    Alright guys, so I have this load I'm picking up from Hattiesburg, Mississippi going to Santa Ana, California. I see that I'm gonna take I-20E to I-10E and go all the way there, I know truck stops near big cities like LA gets packed early and fast so I was wondering if you guys know a good one I could get there and find a spot, don't need to be near the city, maybe about 50-100 miles away from the place. Thanks!

    There used to be a lot of off street parking in the LA area, which is, to be honest, all of Southern California. But not anymore. The RV bums have taken it all over. You can't rely on it anymore.

    Used to be some good hidey holes in city of industry that were safe and quiet. Probably overtaken by homeless now

    Good places to park, if they are near your delivery, is a produce place. Find one nearby, and park there. If you are reefer no one cares. Dry van, I don't know.

    What time of day is your delivery scheduled?

    Can you park at the customer?

    Does the customer know of any available parking nearby?

    I have a Tanker.

    It's at 10AM, I'm hauling yeast ( Which I absolutely hate lol... ) if I can get there early which I possibly am, I don't know if they gonna unload me early or not and if I get and they don't, even if they have onsite parking which looking at the satellite imagine I don't think they have, the yeast will be settle in, so I need to stop at least a couple of miles away so it could mix up when I delivered it.
     
    Bean Jr. and Trucker61016 Thank this.
