Check local truck rules and construction updates before you head in, then look for a legal spot before your hours run thin after dark.

• Winter (December to February): Watertown gets cold, snowy winters, and temperatures often drop below freezing. If you are hunting big rig parking after dark, expect icy ramps, slick shoulders, and short visibility. Bring winter tires, chains, and an emergency kit with blankets and flashlights. Stop as needed to clear snow from headlights, taillights, and the windshield.
• Spring (March to May): Milder weather can turn fast. Showers and thunderstorms leave roads slick, so check wipers, brakes, and defrosters before you roll. If you use reserved truck parking, give yourself extra time for wet pavement and sudden downpours.
• Summer (June to August): Summers are warm and humid, often in the 80s°F. Stay hydrated and make sure your air conditioning works so you do not run hot on a long shift or a deadhead move.
• Fall (September to November): Cooler air and falling leaves make for a good driving stretch, but wet leaves can cut traction and early frosts can make morning roads slippery. Slow down on shaded turns and watch for changes at first light.
