    You're gonna give @Frank Speak a run for the, ahem, "longevity award."

    Long live Frank, but I'll probably need to live that long before US 93 is repaved or Interstate 11 is completed.

    I wonder if I could convince Frank to fang 'em. Hmmmmm

    I just took a closer look on Google Maps street view (closest intersection to receiver is Coleman Street and W Brooks Ave) and it looks like I might be able to park on the street. However, I see absolutely no one parked in the pictures, either street view or satellite view. No parking signs on one side of the street, but not the other.

    Depending on the time of day, and the day of the week, that place is a bit iffy.
    Best to reserve a spot to be sure.

    Do you have to be a couple of blocks from delivery? Less than a mile from there you can go to Donovan Way, behind the Velocity Truck Center. The Nevada Commercial Division is there. There is street parking up and down Donovan, and virtually no traffic. It's tucked away pretty good. Just Google "4110 Donovan Way" and check it out.
     
    FerrissWheel and tarmadilo Thank this.

    Depends. Is the crew from Kentucky?

    Likely not. Really wish they pick up the pace.

    Then Frank may not be interested. Kentuckians are his specialty.
     
    JoeyJunk and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.

    Lemme save you a headache, two questions are you doing a 34hr? Delivery Monday am?

    sidenote, Morton wants 50 gallons purchased in order to park there, Put your receipt in the window if not, they’ll kick you out of the parking lot
     
    FerrissWheel Thanks this.

    Well, I got here relatively early and parked 50 yards from the customer.
