    Well, this is my normal situation. A hood length past the plastic. Just hoping some moron doesn't try and take it with them in the am. I almost stopped at the 45. Didn't know if there would be parking here or not, but there is plenty. Stull about half the lot is empty.

    That's how I am too. When I was doing food service after I quit the NYC run I did a long island turn and a Baltimore later in the week. I'd always stay up another 4-5 hours after humping a bunch of food. 5-6 hours of sleep I'm ready to go again

    I would actually go back in the wagon and separate my last few stops for the next day to make it easier. Knock em out quick

    Paul has a Cammer on the stand in his shop. Many have no clue what it is lol.

    Paul won some kind of title or something in his 66 Fairlane called Fountain of Youth…

    What's funny, is I'm kind of serious... when I started OTR in 2008 after retiring, I'd heard about the problem parking, but fuel was so high back then, too, that I never really saw it until about 2013 when the economy was somewhat better. Then I started learning how to back into some tight spots that others avoided because of the difficulty of getting into them. Took more time, in and out of the truck to make sure I was clear, but I had a place to park. :)...but on that serious note, don't be surprized if you find it easier to find parking spots any time of the night in most places but the most congested like NY. :)
