    Hello all,
    I am thinking of going with TMC. I live in Coumbus, Oh and they do not have a terminal here. Is it true that you can park in Lowe's , Home Depot, Menards?? Any other Companies that have Columbus Terminals?

    THANKS!!

    You can park anywhere, just need to have written permission from the person that owns the lot or the manager of the store.

    If you have the room, they would actually prefer you take the truck home with you.

    I apologize for what I think is going to be a dumb question.

    But, when people talk about taking the truck home... do they mean the trailer too?

    I would if possible, leaving your trailer somewhere with a load in it and it get's stolen won't look good for you.....

    Truck and trailer must be parked as a unit, you must have approval from safety before dropping a trailer in a parking lot, it's frowned upon.
