As an HGV or commercial vehicle driver, you will already have experience of a number of transport cafes, lorry parks and the like on your usual routes. But, if you want to find somewhere new, or if you are driving further afield, where would you go to find alternatives?

Well, for starters, you could try the RHA/Dunlop Guide to Secure Lorry Parking. The list lorry parks across the country with a degree of security present.

A goldmine of information can also be found on Truck Stops Transport Cafes and Lorry Parks, a site obviously run by someone with an enthusiasm for finding as many locations as possible. There's also legal advice, weather info, radio ham content and the chance to list your own lorry park if you are an owner.

Many Local Authorities list lorry parks on their web sites. These types of web sites usually end in ".gov.uk" so if you know where your headed, and the name of the county/city in control, try entering their name in your browser's address bar followed by ".go.uk" and search their sites for information.
