    Not sure how much you want to spend but all of these have truck parking listed on my CLC app. I always call first to double check about tractor and trailer parking availability. The Quality seems to be the closest but I would probably drive to a better one. 670888F3-DA56-4DCE-849D-FA1D52728656.png CBAC8BBE-9422-4541-A64C-6372519C3BF5.png 3DC7E482-1163-4B8F-AD6F-6195E55A4A93.png 3DC7E482-1163-4B8F-AD6F-6195E55A4A93.png

    Thanks, I google earthed a few of them.
    I might be able to wing it if there were no cars in the lot. That's the wild card.

    If you can find the one that has Carhaulers stay on a regular basis you should be good. I haven’t stayed in Orlando in a few years so I am not certain which one to recommend.

    What is the CLC app? I usually spend 1 or 2 nights a week in a hotel, and sometimes finding one with enough parking to fit trucks can be challenging.

    I have been doing it long enough that I know where I can stay in most of the areas I run, but occasionally I end up in an area I am not too familiar with.

    I was coming from Ashville NC the other week and wanted to stop at a hotel in Bristol VA that I have stayed at a few times before, but it ended up being closed for renovations and I couldn't really find anything that looked good until Roanoke. Made it there with less than 30 minutes left on the clock to only find no tractor trailer signs at the entrance to the hotel.

    I usually call 1st just to make sure they are ok with trucks but I didn't this time. I parked anyway and headed in to check in and asked about the signs and the receptionist said that the signs were just to keep trucks from parking there and staying in their sleepers and not actually getting a room at the hotel.

    I was relieved I didn't have to try to find another hotel.

    Some will actually let you park a truck for a 10 hour break if you pay a fee, usually 20-30 dollars without having to get a room. I used to wonder why there are huge signs that say TRUCK PARKING near motels when it was obvious they had a big lot. Then one day I was running out of hours east of
    Nashville and I saw one of those signs... and a little lightbulb went off inside my head....and I went inside paid the fee and enjoyed a relaxing snooze for a fraction of the price of a room.

    You should try parking a 90 foot carhauler. That is why once we find a hotel with good truck parking we try to stay there. CLC is a discounted hotel plan. Most daycab trucking companies issue the card to their drivers. The carrier I am leased to issued mine and I get the discount they receive by having nearly 1,000 drivers. My carrier pays the hotel stay and then deducts it from my settlement, similar to fuel purchases. An individual can get a card but won’t generally receive as big a discount on rooms.
