where do you guys and gals that are lucky enough to get to take your trucks home on your days off park your truck without getting ticketed or worse towed...if all goes as I plan I'll be needing to park a truck over the weekends...my drive way at my house is only 9' wide and is a near perfect 90 degrees off of a narrow two lane farm to market road without any shoulder, and I'll be pullin a 48" fixed spread axle flatbed...so where do y'all park legally...TIA

once you get good with it, 2 lanes in enough to get a 48 into a driveway.

Although you may have trouble with the split axle....

Depends on how wide the driveway is.

Find an industrial park, get permission to drop trailer there and BT home. Did it for years. I got 2 tickets for parking a commercial truck (tractor only) in Arlington VA. I told the judge " That isn't a commercial truck. Its my car, I can't get to work w/o it". He let me off.

I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early. YOGI BERRA

There's a restaurant nearby that allows trucks to park in the back lot during the drivers' hometime. Also, one of the locals parks his rig at the terminal up the road from us... and a family member picks him up and shuttles him back and forth.

When hubby comes home he parks his "car hauler" next to our garage, he backs in off a 2 lane very busy road and lucky for us we live kinda in the middle of two towns so nobody throws a fit.....

I must admit between the neigbors fence and our garage I wondered if it would fit but after getting the telephone lines raised about a foot it works just fine and dandy....

good news...a local steakhouse gave me permission to park in the back of their parking lot...its only about 5 miles from the casa...so when the wife picks me up we can have a nice dinner before headin home...the owner asked me to park the truck parallel to the back of the lot so it can be seen from the road...he said having a couple of trucks in your lot is GOOD for business...go figure...

I hope he offered you a GOOD discount on your meals, too! LOL

Way to go

I had/have a like situation here. With our local steak house.

But, it was much easier for me. He used to own a truckstop across the road from the steak house (it's a video store now). He has a HUGE lot on the side and back of the place. Which he allows the locals to use while they are home. We just make sure we leave room for others to come in and out. We're parked right out on the road, for all to see.

It benefits him and OTHER out of town drivers. As the truckstop guide shows our only truckstop to be this little p***ant quickstop on the other end of town. While they can't get fuel. They most certianly can get a decent meal from 5am - 10pm 7 days a week. And have little concern for security.

BONUS, I live 2 blocks from the place. And walk home Additionally. he was our Mayor for a long time. We rarely have issues with out of town Drivers getting harrassed by the Police for "brain farts" aka turns, stops, getting lost, being on a "so-called" restricted street, etc etc.
