Absolutely. Relay helps drivers find both short- and long-term parking.

Short term:
Your driver can locate and reserve overnight parking with Relay’s GPS-enabled, mobile app. Drivers can book a parking spot with 3 simple steps:

  1. Find a location that works best for when a driver needs to stop for the night
  2. Complete a form indicating time of arrival and departure to secure a spot
  3. Receive a reservation confirmation with details on how to access the property

Long term:
Relay is dedicated to helping carriers and brokers source long-term parking that meets their needs. Our team has developed strong relationships with parking lot operators all over the country, which uniquely enables us to secure parking for our customers.

Our team is ready to get your fleet set up in no time, with average implementation times ranging from 24 hours to just a few days.

For larger fleets with TMS integrations, implementation can take a little longer depending on your team’s resources. On average we see our larger-scale integrations deployed within 2–3 weeks.

Drivers can be set up instantly and do not need to worry about card activations or arrival. Simply list each driver as an authorized user and connect them to policies within the Relay admin portal. This will allow them to use Relay’s digital payment codes immediately, while adhering to your configured policies and Relay’s security measures.
