A few questions related to stopping for the night. I can see how anyone spending any time out there has had to get creative with parking. Blending in, maybe parking someplace you're not supposed to, no truck stops, time ran out, wanted to be close to someplace you wanted to do something at, whatever the case. What tricks of the trade have you used to accomplish this? And what is the worst parking scenario you've found yourself in?
So far I've heard a few from the other truckers I've asked.
1. I go to the gym, will park in a giant open area of a parking lot, that is not agreeable with semi parking, but I park in an open end and leave a big sign on my door that I'll be back in 30 minutes and be moving the truck. He said this works 99% of the time.
2. He will find big chain stores, like Home depot, furniture stores etc, where his company trucks have or are making deliveries and they are parked their late at night waiting for morning to drop. He just blends in and with same trucks from his company in their rear of the store, nobody has ever questioned him.
3. Local large warehouses with parking lots. They always take morning deliveries and sometimes trucks will arrive middle of the night.
How often do you "stealth" park?
