Semi truck parking west of Chicago for a Maverick flatbedder...

If it's somewhat "secured" and readily accessible on your time, and you can feel good about leaving your vehicle there while your out, and you feel comfortable with the location and people, that's probably as good as you're going to find money-wise, especially if you're talking most weekends and maybe in between a few times as well.

 

for how many days a month?

 

Might be best to go with what you have, at least for the time being. I can't really think of anyplace in Downers like what you're looking for, and the closest truck stop (sort of) I can think of would be the Amerifreight right off of 294 by North Ave (or maybe Balmoral, I can't remember for sure). There are always spots available to park there but it's pay to park, $20 a night.

 

You should see if maverick has a customer that would allow you to park there.Otherwise find a truckstop outside of Chicago that would let you park there while on home time.You would have around a 10 mile drive but that's better then using your hard earned money paying by the month for trk storage.

 

Where is west? Aurora, Rochelle?
$150 a month is about right for secured parking, and is cheaper than Amerifreight, off of North, not Balmoral.

 

check craigslist, under parking and storage

 

sometimes the big U-Haul centers have enough room. The one near me will let a driver park his truck for a price. (just my $0.02)
