How flexible are the folks at truck stops if someone wanted to do this? Thanks!
Jim You live in the Dalles? What about the old ernst store next to safeway there. Last I saw it was empty. but that was a few months ago... Or over at Dallesport, theres nothing there either.

We figured after a broken into trailer, and 3 flat tires when he was leaving from hometime it was time for the truck to be somewhere else.

I guess my hubby and I better be thanking our lucky stars. We live in a great neighborhood. He parks the semi at home and I bring my big yellow bus home everyday. The neighbors don't care at all. The kids in the neighborhood love it. It is so cute my hubby and I have both taught the kids how to do a proper pretrip and posttrip of the truck and bus.

i always had good luck with my customers like sears, lowes, grocery stores, and some banks providing they had enuff room. also, call your local police dept and ask if they have any suggestions, they have helped me on several occasions when i was gonnabe stuck w/o a place to park for a few days.(The police are also a good way to get directions to a customer). hope this helps
