Hello,
In florida it is often hard to find a place to park a tractor trailer. Often enough, many business such as Walmart and Target will let you park overnight but will not on a 34hr reset. Therefore, I have decided to create a list of safe places for truckers to park in FL.
Brevard County, FL
Pilot at 520 and I-95:
Limited parking and is usually full. They do not mind extended parking (more than one day) as long as management knows. Papa Johns delivers to here and there is McDonalds on the opposite side.
Walmart at wickham Rd:
This rest stop has space for 10 tractor trailers and since Walmart owns the properity, it is wise to let management know if you are on a 34hr since they can tow you away if you stay over one night. Perks include a Walmart and Target within walking distance. Also, you have a Subway, Crackerbarrel, and a Burger king within walking distance as well. Papa Johns, Bizarros, Pizza Hut, and dominos deliver to here as well.
These are the only safe places along I-95 to park unless you are staying at a Hotel in the area for a 34hr. If you are, try the Wickham road hotels and the ones off 192 before Palmbay Rd. Keep in mind there have been no truck theft in the areas I mentioned. You can PM me for more information.

All kinds of room off 50,
towards bithlo.
That isn't too far........... -
I gave up on nearby or free parking and I live off Alafaya. I park off Landstreet by the auto auction and pay monthly. It's safe and secure and if I take a few extra days off, I don't have to drive over and pay like I did when I parked at the trash stop on OBT. It's close to all the major highways and truck parts stores, and I don't have to run 408 or 528 and pay the tolls.
If your lucky, your future company might have a drop lot in Orlando where you can park. Several big companies do so it doesn't hurt to ask. -
You figure there would be more truck parking available because of Port Canaveral. -

Great place to park truck in Orlando is Florida Gift fruit Shippers. They have 24/7 security guards, 24/7 access by gate code entry into fenced yard, Cameras, and lots of light at night. They are right off the 408 Expressway near Kirkman and Colonial-HWY 50. Tractor trailer parking cost $125/month and well worth the price for the peace of mind. They also have some spaces for temp. parking and small trucks.
