    Hi, I'm new to the forum and am wanting to move to Clarksville TN. I'm a company driver and I don't have a personal vehicle. I'm looking for a trailer drop yard and can't seem to find one. If someone could point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated. My bad if there is one posted on this, if there is I couldn't find it.

    There is a Peelot just across the line
    They used to let you drop trls for a day or two. Not weeks.

    Not too much in Clarkesville area. The best place I know of is the Pilot off xt 89 ( KY 115) in Oak Grove. not the one FT Campbell blvd. Thats xt 86. They have lots of room in the back that everyone drops trlrs. You could check the other Pilot, forget the J. Not much room there

    I would think your company might not like you dropping a trailer on the back row of a truckstop and leaving it for 3 or 4 days. There is a chance it won't be there when you go back to get it. And if it were loaded, even moreso.

    When was the last time you actually heard of someone picking a king pin lock to steal a trailer? Thanks to the others for an actual response.

    Wrecker driver won't need to pick the lock to haul off your trailer.
    And anyone with a chain, a binder and 10 minutes can haul off your trailer without picking the lock on your kingpin lock.
    Good luck finding a place to leave your trailer.

    Don't be stupid and park where you're not supposed to and it won't get towed. Parking agreements are a great thing.
