    I have a drop in Milpitas, CA in a few days.
    Is there any overnight parking anywhere near there?
    I have a terrible time finding parking every time I go to the Bay Area.

    if you have a smart phone, download all stay truck and travel. it costs 9.99 but it gives you the locations of numerous trucks stops, walmarts, rest area, and such. even hotels with truck parking. helps out a lot...

    My GPS already does all of that. There are no truck stops in the south bay area. None.

    I am hoping someone that goes there a lot knows of a good lot or something.

    Maybe Bottomley will let me park there?
    Doubt it.

    hang on, let me check something...


    what is your delivery address?
    nevermind, I searched for Bottomley....there is a Home Depot right around the corner from Bottomley. They usually allow trucks. At least flat beds....We can generally say we are delivering to them lol

    It's about 39 miles south of milpitas on the 101 S
    Ive taken my 10 there before and it seemed to be medium sized in terms of parking.

    Park in the back of a Walmart, Target, Sam's Club or Costco, that's what I do.

    I took a 34 on Uranium Rd. in Sunnyvale. I delivered near by but there were some other trucks near by, tanks and reefer. Big culdesac for truck turn around at the end, about half of 1 side is no parking, the other side allows parking on most of the road and a small part is no parking weekdays 6-6.

    Forget about those going East, Ripon, Tracy, Westley French Camp, that is a good 2 hours away on a good day, with no traffic or construction. With traffic....I'd be real careful around Oakland area...Not sure about that Geno's in Livermore, it would be safe, but, there isn't a lot of parking anymore. Best bet would be that Gilroy or South San Fran, Gilroy would be the best and closest to Milpitus...
