    Here ya go, hope this helps....just my opinion.

    Bowling alley with permission(and ensure next shift KNOWS it).

    Storage is an EXCELLENT place...what?...40 or 50 a month maybe?...gee do the math, we spend THAT much a month on TS coffee you could oil Mount Rushmore and have 4 Chocolate heads.

    TS, BUT remember, cameras, guards or whatever, YOU are responsible for its safety, they aren't hired baby-sitters.

    Correct me if Im wrong, doesnt a Trucking Company now-a-days ask or tell you "You can take the truck home IF you gotta place for it"? Guess shoulda been figured out before the fact. Course the word "REQUIRED" was typed, you wooda thunk it that where he dropped the trl he coulda kept it there.

    Some firehouses allow it in the back if you ask(of course if they weren't drivers theyd probably chase ya out with a hose)(if they could get off those lawn chairs). PLEASE, since 911 I for ONE have the ULTIMATE respect for Firefighters, its just drivers dont like getting wet, let alone, take a shower.

    Gas stations if you ask.........mentioned "if you ask", youd be surprised at those who dont.

    I have several truck stops close to where I live that I park at. Have an APU, so I leave that running and close my privacy curtains so that other drivers will think that I'm there and just sleeping. I am NEVER under a load while on hometime so don't worry bout theft. Also go and check on my truck everyday.

    I park at a truckstop a mile or so from my place. I drive a car back and forth to the truckstop and park the car there while I'm on the road. They're pretty good people about that and since I buy my fuel there, it's a win-win deal.

    I've got a buddy just outside of town with 10 acres doing nothing. So it's a perfect place to park the truck...and 24/7 personal guards as well!

    Our company pays for us to park in a gated and security monitored towing company yard in the town we live in.
