Park or not to park at company terminal overnight or during hometime? What are the..

big don think they upped it to 2 washes a month, how gernerous lol. leas it was year or so ago

 

Wow. The responses on this thread make me love Mercertown even more. Brand new work out room. Hot clean showers, several tv rooms. Pool table. wifi if you need it. And Someone is always putting something on the grill. we got company autos to use just by signing out and sticking a couple bucks of gas in it. Just a few blocks from downtown for good restaurants or night clubs if that's your thing. That Mexican joint has the best #### margaritas this side of cancun. But avoid the hard rock, 17 bucks a drink there. Oh and if it's a business day your coordinator takes you out to lunch. So ya, I love going to the terminal.

 

My company only let's us park at the terminal which is fine with me.

 

Absolutely no reason why you can't continue sleeping in your truck while they are doing the inspection. If they don't like it, tough.

Edit: Unless of course, you are driving a coe. . .

 

Never park overnight in a company yard. Safety wants to whine about not wearing a safety vest when your trying to go inside and pee. Dispatch wants to meet you face to face if they haven't already per company policy which is annoying. The rent a cop is whining if your over 5 mph etc... never go to a company yard unless necessary. Too much crappie for my liking.

 

I park mine at the company drop yard over in Jersey and find my own way home and back. I could bobtail home if I wanted but the tolls to get back and forth from Brooklyn are a little steep and the parking situation is a little dicey. I don't want to have to worry about that while I'm trying to relax for a couple days and they don't slip seat their sleeper tractors.

 

I do both. Have to on hometime as no place to park at home. Will do 10 hour if in area but don't go out of my way. A lot more quiet.

 

This is why I'm glad I live in a farming community.So many places to park when home. I will avoid my terminals as much as possible. But if I'm in the area when I need a 10 hr, I'll stop by, get a hot shower and a good meal.
