    Anyone know the closest one to Boiling Springs,NC (28017)? Just trying to get an idea of how easy or hard it might be for them to get me home.

    Yeah. Just googling it, the Eden NC yard is closer than the Cartersville GA yard by at least an hour.

    Fyi, Just cuz you're going home doesnt mean you will get deadheaded there. Could take load home with you, or deliver somewhere and then deadhead from there.

    I have the land for for a truck and trailer on my property if I take down a few trees, but only room for just the truck till that happens. Guess I'll have to find parking arrangements if I end up coming home with trailer in tow. What's everyone doing that doesn't have room at the house for truck and trailer?

    I used to park mine at Walmart 10miles from house. They didnt care. Just depends what you have close to ya. Any truckstop etc and can always drop trailer there and put glad hand lock or king pin lock and bobtail truck home.

    Gotcha, any preference on either glad hand or king pin lock or should I do both? I have a Walmart about 4 miles away, should I speak with someone there first if truck or and trailer are left there for a couple days?

    Either lock will do the job. Definitely talk to someone at Walmart unless you already know they allow truck parking with no issue. Idk bout others but if parking at walmart id probably not drop trailer there. High traffic area of people that see just a trailer and know owner isnt there. If truck parked hooked to it less of chance something happening. Now if its a truckstop or something id feel more comfortable bout dropping trailer.
