    Hey guys i have looked around and have had no luck in finding a place to park a flatbed anywhere in Milwaukee, WI. Is there any little known place anyone knows about for parking here, i have been looking over google maps of places with large parking and calling the businesses that own them but no luck so far. I'm trying to find somewhere that is not a public truck stop because Milwaukee is notorious for smashing ##***ng windows of cars and trucks and stealing whatever is inside. Any help would really be appreciated.

    Try to find a repair shop or dealership that rents out spots. Northwest utility in waukesha, trudell trailers in oak creek, truck country in oak creek, those are a few places i can think of off the top of my head.

    A big gated self storage facility with cameras. They will usually have areas where people keep ther motor homes and travel trailers.

    Try Truck Country or the Kenworth dealership in Oak Creek.

    There's a few places you can try. No guarantees but I've seen plenty of different company trucks parked in these places.

    First on is on Silver Spring Rd just a little west of Interstate 41. I looked there back when I needed a place to park but never actually talked to them.

    13180 W Silver Spring Rd
    Menomonee Falls, WI 53051

    Next place is on the Southeast side near the intersection of 6th and Oklahoma. Not gated but there's about 20 different guys who park their trucks there. Not sure who you would need to contact for info but here's the address.

    445 W Oklahoma Ave
    Milwaukee, WI 53207

    For trailer dealers I know that Spellman Trailers and Trudell trailers both have some space though I'm not sure how much they will rent out. They are both down near the truckstops in Oak Creek on HWY100

    Spellman:
    5921 W Ryan Rd
    Franklin, WI 53132

    Trudell:
    2435 Southbranch Blvd
    Oak Creek, WI 53154

    Could also go and talk to the office up at Ryder truck rental on HWY 100 in West Allis next to Northern Tool. They have a lot of space out back that's almost always empty.
