I'm a long-haul trucker and I've been having a lot of trouble finding safe and affordable places to park my truck overnight. It seems like every place I find either gets filled up really quickly, is in a sketchy area, or charges exorbitant fees.
I'm hoping to get some advice from other truckers or anyone with experience in this area. Specifically, I'm looking for tips on:
Finding reliable parking spots: Are there any apps or websites that you recommend for locating good truck parking?
Safety concerns: What do you do to ensure your safety and the security of your truck and cargo while parked?
Cost-saving tips: How do you manage parking fees? Are there any tricks to finding cheaper or even free parking?
Any other tips or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! Safe travels out there.
