I'm about to get hired on with a company and they want to know where I'll park the truck on days home. I live in a neighborhood and the HOA wont be ok with this. Can I park it for a couple days at a truck stop or any other ideas, what do yall do? I live in San Antonio's TX so if yall know a spot and your from here let me know.
Also one other thing it's been 10 years since my discharge from the military. I was released with a other then honorable discharge this was for illegal use of a substance. Yes I was dumb and young but I did it and iv been working ever since unfortunately just got laid off from my last company after 6 years employed with this, oilfield has taken a terrible dive and unfortunately I'm no longer with them. So question is do I need to provide a dd214 or even let them know I was militarily since it's been so long?

I've heard some park at storage lots. Like where they keep RVs plus they have those storage units. You'd have to pay $xx.xx a month, though.

Brandon Marr Thanks this. -
you can try storage companies as well, maybe street parking near them?
personally, the first time i was applying for a job and was told i need to find parking? i said fogedaboudit.
some companies like Schneider told me to find a secured place to park. i did, but that place wanted $50 per month, and that was on me, Schneider would NOT reimburse me, and they wanted secured parking...needless to say, i told them what they can do with thier equipment.
every single job i have ever had, after that fiasco, i parked on COMPANY property, otherwise, i'd not take the job.
can't help you on the military thing, but i have to wonder when they run your SS number, they will find out..??
others will chime in on that.tscottme, x1Heavy and Brandon Marr Thank this. -
I never put military service on any job application.
I leave it blank.piston865 and Brandon Marr Thank this. -
Don’t worry about the DD214, if there’s a question about military service it’s usually just the dates they’re looking for. Should be lots of places to park in SA ask your company to help find you a safe place to park.

Other then being told I have to leave it at the yard if I request time off near one; my actual residence is a farm with space for lots of semis... but is too close to a yard.
They also let me take it anywhere I’ve got family and haven’t told me any parking requirements. I wouldn’t mind finding somewhere more secure than just a truck stop tho. -
Park at a truck stop. Its not unusual for trucks to stay in the same spot for a week,
-
If you park at a truck stop, make sure its ok with the truck stop manager.
Sure don't want to return and find your truck has been towed and now owe thousands in storage & towing fees.
It's not like the old days when truck stops were truck and truck driver friendly.Lumper Humper, buddyd157, tscottme and 2 others Thank this. -
With all that protected Veteran bs they use now I just say no , only person it benefits is the company , some get tax breaks for hiring a Vet something nobody ever shared with me.
Deadwood and Brandon Marr Thank this.
