    The best place to park the truck is in a garage built to park the truck in lol. honestly there is no perfect place to park it but the closer you are to home the better obviously if your driveway is big enough or you live outside the city maybe park it in front of your house although i would like to say make sure you check all the power line heights and bridges i had a friend tear down his phone line with his freightliners stand up sleeper. And if youve ever seen a rig catch the high voltage lines you would be amazed at what happens the tires either blow out or catch fire ..... pretty entertaining providing no one gets hurt or fired.

  3. where ever you park it, put your locks on it if they aren't already. Don't forget to put the lock on your steering column.

    How was the School training. I will be starting with Roehl in a few weeks. Do you know if you have to bring the trailer with you home? I can park the truck at my house. Just know room for the trailer.

    I have seen trucks parked at our fairground parking lot. I called today to see what is required and they told me after a get a truck assigned to come in and fill out a form. There are only two weeks out of the year, during the fair, that you can’t park there. There is no charge presently but it might change next year. Don’t know what is considered secured, its next to the police station.
