About Leaving Your Car at a Terminal - safe or not?

I park my car at the company terminal as well...been kinda living OTR for a while and using my brother's address with my stuff in storage. No problems in the past 4 months.

Another advantage to not taking the truck home is having the shop take care of servicing needs while you're on hometime = less interruption while you're out running.

 

A lot of newer cars have quite a bit of parasitic drain on the battery. A battery cut-off switch is easy to install . The main downside is losing all your presets...radio, seat position memory, climate control, stuff like that.

 

This is a handy small cordless compressor to keep in the trunk.

 

i have a security system in my older car that would drain the battery in the month I was out.
The NOCO works great for getting it started, but the battery would soon fail altogether. Too many times being fully discharged is hard on a battery.
I started disconnecting the battery between home times and have not had to jump it in nearly a year.

 

That was actually my thought... to disconnect the battery on home time. Any downsides to doing this?

 

Keeping a compressor in your car seems unnecessary when the shop and your truck both have air.

 

You are best for at least your first six months at any mega to leave your vehicle at the terminal in case of termination or you decide trucking just isn’t for you.

 

best to rent a car, drive to the terminal..Enterprise can pick up the car from the terminal

you most likely will be taking the truck home.

another thing to, you will always be parking your car at your own risk.

so have plenty of insurance, cuz if you car catches fire, and it damages other cars?

you are on the hook.

 

Which you should have anyway, becaue you can't count on truck stops to always have their air hoses in good working order.
