    Personal vehicle? No.... they will tow it within 48hrs.
    Best bet is to reach out to a local wrecker yard who will let you park both your truck and personal vehicle there for a flat rate.
    If you're true OTR and only home on occasion, just reach out to a local rental car company and have them bring the car to you, and drop you back off at the truck.

    Not likely they will allow you to park a car there that long. I would Uber, Lyft,or taxi to the truck so your car is at home.

    Tow companies and self-storage facilities where you key in a code to get through their gate is where I would look. Frankly, I would always prefer to work for a company where they have a terminal near my home so I don't have these types of issues and they can maintain the truck while I'm at home.

    Op, just for ####s and kicks I looked up RV storage around meridian Ms and found several. I'm sure if you call around to them they will negotiate a storage fee per month for you to park your truck on home time and securely park your car while gone.

    Park it at the fuel island in the lane nearest the fuel desk, no one will ever notice it.

    Unless I come through, then there's liable to be a sizable hand print on the side of the bunk

    They've been parking cars in truck spots at the Pilot in Austintown, OH, I haven't done anything, but I feel the cars are fair game and there for my enjoyment to vandalize
