JakeCheez Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have a truck and trailer that I will need to park overnight. Is there a website to find truck parking? Does anyone have any ideas on how to find out where to park in my area?I live in South Minneapolis and am looking to park within 15 miles of my house.

jaysm35a2 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Have you tried storage companies? Most have outside parking thats gated you can pay pretty cheap.

slpwlker Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 That would be your best bet. Look for storage yards. Look where other drivers are parking.Any truckstop or fuel stations with any parking. Smaller ones sometimes let drivers park or charge to park as no to loose any business.

You need fuel for your truck anyway. Get to know and respect the owners and there will always be someone there to keep an eye on your equipment as well.Gregg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21757-truck-parking/#findComment-91719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I park at is a secure lot and one of the guards on duty I buy lunch a few times when we are home. She is having a hard time and appreciates it. But nothing disappears off my truck or trailer when others have had stuff walk away. It makes a difference. Might make the difference of parking in the back out of sight and out of mind. or parking where they can see your stuff.
