where to park ?

kinda putting the cart before the horse aren't you
every OTR driver that is allowed to take his truck home
finds a spot to park it
a Truckstop or local business
self storage places
ride around your town and look around

for me getting a job was first priority then
I could figure out the rest

 

Ask your company on their bobtail policy. I doubt they would allow you home under load, but a lot will let you take their/your rig home.
Just remember, it says "Central" on the side of the truck, not "TangerineGT" . . . hee hee.

 

I personally think it's wise to get a jump on coordinating where you're going to park everything. I have to drop my trailer,( usually at Mayflower agent) then I have to bobtail to my storage unit to pick up my vehicle and leave truck. It's a pain,but unless you live in an area without an H.O.A no subdivision will allow "truck parking". So a little work is involved to just get home.

 

If you're only 40 miles from Harrisburg, you have a huge amount of places to park your rig, both paid or free. If you had your location I could help you better.

 

I am a new driver and I just asked my DM where to park the truck. He had a list of safe places to park that is approved by the company.

 

Your company will have a list. Some companies have deals with Home Depot, Lowes, and etc.... The biggest thing is to stay out of the way and get a king pin lock for the trailer.

 

Is the Truckstop on I83 right by the scales no longer open? Drop your trailer there and bobtail home or have a friend pick you up. When I lived on top of Reesers Summit in New Cumberland, I paid to park right down the hill at the Trailer shop, but I was home every other day or so.
