Emergency
For any emergency — crash, fire, medical, or a crime in progress. Call 911 first.
Safe parking for women drivers
This page pulls the safety facts from our lot list into one place, so you can pick a stop with your eyes open — even at 1 a.m.
Pick a lot with safety facts first
Start with the filters. On the home page list, check “Gated or fenced” and “Cameras on record”. The list then shows only lots where a source states that fact.

Staffed, or not?
Big chain truck stops have staff on site all night, plus a store and restrooms. Many private yards are gated and quiet but have no staff at night. Neither fits every driver. Pick the one that fits your night.
Look before you roll in
Lot pages with an aerial view show the yard from above: gates, entrances, light poles, and how alone the lot sits. Check it before you go — not when you get there.
Facts, not scores
We do not score or label any lot “safe”. We show what a source states — a gate, cameras, lights, staff — and the date we checked it. You make the call.

Habits that help at night
- Park near the building, under a light, where cameras can see the truck.
- Back in, so you can pull straight out.
- Lock up. Windows up. Curtains closed.
- Keep cash, cards, and gear out of sight.
- Send someone your plan: the lot name, the town, and your live location.
- Walk with your keys in your hand and your phone charged.
- If a lot feels wrong, go. Trust that feeling and find the next stop.
These habits match the safety guidance shared by the Women In Trucking Association and by women drivers on the road.
