
But for both transport companies and truck drivers, one important question comes up again and again:
Where can we park safely during rest breaks or overnight stops?
That’s where secure truck parkings come in — a solution more and more drivers are turning to. Here’s why 👇
✅ Vehicle and cargo safety
Theft and damage are still common, especially in open, unsupervised rest areas.
A secure truck parking, like the ones offered by Park+, greatly reduces these risks with:
Fenced perimeter
Controlled access gates
24/7 video surveillance
Security patrols or on-site staff
👉 Peace of mind for both drivers and fleet managers.
🧰 Comfort and driver well-being
A well-rested driver is a safer driver. At Park+, every detail is designed to provide a true break from the road:
Indoor lounge with TVs, Wi-Fi, and microwaves
Free showers and restrooms (separate for men and women)
Self-service laundry (with detergent included)
Outdoor pétanque area and fitness space

📍 Smart locations
Park+ truck parkings are located at strategic points along major French roads:
Réau (77): near the N104 and A5
Langres (52): between the A5 and A31
Montbartier (82): on the Toulouse – Montauban route
These key locations help transporters plan efficient and compliant breaks — without leaving their main route.
📊 Stay compliant with EU rules
European law (Regulation CE No. 561/2006) sets strict rules for driving and rest times.
Parking at a secure site helps drivers meet these rules under safe and stress-free conditions — without risking fines, theft, or delays.
💡 A smart investment for transport companies
Choosing a secure parking is more than just safety — it’s a smart move for your business:
Fewer incidents or thefts
Well-rested drivers = fewer accidents
Stronger brand image with clients
👉 It’s a strategic, human, and cost-effective decision.
🧾 In short
Choosing a secure truck parking means protecting your drivers, vehicles, and goods.
At Park+, we offer safe, modern, and convenient infrastructures at Réau, Langres, and Montbartier.
Because a good stop makes for a better journey. 🚛
How to choose the right truck parking for your drivers: criteria and best practice
The first and most important thing to look for is security. Theft, break-ins, and vandalism are still common — especially in rest areas with no surveillance.
A good truck parking area should have at least:
A fenced perimeter
Controlled access (with a code, badge, or automatic gate)
24/7 video surveillance
On-site staff or security patrols
👉 At Park+, all our sites offer this level of security — giving drivers and transporters real peace of mind.
🧰 2. Driver comfort matters
Truck drivers spend long hours behind the wheel. A proper rest area is not just a bonus — it’s a sign of respect, and it improves performance.
Look for parking areas with:
An indoor rest space (with Wi-Fi, TV, and microwaves)
Clean and free showers and toilets
A laundry area on-site (especially for long-haul routes)
Outdoor relaxation spaces (seating, games, or fitness zones)
All Park+ locations include these features to help drivers truly rest and recharge.
📍 3. Strategic location
A parking area can have great features, but if it’s far off the route, it’s not practical.
The right location helps you:
Follow legal rest schedules
Avoid unnecessary detours
Simplify your transport planning
Park+ parking sites are located in strategic areas in France:
Réau (77): near N104 and A5
Langres (52): between A5 and A31
Montbartier (82): on the Toulouse–Montauban route
👉 Easy access = smoother logistics.
📊 4. Stay compliant with driving rules
Reminder: truck drivers must follow strict EU driving and rest regulations (Regulation CE No. 561/2006).
Badly timed or badly located breaks can lead to:
Fines
Extra stress for drivers
Delays in delivery
With a secure and well-equipped parking, you stay compliant and reduce risks.
💡 Best practices for transporters
Map out parking locations in advance for regular routes
Ask your drivers for feedback on stops they use
Book in advance when possible to guarantee space
Choose secure and well-equipped sites to keep your drivers happy and loyal
