Bobtail Parking in Jacksonville: Special $99/Month Rate at Ellis Road

Why pay full truck parking rates when you only need space for your tractor? Many drivers in Jacksonville face this issue every month. If you’re running without a trailer—commonly called bobtailing—you’re probably frustrated by the lack of affordable parking options. Most lots charge the same price as full truck parking, even though your tractor takes up less space.

Parking Kingdom is changing that. Our Ellis Road location is now offering bobtail parking in Jacksonville for just $99/month. This exclusive deal gives you 24/7 secured parking close to I-95 and I-10 at a fraction of typical costs. Whether you’re between loads, taking home time, or just need a safe place to store your tractor, this is your solution.

What is Bobtail Parking?

Bobtail Definition

A bobtail is simply a truck tractor operating without a trailer. Some call it "deadheading." This happens when drivers move between loads, head home without freight, or need to position their tractor for the next assignment. Because bobtails take up far less space than a full rig, parking needs are different—and pricing should be too.

When Drivers Need Bobtail Parking

• Between load assignments
• Home time storage
• During maintenance periods
• After dropping trailers locally
• While transitioning between jobs

Why Separate Bobtail Rates Matter

Since bobtails occupy less space and place less wear on a facility, it makes sense to have a separate pricing model. Fair rates help owner-operators and company drivers save hundreds annually while still enjoying secure parking.

The Bobtail Parking Challenge in Jacksonville

Limited Options Available

Most parking lots in Jacksonville charge full truck rates regardless of whether you’re parking just a tractor. Bobtail-specific options are rare. Residential areas and HOAs prohibit tractor parking, and street parking is illegal, leaving drivers with very few choices.

Typical Pricing Problems

Drivers often pay $120-$150 per month—or $10-$15 per day at truck stops—for bobtail parking. These costs add up quickly and fail to account for your smaller footprint.

Location Challenges

• No parking in residential neighborhoods or apartment complexes
• Shopping centers and retail lots disallow tractor parking
• Street parking restrictions enforced
• Rest areas limit parking times
