    My company doesn't pay for parking either but it's only $10 a month so I'm not worried about it.

    Yes I love companies that have their #### together. Issue is a lot of these steering wheel holders just jump at any offer and this is what spoils some of these places that they feel they can pass their own expenses onto the drivers.

    I’m no steering wheel holder by any means, 22 years out here, 13 years with current employer. Sometimes circumstances are what they are, like living in the Nashville metro area when we’re based out of central Florida, gotta make the best of it.

    Free safe and sound parking in DFW (Ft Worth, really) eludes me. Not saying it isn't possible but I just haven't found it. I don't want my truck or my belongings to be damaged or stolen. So I pay for parking at a reputable truck stop near my home. It's $35 per every 2 days. My company, ATS, does not reimburse parking. Not happy about that but that's what I've been doing just so I can 100% not worry while I'm home with my wife and furballs.

    My company doesn’t pay for monthly parking; I didn’t mind parking at yards except for hq and that’s unfortunately where I was living near at the time. We do have customers where we can drop trailers for during hometime, a few also let you park onsite and keep a car there.

    7 days is the max you can leave your stuff in trk and keep it, if your truck is on a yard and they need one, I’ve heard of them being used for the day. I ended up moving so I would be too far from yard and could park offsite; I’ve gotten extra days off due to “unplanned” circumstances or more if I put in the local dealer. They seem to be under the impression I want to work, I just don’t want to change trucks.
