Why would I park somewhere? When I need a break I just go home. Beauty of on-demand work schedule.
I assume this is a question from a passenger. Where you'd expect us to park. Big parking lots, but in somewhat populated areas. This usually ends up being places like Target, mall outsided of cafeteria, etc.
We don't leave the cars as much as you'd think we do. I do stop by at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts or something, but besides relieving myself, I don't really hang in there or have meals. (plus, we make very little money, remember?)
I don't mean to speak for everyone, but I do end up eating at Fast Foods a lot. It's just convenient. With how long our shifts are, it's not always practical to pack our own lunches.
As a driver who works 80+ hours a week, I am proud to say I have mastered to sleep anywhere, any of the seats, and any position possible.
The dude who said you sleep with legs into the trunk, you sir deserve a trophy.
Oh, the places I have slept. So embarrassing to admit it. I think I can be qualified as homeless in most states.
Dunks. :)
