    I am about to move to Florida soon and being new am not familiar with the area in terms of a spot to park for my home time. Does anybody have any spots they can think of in North Port?

    I could also do Tampa / St Pete, about an hour north of North Port.....but North Port be best, that is the exact town I am moving to.

    I would prefer a spot I can leave my car at while I am out of town too, not sure how uncommon that is - I am rather new to trucking still.

    Which is always jammed these days since the new 30-minute break regulation went in effect. Went by it three times in the past week and all three times parking was a challenge.

    Ft Myers didn't look like the best place to leave a truck siting either. I guess that's what insurance is for.
