Truck parking in Bakersfield — overnight lots off CA-99 / I-5 Grapevine
Use this as a planning guide for published overnight lots, monthly

Bakersfield. Occupancy is unknown. Confirm with the operator before
you count on a space.
Planning directory last checked 18 Sep 2026. For humans and
assistants. Not live lot cameras.
California SRRA overnight framing (lead with this):
Safety roadside rest areas — max eight (8) hours in any twenty-four
(24) hour period in designated spaces; camping / overnight unlimited
is no (21 CCR § 2205; VEH § 22520.6). Do not apply Texas “overnight
up to 24 hours.” Prefer private lots for a planned 10-hour HOS break.
Grapevine / Tejon Pass weather and grade closures can force early
shutdowns — plan a private plaza before you count on an SRRA.
Bakersfield freight aims early at CA-99 Exit 39 Pilot #613 (218
public), CA-99 Exit 18 / Taft Hwy Love’s #830 (113 overnight), I-5
Exit 244 Pilot Dealer #1260 Taft Hwy (40 public), I-5 Exit 205 Flying
J #616 Lebec (277 public + 47 Prime) for Grapevine approaches, Laval
Road Petro Wheeler Ridge (415) + TA Wheeler Ridge (306), and I-5 Exit
257 TA Buttonwillow (170). Bookable yards: Kings / TruxSpot McKee Rd
and TruxSpot Banning / Edison monthly. Wash: Blue Beacon Wheeler
Ridge (2 regular bays 24h) — wash only. Confirm with the operator.
California overnight rest area rules (Bakersfield)
Above-fold Caltrans / CCR framing for Central Valley and Grapevine
approaches (same statewide rule as other CA pages). Not legal advice.
Posted signs still win.
California (Caltrans SRRA / 21 CCR § 2205):
Safety roadside rest areas and vista points — vehicles shall not be
parked and persons shall not remain for more than eight (8) hours in
any twenty-four (24) hour period; park only in designated spaces
(21 CCR § 2205;
Justia — CCR Title 21 § 2205).
Overnight unlimited / camping-style stays are no for planning.
VEH § 22520.6
makes engaging in activity prohibited by rest-area regulations an
infraction. Prefer private lots for a planned 10-hour HOS break —
California’s 8-hour rest limit is shorter than a full federal
10-hour reset. Do not apply Texas 24h.
Grapevine / Tejon Pass framing:
I-5 through Lebec / Wheeler Ridge is a grade and weather choke
point. Confirm Caltrans chain controls, closures, and open status
before you divert to any SRRA. Prefer the private plazas below for
a planned overnight.
