They list geocaches that are easily accessible to those traveling in 18 wheelers of RVs.
If you can think of any caches that you personally know that would qualify, please drop me a post here and I'll submit them to GeoTruckers periodically.
Please include the GC Waypoint, and if it is Trucker or RV friendly or both.
(Their map system is update with newly submitted caches about once a month, as the process must be done manually due to GC restrictions.)
Thanks!
GeoTruckers.com wrote: What is a Truck friendly Cache? Simply put, a trucker friendly cache is a cache located within walking distance of a 70 foot parking place. Unfortunately, this is quite restrictive. Trucks are not usually welcome at mall parking lots or many other public places where you'd normally expect to park your car. We need lot's of room to park our trucks (or RV's), that's a safe location and a reasonable distance on foot. Following are a few simple requirements for a trucker friendly cache.
1. Ample parking for an 18 wheeler. (Rest area's Truck stops, "safe" pull out's etc.) Freeway exit ramp's are not only not safe, but illegal in many areas
2. A reasonable walking distance from the parking area.
3. The walking path must be safe. A busy street or narrow road without a sidewalk or walking trail is probably not a good idea.
Something to keep in mind. Just because you see a truck parked some place does not necessarily been that "any" truck can park there. It may be a trucking company, a warehouse or some other business that only allows trucks to park there on business. If in doubt, ask the owners.
Also, dropping your trailer is not a good idea. Although some drivers do this, it can get you fired from most companies if your caught, and you risk the trailer and load getting stolen.
With a little effort and common since Geocaching can be available and safe to truckers and RV'ers
Happy GeoTruckCaching.
