    Anyone know of any places to park a truck for 5-6 days near the Mount Vernon, WA area? We were using the Truck City at exit 225 (or 226. I forget) but they are closing that down on the 31st.

    Hope I posted this in the correct area. :)

    Why are they closing? There's not much in that area to begin with. I bet a chain is taking over.

    S'up Jo!
    Apparently the county bought it out for a pretty penny and planning to put a jail there (lovely).
    The old Gordon yard is across the interstate from it. I see trucks there from time to time but not sure who owns it now and how to contact 'em. :-/

    Boy, there isnt much up there, Wonder if the Gordon/ Valley freightliner would let you park there if you got an oil change or something?

    Yeah, it's looking like Donna is going to be our best bet but it's $10 a night and a further jaunt from the homestead. I was sure hoping we'd catch something closer to the hwy 20 connection. But ya gotta do what you gotta do. Le sigh!
    I was wondering about the old Gordon drop yard. Anyone know who the contact is for that yard?

    Gee there really isn't much parking around there. I park at the house normally or get a pm done on my truck and just leave it at Freightliner for a week or so.

    I will have to look into Freightliner. Calling 'em today. How much is a PM or Oil Change? Are you owner/operator or company driver?
