    Ain’t that the truth. When I’m not trucking, I’m in my John Deere mowing or a doing something. Some people would look down on it but sometimes I’ll bring a nice big vodka drink in my cozy cab while mowing at night time haha. I have flat land and nobody else is at risk. Just FYI for the Donny dorighters out there

    I second that . I like to hang out with the grand kids during the day on the weekends and have a cigar and adult beverage on Saturday night
    Hanging out in my shop listening to some country music and tinkering with the truck or one of my projects. Can’t stay in there too late the little woman sometimes gets jealous of my shop!lol.

    Lol. Actually I have space, but where my driveway & street meets, it forms a v shape that prevents me from parking on my own property. I’m currently looking at curb ramps. Handi-Ramp® Steel Auto Curb Ramps - HandiRamp

    Ha Nothing beats walking out and starting the truck and walking back in and having another cup of coffee with the wife while it warms up. Or better yet in my case the wife walks out and starts it for me.

    There are a couple trucking companies in my local area. I just called them to ask if they rent out parking space in their lot. If they didn't I would ask if they knew of anywhere. I was able to find a place that charges $100 a month and also give you access to a bay in the shop onsite for working on the truck. I though it was a good deal due to me being home a lot. I am home for my 10 occasionally throughout the week and also do a 34 of the weekend so it made sense to me. The best part is being able to drive my pickup back and forth rather then trying to park my rig at home.

    most of the motel 6 and 8 will rent parking out by the month usually not bad but depends on location my brother in law spends 35 a month. ... some storage places have the room , a lot of local buisness have extra room and will let you park there cheap or free
