    When I get to the truck stop with my paid parking I go to the counter to get my parking receipt and tell the employee there is a truck in my spot and say I need Flying J to make him move. They usually get a maintenance man or one particular employee ask that driver to move "or Flying J will not allow any trucks from same company use paid parking." If they won't make the freeloader move they will give you the parking fee refund. ALWAYS call AND email the company with the name of the employee that wouldn't help and the location that does not honor paid parking.

    I did 10,000 miles in 3 days. We knew how to truck in the old days.

    ONE 9 Truck stop I-30 Exit 97 Eastbound Follow service road and take overpass, stop in on the Nort side of freeway. It has been open 6-8 months, I think it has a Sonic and was suppose to have some other restaurant.

    If you're delivering in Dallas, there's numerous hideouts. Texas is by far the most truck friendly state. You can take your pick for truck stops on 30.
