    I believe after 48 hrs you get layover pay. Never heard of waiting that long but I'm sure somewhere along the line it has happened. Longest I am personally aware of was 40 hours a few years ago in Georgia

    Anyone got a recommendation for a place to park for the night around Niagra Falls? I've got a delivery there this afternoon and am having trouble finding anyplace with overnight parking.

    I don't think there's anything nearby there. You've got the TA and J at the Pembroke exit, a couple of mom and pop truck stops in Buffalo, and the Thruway service plazas.

    It sounds like the service plazas are the best bet. I ran into another Millis driver I'd met before and he said the truck stops at Pembroke were places to avoid due to crime etc..., and it looks like I could get that same environment right where I am now...

    I can't speak on crime for the Flying J in Pembroke. It is the usual dumpy atmosphere as all the rest. The T/A is fine crimewise and otherwise. I have stayed there many times.

    There’s a perfect “NY Welcome Center” that I parked at last Thursday in Niagara Falls. I’m pretty sure it’s on 190. You exit off the highway and it’s a pretty good place to park. I want to say they have 15-20 spots. 2170 Whitehaven Road, Grand Island, NY
     
    Still undecided and JOHNQPUBLIC Thank this.

    Forgot all about that spot. It is newer. Maybe in the last year or so. That would be the target place for me if I needed to stay in that area.
