I do Amazon work, I get the work a week in advance. Even if they cancel I know where I'll be next so I'd still be staying at a place already on the list 😀

truckfly seems to be okay especially for lay-bys, intruck is another good one but I also use Google maps and Earth

every time you find a good spot to park, mark it on google maps so you can quickly find it again when needed 👌

Download the “intruck” app you can set it to show you all parking locations not just snap account parking, wouldn’t advise planning a whole week mate, never ends up going right

I’ve only ever stayed out for a night at a time but I never forward think where I’m going to stop, you’ve got so many things that can happen within your day that changes the outcome.
