Just accepted the offer from TMC and was informed that the truck and flat bed trailer will be coming home with me on my days off. I have space on my driveway for a truck but not for a trailer. Where do most truckers leave their trailers during their home time?
Where do most truckers park their trailers???

Truck stop. Better check with em before dropping

Tow companies
Self-storage
RV parking are the more common places to park a truck/trailer during home time. Some shipper/receivers near you may allow you to park. The last place I would want to park anything important would be a truck stop as there are chances it gets hit or broken into.Flat Earth Trucker, Numb and GelatoJP Thank this. -
that's the first thing you should find out when looking for a job.
where can I park this big ### thing!!ducnut, tscottme and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
Last time I left my truck and trailer at a truck stop it cost me about $500k
I would definitely recommend that you discuss your dilemma with TMC. They probably won’t like it if their trailer gets stolen.GelatoJP and Big Road Skateboard Thank this. -
Coming home loaded your going to want so solid ground to drop on. It'd best best to rent a spot and stay hooked. Or near by truck stop but also stay hooked

The recruiter I spoke to at TMC told me truck stops. But after reading some of the responses on this thread, I'm not too sure that would be a good idea.
