CargoDox is a marketplace for commercial truck parking, starting in the Chicago area. Find a lot on the map, see the price with every tax already included, pick your exact spot on the lot photo, and book it. No calls, no haggling, no surprise fees. WHAT YOU GET • Real lots, real spots. Every listing is a partner-run lot with numbered spaces. You pick the number, and that space is yours. • One price, all in. Daily, weekly and monthly rates with taxes included, shown before you pay. Monthly parking renews on the 1st until you cancel. • Gate access in the app. Your access code (or "open lot") is on your booking the moment it's confirmed. No waiting for a text or a call. • Room for what you drive. Tractor, trailer, or both. Save your trucks once and pick one at booking. • Directions your way. Copy the lot's coordinates or address into the navigation app you already use, or open it in Maps. • Manage it yourself. See your bookings, change spots, turn auto-renew off, or cancel inside the policy window, all from the app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the map and pick a lot. 2. Pick your spot and your dates. 3. Pay on Stripe's secure checkout. 4. Pull in. Your access details are on the booking. CargoDox does not own or operate lots. We connect drivers with lot owners and handle the booking and payment. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card number. You can browse lots without an account and sign up when you're ready to book. Questions? https://cargodox.com/contact
