    Anybody know of any parking in Atlanta besides the petro on 285? I live on the north side up around Roswell Alpharetta area and I can’t find anything around there. Any Atl locals out there wanna help me out? I’m pretty new to the area. Just looking for a safe place I can leave the truck for a few days while I go home. If anyone knows anything up around the north side please let me know. It would be a huge help.

    Will

    I used to work out of an Atlanta terminal. However I would not park anywhere in the Atlanta area unless it is behind a secure gate. Honestly after 5 years away I would be afraid to advise you.

    Go to Craigslist-parking section, search for "truck parking".

    Just park at the Petro, eat there while you're home ($20+/ day) and show the receipts when you leave. Probably better off and cheaper.

    There is a speed way. In that area. Call them. Looks like a few spots in the dirt on edge of driveway. Screenshot_20180718-000013.png

    Careful...your truck sitting over several days around the ATL area spells trouble for you.

    Nope nothing. There might still be a huge 76 up along 85 maybe a hour from downtown.

    I know of a couple spots around Atlanta but these are strictly either company yards or actual customers being delivered to.

    I treat Atlanta as a place that does no parking for big trucks just like Boston. You get in, deliver and GTFO. You are generally not welcome to park that beast anywhere near there.

    If you weaawwy WANT your own parking, spend 20,000 dollars buy a few acres of land, Gravel enough of it deep enough to support a truck during your rains. And park it there.
