    Anybody here take their 34's in the Bronx? I'm scouting out potential locations for when I visit my family.

    I've found a few spots, but I don't know if the rigs that are sitting there are there overnight.

    Also are there any areas I need to be aware of that SHOULD be able to accomodate a truck parking but are discouraged by the local authorities?

    I dunno if I can be much help on this one. I do my best to park and sleep before I get into the City. Like for example I'll run across from Ohio to about the 274 in PA and sleep then finish it out when I get up. My advise would be to scout it with your own 2 eyes before you try and find parking blindly. Please let me know if you find something, good luck. :biggrin_25525:

    Parking in NYC is as mythical as unicorns and honest politicians.

    Parking is no big problem just back up to a telephone post or a building so they can not open your trailer doors .Close your curtain in your cab and open one vent like your sleeping in your truck. Then Pray you still have a truck tomorrow .Danny

    PS Ive slept all over that town in 40 + years trucking and I'm ok.

    I'd look for a business with a secure lot and arrange to pay a reasonable fee to park there . If they accept money they accept some liability .

    Check Hunts Point Market.They have a big lot in the back.You would have to pay entry fee but it would be secured{except for dockworkers and other drivers}

    I confess, I HAVE already found a few sites, I was hoping one of the guys I've seen parking there was on this board.

    Assuming the rigs aren't stollen. heh heh heh
