We banded together as a group before walking to and from the lot.
Never at night and parking is real particular, ramming your trailer into the corner three stacked containers is best. Then stand to in the drivers seat until morning.FlaSwampRat, just_sayin and lilillill Thank this. -
Never heard of any thing like it outside of a movie.

If You Guys could Give Me Exact Locations of where these places are/were, I could Google Earth Them & say Yay or Nay. I know I said 5 Acres, but it might have been less. "Give Me 40 Acres & I'll Turn This Rig Around" is sometimes true. LOL - THIS "Truck Stop" was literally in a Neighborhood. It existed just because it was there. There was enough room to Drive In, Pull Up to The Left & Back In to a Spot beside The Truck that was already there. You Might could have gotten 20 Trucks with Trailers inside the fence on the entire property.

If I could find My Old Road Atlas, I could locate The Old Truck Stop that I'm talking about & maybe even The Produce Market as well.

I don’t think there has ever been an actual truck stop in Manhattan, although there are some vacant lots along the west side on 9A up in the 30’s near Javits Center that have a bunch of trailers parked in them that could be used for overnight truck parking. I used to see a few trucks that would shut down for the night along west side hwy I am assuming were waiting to get into Javits Center in the morning since I am pretty sure they don’t allow overnight parking on their property. Always thought that took some serious balls to try that. Smart idea though rolling in there late at night.
