    LEO was knocking on doors to the overflowing On Ramp. While I was there, he seemed to just be giving courtesy knocks but wasnt there after my pre trip to see what else transpired. Seems to be a No No for now on the overflow and in the Cars Only area which has been ignored for a spell.

    Off ramp is quite unsafe. And illegal in many states. On ramp is much better idea since vehicles that could hit you are moving much slower

    Washington DOT were messin with trucks outside Seattle 2 weeks ago where the TA is. Ragnar maybe. Blows my mind the #'s of folks who will line up on an off ramp, especially ramps with a truckstop close.

    I understand out west isn't like the east, but i usually still find a quiet on ramp. If not, i'm parking at receivers/shippers.

    Most of my parking is on on ramps, but in the middle of nowhere.

    Thanks!
    I miss spoke/typed.

    The trucks TO the Rest Area--off ramp?--are the trucks visited by LEO.

    Thnaks for making my error clear!

    North Bend is usually full. And instead of getting off at the 38 and going down and parking along the river where it’s quiet they line all the ramps and the TA exit. Parking on the ramp at the 47 would still be better than North Bend.

    You can always speed up you can't always slow down.

    Remember my dad saying that all the time.

    I'm afraid to go into the wv rest areas at night. A lot of them are like the ones in Pennsylvania. If people aren't parked just right, you'll get stuck.
