    Looking for some advice on where to park my bus in Reno when it's not in service. I only have 1 bus so I don't have a yard to park it at. It's a 40-footer and I apparently can't park it at my residence.

    Would they let me park it at the local park?

    I do a line run, not charters.

    Maybe try one of the truckstops the TA is quite large or maybe a casino with truck parking. That would be large enough to park at. Course not sure if they'll make u pay something for extended parking

    The Petro is much better than that crap TA.

    The TA is small and cramped, not to mention it is a bad part of town.
    The Petro is much larger with ample room in all directions. The bus could probably be parked in the back for a few days with no one even noticing. Or one could probably speak to the manager to set up a decent parking deal at minimal cost.

    Problem with both Petro and TA is that I live on the west side of town opposite from where they are, and it would be difficult for me to commute.

    Doesn’t Amador Stage Lines have a yard in Reno or Sparks? Maybe you can rent a spot there. All the casino run stagelines must have someplace to park.

    I thought the Cabelas was next to the casino.
    I was thinking more of the truck parking at the casino.

    Although, it has been a few years since I've been around there.

    There are usually some trucks parked at the back of the car lot. I tried to get in there one night and there were just too many cars there.
