    Time of day does have a lot to whether you'll find a parking spot or not.

    You mean northeast? Cause NC has parking all over the place.

    So exactly where are you talking? I've had good luck finding parking from NYC north. To the south it gets tricky though there were stops I always managed to find a (legitimate) parking spot.

    You don't run solo in New England.

    Get a local gig or run another region.

    Sorry guy....... Trucking up here kinda sucks.

    Whenever I stayed at a wal mart I would call the manager and get permission. Never had one say no, even when they had "no trucks" signs plastered all over.

    Casinos often have truck/rv parking as well.

    Best bet is to pay to reserve a spot at TA or wherever. You drive late into the night and not have to worry. Sure it costs some dollars but when I drove otr my company always reimbursed for it.

    South east is great until you have to park overnight around Miami. There's that "pay" truck stop but navigating it and seeing all the burned out cars in the lot made me think twice about sleeping there.

    Ended up sleeping at the receiver and woke up to a super sketchy probably meth head camped out across the street from my rig watching me like a hawk all morning until the warehouse folks showed up.
