    Bet the next time you go it is trashed and has no truck signs everywhere. You should never give away a parking spot because the are gone after the trashers get there.

    Lots of street parking where you won't get chopped up or eaten...

    Do some internet homework.
    That's fine except it's 30+ miles from delivery or pickup location if you're talking about southern LA county area or Orange county, and 45 miles at 06:00-10:00 in SoCal on a weekday translates to about 2-3 hours travel time. eLogs have made this unacceptable for many in many circumstances. Operating into and out of the SoCal area is just very problematic. Period. Managing your time and giving yourself every available advantage is absolutely critical even if it means playing with fire with questionable parking options chosen

    There are a few curb areas in southern LA county that allow legal 2 hour and 24 hour truck parking. Just have to do lots of online homework or frequent the area often to find them.

    Ain’t that the truth. I delivered Wilmington 2am Tuesday, loaded 1300 tuesday and didn’t get home to Vegas until 2100

    Why not just drive in...drop your load, head out to Ontairio TA take a 10 or do a reset. Grab a new load and head East. Plenty of freight coming back.
