A truck’s next delivery starts with where it’s parked. By working with Truck Parking Club, CPC has cut the time it takes to secure a drop yard from months to days, adding 7 yards and more than 170 truck and trailer spaces across five states in about two months.
CPC Logistics Regional Manager Nicholas Sablich, CTP, recently sat down with Truck Parking Club for a case study interview about how its parking services support CPC’s private fleet customers. The conversation highlights an important part of CPC Fleet Solutions: managing the operational details that help a private fleet reach its full potential.
The Right Parking Is Part of the Operation
CPC is a non-asset-based private fleet management company. CPC does not own its customers’ trucks, but it helps manage the operations around them, including securing the parking that supports each private fleet network.
Many people know CPC for the professional drivers it provides. Behind those drivers is a broader range of management services, operational decisions and supplier relationships that help private fleets perform.
That includes identifying domicile locations, where trucks and drivers are based, and drop yards, where trailers can be staged or exchanged. The right locations reduce unnecessary travel, support efficient routes and driver schedules, and keep trucks available for productive work.
From Months of Searching to a Single Request
Before working with Truck Parking Club, CPC operations managers often had to source parking and drop-yard space for customers themselves. That meant researching properties online, visiting potential sites, negotiating with landlords and coordinating individual lease agreements. The process could take one to two months per location.
Today, a single request to Truck Parking Club’s Fleet Parking team brings back vetted options that meet each operation’s requirements, and every location lands on one consolidated bill. A search that once took months now takes days. The results so far:
- 7 yards secured in about two months
- 170+ truck and trailer spaces
- 5 states
- One platform and one bill for every location
Just as valuable is the ability to book space for a short period and see how a location works in practice. Traffic, access and site conditions can look different once trucks start moving through a yard.
“Being able to test a location before making a longer commitment gives us more flexibility to find the right fit for our customers,” Sablich said. “It also means our managers can spend less time searching for parking and more time supporting our drivers.”
Better Locations. Greater Control.
That flexibility helps CPC establish new operating locations, reposition equipment as customer needs change and find ways to improve each network. For private fleet customers, it adds up to more control:
- Speed to market. New lanes and locations can be supported in days or weeks, not months.
- Smarter networks. Well-positioned yards support trailer exchanges that keep freight moving while letting drivers work different portions of a route.
- Safety and security. Drivers and equipment have safe, legal places to park instead of highway ramps or shoulders, supporting CPC’s safety record and reducing risk for customers.
- Cost visibility. Centralized billing replaces the separate agreements and payments that once came with every location.
- Driver experience. Yards positioned where drivers need them mean less time getting to the truck and more time doing the job well.
“Our operations managers are our greatest source of intelligence when it comes to continuously improving the flexibility and control we offer our private fleet customers,” said John Bickel Jr., President of CPC Logistics. “This relationship with Truck Parking Club is one example of how we deliver better service that benefits all stakeholders, perhaps most importantly, the driver.”
A Partnership Worth Sharing
CPC appreciates Truck Parking Club giving Nick and the team the opportunity to share this experience. It shows how the right supplier relationship can turn an everyday operational challenge into greater flexibility for customers, and Truck Parking Club’s marketplace is helping solve one of trucking’s most persistent problems.
Through CPC Fleet Solutions, CPC brings professional drivers, fleet management experience and operational support together to help customers control the road ahead.
Sometimes, that starts with finding the right place to park.
