We just pull up to the house on the concrete driveway and plug into the power pedestal. Full hookups plenty of room and a 36' wide gate.
Where do you park?

We park in front of our house outside the garage/shop in rural E TX. It is important to me to be able to work on it while home.
I had one of those very realistic 3D color dreams the other day. There was a nice neighborhood where one of the streets was about 50' wide built especially for truckers to turn and park their rigs into there angled to the street garages and shops, very upscale and clean, large lots. I remember there was a long hood Pete or something, all shined up parked in a tall garage that had a full glass garage door backed in all lit up. The street had house after house with garages built for big rigs, all well kept, landscaped and no junk. IF someone would develop such a hood, I'd be all over it.
So much for dreams.......sigh

Kinda like those aero subdivisions where people can park their airplanes in hangars by there house and share a mutual air strip!

We park in our driveway at home. Had a new one poured about 2 years ago. It's a real slap in the face when cities or towns won't let you park when yo own your home and pay taxes. Anyone who faces this that hasn't already, should petition their local governments about the issue. Just too many places that do this and it is not rite. I feel for you. That has been a big hope we have been having interviewing for a driver, that they will be able to park the truck at their house when on home time. Not saying that is a factor we have just been hoping when we ask they say they can. Just have an issue with not being able to have it within sight.
We park at home on our 7 acres. Since we live in a barn, way in the country, on our own private road, no one bothers us. It took 3 years for FedEx and UPS to find us. 4 years to get a mailbox. Very secluded and quiet.

Sounds nice.
I got a $100 fine... We drop the trailer at FedEx Freight and bring the tractor home. I made nice with the county code enforcer and pointed out some rv's and other commercial vehicles in our neighborhood. Haven't been bothered since when the truck is home.

Yeah the city of Va Beach has what they call the "Neiborhood beautification act" No commercial vehicles, boats or RVs can be visable from street. first fine is &50.00 2nd is $100 3rd is $150.00. The cops don't care and won't ticket you it's the city code enforcement but they don't work weekends or nights so I can bring it home on the weekend do what I need to do and take it back to the Food Lion parking lot before 9:00 am monday morn.

I got one ticket and I fought it and won, the judges Dad was a trucker, raised his family and put the judge thru lawschool so he was sympathetic to me as a working guy...I used to park the truck on the street when the grass was wet,soft or snowy, but I invested about 150 bucks in 5 loads of gravel and have a nice secure spot on the gravel, my neighbors are pretty used to the truck being around, years of working for bands I always kept the truck here as it was a safe spot......Ive got nice bright lights and the 20 amp Cord trenched into the yard....

Right in my driveway when I do get a chance to get home. Had an officer come over to inform me they had some complaints about big trucks. I let him know I may be there once a month at the most for a few days and would continue to park in my driveway when I was home. The woman across the road works in the cities water dept. and it seems she likes to try and throw her weight around and starts things. All's well though as I park at my house and will continue to do so.

When I get my next truck, it'll be parked in the driveway. Neighbors don't care.
