Bob, time to move on, unless they are paying you handsomely for your wasted time. Just saying. Find another carrier.
Is this normal? Living in truck, no parking, no truck stops.

If you can manage it, organize your day to end before 3PM and finding parking should be quite doable most days.
Ask Schneider if they have spots in any drop yards in the LA area that you can use.
If you have a very regular schedule, it might even be worth it to pay for monthly parking in a yard somewhere.bobthurman Thanks this. -

Have any of you guys been to LA? Or am I missing something?

I'm from LA. Planet Fitness $20 a month 24/7 access to showers AND you can lift weights. . And best part is the membership is nationwide.
I used to park by the Walmart DC out there around Colton? There are so many big streets with legal parking all over the county. Use Google maps satellite view and look for parked rigs. Pretty much any produce area is full of them. Alameda in LA by the blue beacon trucks everywhere. Uber to planet fitness. Shower. There's one a mile away from blue beacon on Washington.
I liked the now closed flying j in lebec, CA. I heard the parking lot is still open. No shower of course. I always worked parking into my clock pre-plan. Good luck.bobthurman and TravR1 Thank this. -

Most of the cities in the LA area do not allow overnight street parking in general and no parking at all for trucks. Maybe I just need to look harder, but man...
I can see LA as a recurring drop destination being doable, but living in a truck here is a different story. -
usually there are also street parking spots for overnight near the shippers but of course nothing else beside to sleep
bobthurman Thanks this. -
It seems the best solution to this is to actually live in LA...which IMHO is a solution Schneider should have baked into the equation. Living here, parking a bobtail on a street somewhere and commuting home in a POV sounds like a fair job, long hours still of course dealing with LA traffic and parking, but a fair job. -
bobthurman Thanks this.
