    Check your zoning laws, there have been a few drivers that have gotten fines for parking a tractor in the drive way, also find shippers in your area for your company that load drop and hooks, or company yards

    Not to worried about parking the tractor in my driveway as I will be out for about 11 days or so and home for 3. I live in the sticks and own a few acres. Hopefully no one complains. There is also a tree service owner who parks numerous CMVs on his property and while u might hear some grumbling no one has called the cops to complain. I like your idea about finding a customer in the area that Roehl delivers to. I don't think they have a drop yard close but I will check. I have other options but I don't want to pay 75 $ s month for parking the trailer 6 days.

    $75 per month to park it 6 days is only $12.50 per day.
    Not that much, considering you will be home - and with an mt waiting for you.

    Some of us would gladly pay $75 for that mt when we came off home time.
