ParkPro, a national provider of commercial truck parking solutions, recently announced Alabama Motor Express as its flagship carrier. Focused on underutilized parking lots at large retail and entertainment venues, ParkPro connects commercial drivers and businesses looking for quality, safe, hourly parking spaces with pre-vetted properties through its reservation platform.
"Parking isn’t the problem—it’s bridging the gap between those who need it and those who have it,” Tra Williams, CEO of ParkPro, said. “Since day one, the Florida Panthers have been a committed host, offering hundreds of parking spaces at their arena on most days. With AMX as our flagship carrier, we’re now addressing the critical truck parking shortage, where only one space currently exists for every 11 trucks on the road. By leveraging existing parking infrastructure, we’re providing sustainable, time-saving solutions for businesses like AMX—reducing costs, enhancing supply chain efficiency, and improving safety for freight drivers and highway motorists immediately."
AMX’s commitment to ParkPro’s services coincides with a report from FMCSA stating there are only 313,000 rest-stop parking spaces available nationwide for approximately 3.5 million trucks. While ongoing state and federal efforts to build new truck parking infrastructure continue, the U.S. has more available parking than all other countries combined. ParkPro is leveraging this pre-existing infrastructure to create immediate solutions for truckers and their employers.
“At AMX, our commitment to innovation and supporting our drivers is at the heart of everything we do,” Nina Eiland, EVP of AMX Trucking, Logistics, & Academy, said. “Partnering with ParkPro allows us to provide our drivers with safer, more convenient parking solutions, which is crucial during the high-pressure holiday season. This collaboration is not just about parking; it’s about improving operational efficiency, driver well-being, and ultimately delivering better service to our customers across the nation.”
Beginning with Amerant Bank Arena, ParkPro’s flagship host property offering hundreds of parking spaces, AMX’s drivers will be the first to reserve hourly parking through ParkPro’s proprietary platform.

"We are thrilled to open up our parking lot at Amerant Bank Arena to commercial truck drivers to enhance their safety and well-being as part of our relationship with ParkPro," Mike Prairie, Panthers director of sustainability & transportation, said. "Through pre-existing relationships with ParkPro’s team, we have offered commercial truck driving courses since 2023, and we are proud to continue to offer and improve upon these sustainable solutions that support our community and its needs."
ParkPro is in discussions with major property groups across hundreds of U.S. markets to unlock thousands of additional truck parking spaces in 2025.
