    I am, got about halfway across 80 last night and parked in a small out of the way place not too many people know about. I woke to find a guy stuck in front of me and he's still there. Not snowing anymore but the wind is vicious.

    Attention, Attention. News update: I got a load and started heading that way although I know better. So I get out on skating rink and it doesn't take me long to know I'm shutting this good ship lollipop down ASAP and call company and let em know there'll be no pickup today. So here I am near Riverside Iowa.

    Yeah, I've got a few spots like that too and sometimes I get the malcontents doing a copycat. Where are you headed to?

    You obviously don't get the point! Do you? Why not park in front lot with cars or Walmart or some nice little out of the way spot.

    Yeap there are three axles under that trailer and yes it is a pain to back it up sometimes. Especially when I have 65,000 to 70,000 lbs of spuds loaded into it.

    .

    I guess among other things you can't read? There are big signs that say "No Bobtails". Sure people park there but alot of times are woke up late at night when an rv pulls in and cant get a spot in the rv section that bobtails fill up.

    I see tons of people nose in all over the place.

    I always assume they arent competent enough to back in and stay away from them.
