    Later this week, I’ll have a furniture load going to San Diego for delivery on Monday morning. There’s a possibility that I’ll be able to park at the customer’s location, but if not, I’m looking for parking recommendations for Sunday night.

    There is a Pilot in Otay Mesa. It's best to reserve a spot.

    There's a Chevron on La Media Rd. just north of Otay Mesa Rd.
    Google Maps


    And there's plenty of parking out at the Golden Acorn casino.

    This place comes to mind. Park comfortably right of the 15 and 76 (Pala Mesa). Its truck parking. It’s about an 1 hour drive from there to San Diego area. IMG_7762.jpeg

    I wouldn’t park at those truck stops off the 905 as mentioned above. I’ve heard stories about stuff going missing among other negative talk.

    Truck Parking Club. They have locations all over. Prices vary as well as conditions, but they are usually a business renting out spaces, so they are relatively kosher.
