    I love running west and fueling where I want. So relaxing.

    Can’t remember the last time I had to get creative with parking.

    Some of those Cadillac SUV's are almost as big, sheesh. I'd fit, trust me. Just not in the spots marked 'economy' cars.... ;)

    Doesn't have to do with size, has to do with weight. Although since most of the deliveries are up front I dunno if I believe that anyway.

    ^^^ Exactly. Hard to think the weight restrictions would be different on the PV side; who would design 'that?' <<< Well then again, it IS Florida, LoL. ;)

    I survived the night. Was parked at the Loves in Richmond Hill, GA, just south of Savannah.

    So, I parked illegally at Loves last night, that basically makes me a Super Trucker right?

    WHERE'S BUDDY, IT'S TIME FOR A PARTICIPATION TROPHY!!!!!!!

    I was literally just gonna type this. You’re talking about the one off Pecan Park Rd. Same excuse every time. “Sir you’re not allowed to park here, the pavement isn’t designed for the weight of these trucks”.

    Loves should build bigger parking lots.....they are opening stores left and right, and they all fit 80 trucks tops.
     
    FlaSwampRat Thanks this.

    You made a very good point. I never thought about that. I deliver the TA and PFJ in Seffner sometimes and I drive my 75,000lb truck right up to the front door and nobody has ever said anything to me about how I was gonna tear the parking lot up.
     
    Gutter and ZVar Thank this.

    At Jacksonville they don’t want bobtails in the car lot.
    And they run them out.
    So the bobtails need to park in the truck lot or somewhere else.
    Loves owns the place and can do as they want.
     
    FlaSwampRat Thanks this.
