Know every truck. Automate every transaction.
A distribution yard gate is a business chokepoint, not just an entry point. Fleet operators identify equipment by carrier and USDOT number as much as by plate, so NoctoPark combines LPR, vehicle identification and USDOT recognition — a digital identity for the truck and the carrier, not just a record of a plate.
The challenges
Solving the eight biggest truck-parking challenges
01
Not enough available parking
Truck parking is scarce industry-wide, and demand often outpaces the spaces available.
02
Poor utilization of existing spaces
Reserved spots sit empty while other trucks look for parking that's occupied elsewhere.
03
No real-time visibility
Staff can't easily see which spaces are open, occupied or held for a reservation.
04
Manual check-in and check-out
Attendant-based entry and exit slows drivers down and adds a step to every visit.
05
Security and unauthorized parking
Unauthorized trucks can occupy a facility with little record of who came, when or why.
06
Managing different customer types
Daily, overnight, reserved, monthly and fleet accounts each need their own rules and rates.
07
Parking revenue leakage
Overstays, unpaid sessions and misused reserved spaces quietly erode revenue.
08
Cost of operating the facility
Monitoring entrances, verifying trucks and handling payments all add up in staff time.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is USDOT recognition?
Alongside the license plate, the camera reads the USDOT number painted on the cab, so the truck is identified by carrier as well as by plate — the way fleet operators actually think about their equipment.
How does it help with detention disputes?
Every stage is timestamped: arrival at the gate, entry, the parking session and departure. When a carrier disputes an arrival time, the record settles it.
Can it push data to our yard management system?
Yes. Vehicle and session data can be pushed to a TMS, ERP or YMS through API integration.
Who installs it?
A certified NoctoPark partner in your region installs and calibrates; NoctoPark designs the layout, activates the system and supports it.
