    I go there for my apu service work etc., they give me a gate code and park over by the bays. If I lived near there I’d rent a space. Good people working in the shop.

    called them up and asked how much. $200-$240/month, but they're completely full at all locations.

    Wow.

    180 spots X $200 a month = $36,000.

    Sound like a business worth getting into.

    To OP's original question I think cold calling and just asking is the way to go.

    At my first company we could take a 10 at the Navaho yard in Denver and we always seemed to have a couple of Raider Express trucks spending the night at our yard too.

    I don't live in your area, but I park my truck at a small trucking company, the rent is monthly. I would contact a small company out there and ask.

    East Texas is a vast area. Some more specific area might help other to send you in the right direction.
    Having a secure parking spot a hundred miles away is not very convenient.
