    I am wondering how do you all Plan where your going to stop when your hours are up? What if you get to your planed stop and no parking is open what do you do? Or how do you know if there is parking open? Thank you all for your time.

    Don't let it get to the point to start thinking about taking a brk when your hrs are almost over.You start planning an hr before.Companies are NOT going to give me a load and exspect me to get unloaded and no hrs to find a safe haven to take my 10 hr brk.You call the customer an ask them if they have overnight trk parking.If they do then get to the customer otherwise tell your dispatcher this load will have to wait till tomorrow because you'll be out of hrs to find a place to park.Once you've been driving long enough,you'll know if there is parking or not no matter what what part of the country you're at.
