Hey,
Trying to understand where to store a tractor trailer during days off. I'm new to the industry and trying to understand what to do. Seems like the city and my neighbors aren't fond of a truck nearby.
Thanks!

Paid for parking space. Mechanic shop may rent space. Storage units or other transport companies.
Diesel Dave Thanks this. -
When I lived in Biloxi , I parked my rig at a muffler shop that was about two blocks from my house .
was driving by one day and noticed they had a large parking lot and stopped in and introduced myself and asked if I could park there a couple days a week when I was home and had a trailer with me.
I mostly hauled refrigerated containers from the port with perishable fruit in them so most of the time I was home I was bobtail , which my neighbors , if they cared, never complained about being parked in front of my house , but I lived in a blue collar neighborhood full of steelworkers and shipbuilders and plumbers etc . -
Park it in the local police department parking lot. They will watch it for you.

Some advertise truck parking, it's just a empty lot. There's also RV storage that has shore power plugs and all that. You could park in a truck stop but you'll be using a spot another driver might need

I leave my truck at my local truck stop for up to 3 days at a time. I've talked to an employee at Love's and they see people leave their trucks for over a week at a time at that location and they don't call a tow truck service. You might want to ask employees at your local truck stop.

Near me, the same truck is parked on an exit ramp several nights a week.
i assume the driver lives in a nearby apartment complex . -
Its amazing just how many people seem be ok allowing you to park somewhere when you offer to pay for it, just suggesting that's all.
dunchues and Diesel Dave Thank this.
