? about parking and hometime...

Each company has a different policy on this, Some do it as you are describing and others will find a secure location for you and require the truck stored there, and some will allow you to drop the trailer somewhere and bobtail home. It really just depends on who you will be driving for. Also before leaving a truck unattended at a truck stop for an extended period of time be sure to check that they allow that.

 

Yep... most companies don't really want you to park your rig in a residential spot... tends to get them towed... best advice: find a Walmart nearby that allows overnight parking...

 

You will have to talk wih your future OCM for whatever terminal they put you in. You should have no problem leaving at a truck stop. If you leave it at the TA, they might reimburse for parking too.

 

think thats why it was posted in the May forums ^.^

 

If you do not live near a terminal, you are required to find a secure place to park your truck and trailer during hometime, usually this is a nearby truckstop. You are very rarely without a trailer, and not supposed to bobtail without permission, which you probably won't get.

 

Buy yer own Truck and park where you want (legally).

 

Secure within reason ... Even Mays old Fontana yard that was fenced in and had 24 hour private security, had breakins with trailers, having Fizio TV's stolen from 2 trailers. Unfortunately, it was the private security that was breaking in and stealing .. I was there the night/morning they got busted ..
