Yellow book online and look up storage facilities in that area. Preferable with 24hour access. Be sure to compare prices. Nice a secure.

There are tons of trucking companies, of all sizes in the DFW area. You can check with them and see if they would allow you to use their lot when you are home.

They don't consider a truck stop secure? What do you do when you're taking a shower? I'm speaking tongue in cheek here. I wouldn't consider the truck stops on I 20 "secure parking" but I don't see how a trucking company would have a problem with you parking there.

I'd leave my truck there if I were going home. I'd CHECK on it every day, but I'd leave it there.

Since I own my truck, I can leave it at several truck shops that are around my house- but we are customers. As a company driver, you're probably not a customer. Unless there is a dealership your company uses.

Default Dallas Parking

Does your company have shippers/receivers they routinely pickup from/deliver to in the Dallas area? Maybe those companies would allow you to park the company rig on their property. BOL
