The cheapest stall on the yard, because it is the right size
A tractor on its own is roughly 20 to 25 feet. Paying for an 80-foot tractor-trailer stall to park one is money going nowhere.
Keeping the trailer here too? Trailer storage runs on the same yard from $89.
Why here
The tractor has to sleep somewhere that is not a residential street
Bobtail parking is mostly an owner-operator problem: the truck is the business, home has no room for it, and the street either will not have it or should not.
- Ordinances and covenantsMunicipalities around Katy and Houston restrict commercial vehicles on residential streets, and neighbourhood covenants often go further. ⚠️ Check your own before assuming.
- A tractor is conspicuousEven without a trailer it is not a pickup. On a suburban street it invites attention you do not want.
- Somewhere to leave it between runsDrop the trailer, park the tractor, go home — instead of taking the whole rig with you.
- Five minutes back to I-10Close enough that collecting it does not cost you half a morning.
- Same gate as the trailerTractor on a stall, box on another, both behind one fence.
- Tire shop on the propertyJosh’s Tire Shop operates inside the gate — independent business, own hours and pricing.
Left standing
A parked tractor is worth more than most of what is around it
Between runs the truck sits unattended for days at a time, which is exactly when where it sits starts to matter.

Questions
Before you bring it over
How much is bobtail parking?
From $89 a month or $10 a day for a 40-foot stall, which takes a tractor without a trailer comfortably.
What is a bobtail?
A tractor unit driven without a trailer attached. It is also called a detached tractor cab, and a day cab is the short-wheelbase version without a sleeper.
Do I need a full 80-foot space?
No, and you should not pay for one. A tractor on its own is roughly 20 to 25 feet, so the 40-foot stall at $89 is the right size and the cheapest on the yard.
Can I leave it during the week and take it out at weekends?
Yes. Access is 24/7 on your own app credential, so the truck comes and goes on your schedule rather than the yard's.
Is it secure enough to leave a tractor for a month?
The yard is gated with individual credentials, camera monitored, fenced on every side, LED lit end to end, generator backed and resident managed, with no blindside stalls.
Can I pick up a trailer here as well?
Yes — trailer storage runs on the same yard from $89 a month, so the tractor and the box can live behind the same gate.
