CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Truck Parking Club (TPC) is appointing Victor Westerlund as CFO as the company continues to scale its national network.
“Victor brings exactly the kind of experience we need at this stage of growth,” said Evan Shelley, founder, CEO, TPC. “His experience building financial systems, raising capital and navigating scale will be critical as we continue to expand our network and strengthen our position in the market.”
Victor Westerlund
Westerlund brings more than a decade of experience scaling high-growth companies, most recently serving as Vice President of Finance at Stax Payments. During his tenure, he helped build the company’s financial operations from the ground up, supporting its growth from an early-stage startup to a company that reached a reported valuation of up to $1 billion, while supporting multiple capital raises, acquisitions and a majority exit.
At Truck Parking Club, Westerlund will lead financial strategy and infrastructure development as the company enters its next phase of rapid expansion.
Tackling the Truck Parking Shortage
TPC is addressing the nationwide shortage of truck parking, which federal data links to hundreds of fatal crashes each year. Since launching, the company has rapidly scaled its marketplace by activating underutilized space on private property, recently surpassing 5,000 locations nationwide while helping hundreds of thousands of drivers find safe, legal and efficient parking.
“Truck parking is one of the biggest pain points in the logistics ecosystem, and the opportunity to solve it at scale is incredibly compelling,” Westerlund said. “There’s a large, underserved market here, and Truck Parking Club has built a strong foundation and a clear path forward. I’m excited to join the team at this stage and help drive the next phase of growth.”
Westerlund joins Truck Parking Club at a pivotal moment, as the company continues to expand its marketplace and explore new go-to-market opportunities, including deeper engagement with fleets and enterprise partners, with plans to grow to 10,000 locations by the end of 2026. Westerlund will focus on building a robust financial foundation to support and accelerate this growth.
