Sounds like poor planning on your part. You had a spot, decided to leave at 1am get an empty trailer and then return at 2:30 hoping there would still be a spot open. Probably should have just waited till morning to go get trailer and that way you would not have put yourself in this situation.

rocknroll nik Thanks this.

Never understood the "hard to find a place to park" mentality. I never have a hard time finding a place to stop. And I run mostly the east coast and over to the Chicago area. Instead of complaining about lack of parking, people should do a little better job of trip planning to to avoid this problem.

That's why I liked running at night.

I see a lot of drivers disconnect and use 2 spaces. I don't understand this. I'm hoping they are swapping loads and "reserving" a parking space for the swap. But most of the time they are still there after my ten...........
-
on the swap I got yelled at for that one time and it was because the swap was suppose to happen in 2 hours then 4 hours then he decided he was out of hours and so forth. so I;m not a magician and in some places it can be a bear and when you have to go by someone elses clock its hard to plan. and I ain't perfect like some people.
-
when I trip plan I set myself up to have 2 to three spots where I can park.....this doesn't always work...depending on the area......but I've always managed to find parking.....sometimes I had to earn it so to speak, but most times I've found a spot no problem
