Parking trailer hometime

Where I live near Dallas, TX I have a local NFI terminal that allows me to park for free as long as I do not block their trucks or interrupt business in any way.

It definitely would not hurt to ask. I also have asked a couple of local churches before that have allowed me to park my whole rig in their lots.

 

In Maryland I went to the local international truck dealer who had 4 acres of toss it yard to throw the trailer into then bobtailed all over like a car. Just had to ask the bossman nicely. May I? And he says sure. And the trailer sat pretty undisturbed. Its easy then because one of the mechanics and I were known to the boss man as a repeat customer etc.

Here in Arkansas I kept a gravel pad I was able to keep a whole set on my land at home but its not ideal. In due time we sold and got rid of a 90 foot 16 wide mobile home off the side property and getting that out and on the state route was a whole ordeal with stopping of traffic. But they got it out. Mud and all.

 

Perhaps the local industrial park has some availability.

 

Basically look where other TTs are parked, and ask. Never hurts to ask. If you don't ask you won't know. I know Bobtail you can usually park where RVs or stored. There might even be a self storage place that has a big enough area for the full TT. They'll charge you. But hopefully wouldn't be too much. But as always ask or you'll never know.

 

I always used a pay truckstop. $20 a day and I used to go home 10 days at a time so it always stung a little handing over $200 when I left, but I never had to worry about the truck getting towed.

 

I pay for a spot with a local business. Me and a couple other drivers use their lot for weekend parking.

 

I leased a spot from the company that I work for now. Just start calling around. Check with your company though. They may want a copy of the lease agreement or written permission and might require the property to have a gate.
