ParkPro taps Spinoso Real Estate Group for first of several truck parking sites, starting at Lakeland Square Mall

May 20, 2025

ParkPro announced they have partnered with Spinoso Real Estate Group as the latest addition to its platform of host properties. The rollout begins with Lakeland Square Mall, situated along the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando, where an estimated 18,000 trucks travel daily and demand for temporary parking has reached an unsustainable level.

"Americans are paying for the lack of truck parking every day, both in lost wages to the driver and higher prices to the consumer—even though America has more parking than the rest of the world combined,” says Tra Williams, Founder and CEO of ParkPro. “ParkPro can solve this problem with instant scale and without spending a single dime of taxpayer dollars.”

Williams has deep ties with Florida’s transport and logistics industry, operating the State’s largest CDL training company and working closely with industry stakeholders for years. The launch of Spinoso Real Estate Group’s truck parking offerings through ParkPro comes amid a historic parking shortage, with reports indicating there is only one available space for every 11 trucks on the road. Using ParkPro’s reservation-based system, truck parking will now be available to drivers passing through I-4, starting with flagship userAlabama Motor Express (AMX) this month.

Focused on excess parking lots at large retail and event venues, ParkPro connects commercial truck drivers and their employers seeking quality, safe, hourly parking spaces with pre-vetted properties (hosts) through its reservation platform. With support from the Florida Trucking Association, which help identify Florida’s highest-demand truck parking markets, ParkPro’s relationships with host properties are rapidly unlocking new parking inventory for thousands of drivers across the nation. By utilizing ParkPro, the transport and logistics industry can regain the 12% of annual productivity that the American Trucking Association says is lost while searching for truck parking. ParkPro’s unique two-way marketplace prevents the need for costly and time-consuming new truck parking construction projects.
