$32 to park is actually crazy. Anyone know of any other truck stops in south FL?

South FL is trucker hell for so many reasons. I found a decent place called "discount truck parking" around Powerline and Copans, but it was still over $25 a day. There is a tiny truck stop off the tpk in Coconut Creek, its always packed, but there is some street parking in the vicinity. If you have a reefer there is the produce/farmers market in Pompano. There are a couple places in Opa-Locka on 441, but make sure you are empty or you will get unloaded involuntarily. But in general South FL is just disgusting and awful for truckers. The Turnpike has rest areas, but any more than 10hrs they will definitely tow you. Fort Pierce is where you can legit park, then deliver, then GTFO empty/deadhead all the way to Georgia like everyone else does seems to be the most common way.

Thanks I appreciate it, i've been down this way quite a few times but never really had to stay overnight but my clock ran out this time. Hopefully the company keeps me out of here.

I lived in S.FL for 25 years, started trucking there, but quickly realized what a awful place it is for drivers. Parking/loads/repairs, plus FL is just a fucking armpit. I moved to NC (100% because of trucking) bought a affordable house with land and I fucking love it. FL can suck on a bag of lemons, I will never go back.
