    First time I went there, I parked in the spots on the side of the fuel isle, where there's nothing in front of the spots but empty curb.

    That was a mistake. That curb doesn't stay empty for long. Gets two-deep sometimes, and you can't get out.

    If I know I'm gonna take a 10 there, I just reserve a spot straight across from the fuel isle so I know I'll have plenty of room to leave when the time comes.

    But mostly I just try to avoid going there if I can.

    That Pilot really illustrates a Yogi Berra quote - "That place is so crowded, nobody goes there anymore."

    I prefer to take my 10s in places where the restrooms are accessible 24/7.

    Just registered with the clearinghouse as “requested”. All to tell me (and whoever else wants to look) that I haven’t failed any drug tests. {shrug}

    Got my onions off with no issues in Clarksville at 3am. Got my reload yesterday about 5pm. Head over to Forrest City and drop the reefer at Boars Head then bobtail to Byhalia and hook a Reno for Tuesday morning, which works out perfectly. I’ll need my recap hours midnight Monday night to finish the last 4 hours of the trip. Right now I’m getting this trailer washed out in Russellville, then Denny’s for an All American Slam.
