    Incquire your local fairgrounds.

    Usually requires a parking pass around $50 in cities but its a write off so who cares.

    Tas around Florence and some McDonalds south of Cindy on 75 have truck parking they might let you stay for a couple days if you say pretty please.
     
    LARRYBROWN Thanks this.

    I know, there are some places north of Cincy that have spots for rent. I believe there is one on Duff Dr or international drive in West Chester. If you drive up there I remember there was a sign hanging from a fence that advertised truck parking both paved, lit, and fenced in.
     
    LARRYBROWN Thanks this.

    What is parking in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati? TA is usually so full you can't find a spot. Maybe I just found out it is because other truckers are using the parking lot for several days.

    You can have my old spot behind the Florence Antique Mall, just keep it between you and me. http://goo.gl/maps/t5wEy (You'll want to come around the S side of the building, and S L O W L Y. Nitwits fly around the corners of the building like they think they're the only vehicle or person on the planet.)

    Plenty of police presence there. Buddy of mine had a business in the complex, but I never had any cop encounters.

    A good trick for finding parking where none seems to be is looking around for industrial areas in Google Maps satellite view.

    Bringing this thread back because I'm planing to move to Cincinnati soon and need a place to park my bobtail. I'd assume finding bobtail parking would be easier but so far I got nothing. Not sure where to look.

    Sorry for late reply, been tied up with other things...

    But, yes, I found bobtail parking. Actually several options.
    1st, some storage places rent out monthly parking spaces. Most already have a garage space for cars, but some have outside lots for commercial vehicles. Most charge around $150. One place, Devon Self Storage near downtown Cincinnati quoted me $50 / month, but it's an outside open lot. Not fenced in.

    2nd, call around different mechanic shops, some rent parking.

    3rd, I wish I saved the address, but there is a big lot that just opened up right in the middle of Cinci, it's big enough for bobtails and trailers. If I find the name and address of it, I'll update this thread. $150 / month.

    Btw, I moved to Northern Kentucky, about 20 mins from Cinci and found a parking place about 7 mins from home. It's at a mechanic shop.

    I’m thinking on moving to Florence, KY myself. Does the shop where you park still have spots? If yes what is the name of the shop?
