    Could somebody please tell me TMC's parking policy while at home. I live in an apartment so naturaly can not park a truck/trailer here. I live in Waco, Tx so there are no TMC yards even close to me. What would my best options be?

    Thank you.

    Ask your county Sheriff's department for their list of acceptable CMV Parking locations. They will have some info for you where you can park it.

    Thanks for the tips.

    I have a Pilot just a couple miles from me, but wouldnt want to leave my Jeep there. Gues it doesnt matter, no friends or family in town so I'd have to take a cab anywhere anyways.

    Thanks again

    Do you currently work for TMC? Might want to check with them, they may help find a place.

    Yea, guess I'm a moron for thinking ahead. Not like forward thinking has ever done anybody good anyhow. I'm such a shmuck.

    I've got wheel time, this isnt my first gig. But it is my first time in an apartment not being able to park a rig in my driveway, so naturaly that's a consern of mine. What would you suggest, wait for my first TAH and figure it out then.

    No you are not a moron, thinking ahead is a good thing. I have been looking at TMC and the Texas regional for quite a while. I have places where I can park the rig but do not feel safe parking my pickup at the locations. Is there any side streets where you can park the truck on hometime that is close to your apartment? I live in N. Ft Worth at 820 and 35 next to an industrial are where I see a lot of truck just parking on the street for a couple days, not very secure though.
