[QUOTE="CondoCruiser, post: 2155443, member: 41921"]I'm not exactly sure, but you definately need secure parking in the Atlanta area or your trailer will disappear. The Petro on the NW side, exit 12 has secured paid parking. I would ask the manager first though before dropping. You get 2 hours free parking. So if you bobtail out, the parking lot attendant wouldn't know different and it wouldn't cost you a dime. The same coming back. Drop near the shop. It might be a little out of your way, but the Cartersville Pilot would be safe. I-75 X296. Again, ask the manager and use a kingpin lock. Other than that, look for a small local trucking company. Some will help OTR drivers out. I even used a RV storage area before when I lived up in Chicagoland. Cost me $50 a month, but I kept my car there too. You have peace of mind when it's behind a locked fence. If your company has a regular customer nearby, sometimes they will help you out. Even a motel with truck parking might let you park for $10 a night or so. Avoid places like shopping centers, because you are asking for trouble. Just use your head and you'll find a place with a little searching. If you are leaving the tractor under it, you can get away with it at the Pilot at the 16, but that would be my last choice.[/QUOTE]
