Truck parking questions

{"text":"Would a monthly truck parking lot (secured, lighted, gravel, etc) be something an owner operator would use? Considering building one but have no idea how to gauge the interest or market. \nSame question for nightly parking - if the truck stops at a major exit are filling up, would an owner-operator consider it useful to have a nightly lot nearby or would they just keep moving or wait?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"Yes. Sometimes company drivers have a need for that also if the price is right. (less than $100 per month?)\n\nBut also, A lot of drivers really could use a ‘valid-mailbox-address’ for licensure and snail mail with that place to park. The ‘re-mailing services are usually located in business districts or zones and not allowable for/as use on a CDL license. For peeps that are OTR 24/7/365 this helps eliminate expensive rent for a place you dont even see or use.\n\nIf you charged just $100 or $200 and ensured that the US mail would be secured, I’m sure you would have a ‘HUGE’ business."}

","text":"You can’t rent a insured parking area for a $100 . The cost for electricity and gate codes cost plus video surveillance to insure nobody breaks into truck and nobody backs into some and run off. ","replyToPid":440817}

","text":"Good question. A little above my pay grade I'm afraid tho. Personally I guess I would look for large manufacturers and/or assembly plants that do a lot of shipping and receiving but don't have their own fleet.  Or produce hubs, oil patches, etc. Maybe a market research firm? But the right spot would be critical to success. Perhaps someone else has some thoughts.","replyToPid":440872}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I believe they would. Especially if they have their own trailer. I've seen them in RV storage places. I know of a truck shop that supplements it's business this way, as well and it's all fulled up. Location would be critical. You need to be accessible and in an area with a lot of truckers.","replyToPid":0}
