What if the most profitable square footage on your self-storage property is the part you're not charging for? Truck parking is emerging as one of the fastest-growing ancillary revenue plays in storage real estate and most facility owners are standing on top of it without knowing it.

Joe Downs sits down with returning guest Sydnie Wilda, VP of Properties Self Storage at Truck Parking Club, the platform now operating across more than 6,500 locations nationwide.

With nearly a decade of self-storage experience spanning onsite management, operations, and ownership, Wilda breaks down how storage investors can turn vacant lots, unused acreage, and fenced-off expansion pads into immediate revenue — with no construction, no major commitment, and full operator control.

Two or three truck spots at $250 a month adds $43,000 to your facility's value at a seven cap.

The opportunity is here now.
