    Just curious as to where people park their rigs while they are at home?
    I know some probably have a terminal nearby. I am curious about those that live a good ways from their terminal.

    just look around.......you'll see spots that can be had. Sometimes it's best to pay someone or at least make arrangements with someone who has the room. I'm guessing there's not a truckstop nearby? Another good spot to try is if there is a local company that has room on their yard. Most folks will let you park if they can, and it's a good way to meet local people who might offer you a job.
    Just look around.

    Company driver. I park it at the terminal. That way any PMs and repairs can be done while I am at home and off.

    Next to my garage. I put down like 60 tons of stone. Need some additional stone to fill in the rest of the way between my two asphalt driveways so I can turn right when leaving.

    Yard.

    40 minute drive home. But I couldn't care less about that. I don't have to sleep in it, ever.
