    Looking for tractor/trailer parking near the Chicago area. closer to the midway area would be best. With electric.

    Thanks in advance!

    Don't know about the electric thing, but there is a TA on the 94. Wisconsin/Illinois border. Exit 1 in Illinois.

    I mean..."near Midway" is pretty general. And you can pretty well cross off electric.

    There are the service plazas on 294, there are a couple TINY Pilots (Harlem and 83rd, 35th and California). I'd more recommend commercial solutions. Walmart, a mall, Target, KMart. You may have to get creative.

    Posen,Il 147th just off I-57 $175 a Month- Your a day late,You get Blocked in-No Excuses-..

    Parkings a Premium these days- You Guys did it- Its Vehicles Everywhere now- No Breathing Room.

    Nobody wants to be a Carpenter,Plumber,Electrician or Factory worker- Gotta have a truck.

    Anyway- That's the Best I can do- Everywhere else is pretty much Full- No Room.

    Its actually out of control these days.

    I guess I'm better off just staying where I'm at. Which is actually a pretty nice spot. But it's about a half an hour away from my house. I was hoping to find something a little closer. But can't have it all!

    There is a lot at California & 38th st. don't know the name of it we kept trailer there several years ago for Risinger BROS. There number is 309-266-9555, thy might know who to contact up there or even other places you can park. I don't think you will find any place with electric, just having a truck there when you get back might be the best you can hope for.
     
    Brickwall, Oldironfan and Bigrigmayo93 Thank this.
