Hometime drop lot locations

Drive so. and look for a fuel stop or trucking co. that may let you pay to park ?

 

I don't know about Maverick, but some common tractor-only drop locations some drivers use are self-storage facilities, tow-truck yards, and some trucking company customers. Try to Google RV storage. I would not count on parking the truck at a truck stop until you talk to the manager. Some drivers get in trouble by picking a spot just because they see other trucks parked there. Talk to the property owner or manager before doing that. You might be the "straw that broke the camel's back".

 

I park at the Love's. I'm home every weekend, so I park my pickup on the back row of their car parking area (with their permission) and then when I get home Friday/Saturday I just park my truck in a spot as far back as I can get and hop in my pickup and go. Come Monday morning I do the opposite.

In general, I've found your bigger chain truck stops don't mind you parking in their lot for a few days, so long as you aren't just dropping the trailer. Maverick isn't super picky when it comes to where you park the truck while you're home, they just don't want it getting broken into, stolen, or towed. My last student lived near a Walmart, and he called the store manager and asked if he could park in their lot while he was home (He could). If all else fails just google and see what's available in your area. I've actually picked up at steel places that had signs up that they offered truck parking in their lot for a monthly fee.

 

i'm late to the party, but just find the nearest storage yard, or drop lot. I park mine at a storage yard less than a mile from my house. Make sure you can drive a tractor trailer thru it and park. I usually just bobtail home but once in a while I have a trailer with me during hometime

 

I used to go into Ocean City Maryland which is NOT a truck friendly situation. The house we owned there had a special secret pathway into the gated community that can take the over height tractor. However, the family I would visit finds a walmart or some other major property, talk to the manager and get specific permission for me to store the tractor trailer temporarily there. Worse case scenario I can store it at Somerset or similar.

Huntsville = NASA among other things, Im pretty sure someone has a bit of trucks stashed here and there as we do here in my area. Just a little bit of asking nicely, bearing gifts of something that is a favorite of the owner/boss/manager of the property you are seeking to use at home.

Ultimately we solved that problem here in Arkansas by graveling a certain pathway to where we can if necessary store the entire 18 wheeler on our home property itself. Just be sure to have some gifts or goodies for your neighbors so when you do crank at 2 am on monday waking up the area, they all know you are gone soon for 6 months or whatever.

 

Just a shout out to all of the over the road drivers and fleet owners that may travel, or have trucks that travel through my area. I am in Ohio approximately 1 hr NW of Columbus, 1 hr North of Dayton, & about 2 hrs South of Toledo. I have a manicured and solid 5-acre gravel drop lot (used to be a trucking company lot) that I rent out to trucking companies for $100/mth per unit, truck or trailer. I have space for approximately 200 trailers. The lot is under video surveillance, but is not fenced or manned, as I live in a home adjacent to the property, and operate my antique auto restoration business at this location. The lot is located at 10505 SR 117, Belle Center OH 43310 (You can Google Hardbarger Restorations. All parking is 500 ft - 1,000 ft from the road and the entrance is 75' wide) Please call or email with any questions and to learn of discount options!

If Maverick had any dedicated customers in Huntsville, those customers might allow long term parking.
