Also . Not every ramp is treated the same. There is many ramps out west that are so far off the actuall freeway and u can count on one hand how many cars are actually gonna come by at night.... It is a big difference than being out east or in a big city with lots of traffic....

My thoughts from great advice you plan on having to stop every quarter of your planned driving that day.
I see using ramps as the very last resort.Muddydog79, D.Tibbitt and farmerjohn64 Thank this. -

Sure enough, I was dispatched on a 1,350 mile repower. To make the delivery, I needed to run at governor speed, taking exactly 10 hour breaks and exactly 30 minute breaks to make it. To do that, I needed to swap trailers and get to the other side of Nashville before shutting down for my first 10, which I did with ~15 minutes on my 14. I got lucky and took a spot that was just pulled out of as I drove up to it. Had that not worked out like that, I very likely would have been looking at ramps.
I've never done a 10 on an on ramp yet, but sooner or later it's bound to happen.
Edit: Yeah, I probably could have done some creative parking. But the point is planning doesn't always get you to a perfect parking spot.Trucker61016, D.Tibbitt and farmerjohn64 Thank this.
