    Will deliver tomorrow night, truckstops will be full, besides reserving spot at TA.
    If You have hidden spot please PM me.

    Also, will be coming from GA,take 75 to 4 or worth it to use us/state highway to cut thru?

    Been awhile when I went to FL and usually Miami anyway...
    Thanks!

    Not much to cboose from, especially late. Auburndale Love's is about as close as you'll get.

    As far as routing, I usually go in from the I-75 Brooksville exit thru Dade City on the state routes. Depending on where you deliver, some of the grocery warehouses (other than Publix) had parking, but it's been years since I've delivered down there myself other than Saddle Creek not sure if they still do or not.

    Coupla service plazas on the pike but gotta pay tolls. I live in Otown. Very truck unfriendly.

    Depending on where in Lakeland you're going.....exit 38 for sr33 there is a good sized dirt pull off with room for 6-8 trucks south of the exit east side of 33 right before the on ramp to go east on 4. Always saw a few parked there overnight but still room for a few when I used to do trips down to saddle creek off of 659.

    If you're delivering at Publix, they'll let you park across from the freight docks if you want. I've done that many times over the years. Just back in along the fence across from the dry receiving docks.
