    There's an industrial park right off of alum creek Dr right by the loop. People drop trucks and trailers there all the time. It's not hard to find a spot. I've left my truck there a few times. Not much goes on during the weekend.

    I live in Columbus and thankfully drive a daycab these days so I'm not much help, but I will say that I'd be nervous parking up there off Morse Rd. It can be a dicey area--tons of crackheads in that strip. I've noticed some container-hauler bobtail O/Os parking up there, but many I think live nearby.

    I used to park at the Home Depot and Meijer further east off Morse in Gahanna when I was OTR. I never had problems, but I kept it to the weekends and left a little Post-It note on the driver's side window with my phone number to call before towing. My rule was to park in the back near the docks, out of sight, and out of the way. Good luck, man.

    There appears to be a pay lot on the corner of Westerville rd and innis. It appears to be $160 per month according to the comments on google.

    Sorry if I come off high strung as a byatch but $160 a month is time I'd rather spend just bobtailing back to terminal for an empty.lol
