Home time trailer dropping

I think your best bet is to think outside the box. Drive around your community and look at various businesses and perhaps vacant businesses that have space, that's not locked at night. Then track down the owner and politely ask if you can occasionally drop a trailer or perhaps even leave a vehicle if you feel good about the place. Many don't want to for liability reasons, but some understand and appreciate trucker's needs and will work to accommodate them, perhaps for a modest and reasonable monthly fee.

Look for any size business where you see trucks and trailers already parked there on weekends. And don't rule out some farmers or other land-owners who may have accessible property. Don't park where there may be issues following heavy rains, snow, or where kids meander about frequently. Sometimes you can find a location where the state puts gravel and cinder. Call the regional director and see if he will have a problem with you parking there.

 

CK truck stops near by 1st or Repair shops

 

Type goblue in the search box and look for one of his posts. He's a Grand Rapids guy. Touch base with him by Private Message.

 

Look around for local businesses. Also, you might want to look into local diesel repair shops, storage facilities (a lot of them have room for boats, RVs, campers, tractors, trailers, etc).

 

if you are under a load most companies wont allow you to drop the trailer so you need to check on that also

You can drop in any street in DETROIT....

 

Just remember that if you drop it in Michigan, the owner of the property can claim it as abandon and have it towed without notifying the company. When they find the trailer, they will have to pay for the tow and storage fees under Michigan law.

In other words - GET permission.

 

Where in GR are you? If you are under a load, it might not be a good idea to park where you aren't able to maintain visual contact with the trailer. If you are on the south end, I could recommend a couple of places.

 

Just drop it at walmart and let the manager know about your situation and they will help you out
