Trailer Parking & Storage Pickering, ON | East-GTA Drop-Lot

Pickering & Durham

Honest About the Drive, and When It Works

Durham has almost no paid commercial trailer parking. The Brampton yard is the closest legal option, but it's a 60-minute commute. Here's how Pickering customers actually use it.

Mid-Week Drop, Weekend Pickup

Park the trailer at the yard during the work week and bobtail home. Pick up Sunday or Monday for the next run.

Long-Term Storage

Between contracts, off-season, or while a unit waits for paperwork. Daily commute concern doesn't apply.

Same-Day Trailer Delivery

We deliver 20'-53' dry vans to Pickering, Ajax, and Oshawa same-day during business hours.

RV / Boat Storage

Cheaper than self-storage for Durham homeowners, fenced, lit, monthly rates.

Trailer Parking for Pickering & Durham Region

Pickering and the rest of Durham (Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa) sit at the east end of the GTA, well-served by the 401 but underserved by paid commercial trailer parking. Most legal drop-lots are concentrated on the 401/407 corridor in Brampton, Caledon, and Vaughan, meaning Durham-based owner-operators routinely park 60+ minutes from home.

Express's Brampton yard at 7072 Mayfield Rd is the closest option, about 60 minutes from Pickering via the 401 westbound. See Brampton yard details »

It's a longer commute than Pickering drivers would prefer for a daily yard, but works well for two patterns we see often:

Mid-week drop, weekend bobtail-home, leave the trailer at the yard during the work week, pick it up Sunday for the next run.
Long-term storage of inactive equipment, between contracts, off-season, or while a unit waits for paperwork. The daily-commute concern doesn't apply, and the yard's fenced/lit security pays off.

Pickering Parking FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have trailer parking near Pickering?

Express's closest yard to Pickering is Brampton at 7072 Mayfield Rd, about 60 minutes via the 401 westbound. Pickering and the rest of Durham region have very limited legal commercial trailer parking, so most owner-operators and fleets serving Pickering park on the GTA's outer ring.

Is the drive too long for a daily commute?

For a daily commute, yes, it's a stretch. The Brampton yard works best for Pickering drivers who park between hauls (not every night), for example, parking the trailer mid-week and bobtailing home, then picking it up Friday or Sunday for the next run.

Do you also serve Ajax and Oshawa?

Yes. The same yard serves Ajax (~55 min west), Oshawa (~70 min west), and the rest of Durham region. We deliver rental trailers eastbound on the 401 same-day during business hours.

What about long-term trailer storage?

For long-term storage of inactive equipment the daily-commute concern doesn't apply, the Brampton yard is a secure, fenced, lit facility well-suited to trailers that don't need to be accessed every day. Multi-month rates apply.

Can I rent a trailer for a Pickering job?

Yes, we deliver 20'-53' road-certified dry van trailers to Pickering, Ajax, and Oshawa same-day during business hours. Or pick up from the Brampton yard if you have your own tractor.
