    What's the longest period of time you've left your rig at a truck stop? I'm going away for a week and I didn't want to come back to my truck being towed.

    My son has left his rig parked at the Loves in Canton, Ms. for a week at a time while away for USNavy reserves and all he did was inform the front desk or manager and never an issue. Just check with the front desk or manager for permission and get it in writing if necessary.

    I’ve parked my truck for a week at a local stop a couple times. I just left the parking lights on and threw the APU on battery standby. I figured between the lights and the APU kicking on, it might deter theft. Probably not, but the truck was fine. That lot is never full, so I didn’t feel too bad. I just make sure to spend money there when I can

    I'd be more worried about losing a mirror or my hood.

    I wouldn't mind if they helped themselves to fuel, but tires is another thing
