    I know a few guys that agree on this. The only real problem is some areas don't seem to have parking lots large enough at the more affordable places.

    I sleep at the customer 95% of the time. When I don't it is because they either don't have room, won't let you, or it's in too bad of an area. This saves you quite a bit of time in morning rush hour around big city's especially, not to mention your the first one unloaded in the morning if they don't require appointments but my appointments are usually for the time they open.

    Rest areas are good as well when you are self contained in your truck.

    I use truck stops as a last resort and for fuel/showers only. Never had my truck run over in the middle of the night when parked at a customers lot. :biggrin_25525:
