    Headed to Charlotte, NC. From Hagerstown.
    Been some time since I’ve made a run there so just want a little insight. According to my preplan, looks pretty straightforward. I81 to I77 to Charlotte. Leaving out at 6:00 am. My delivery is on Michael Wylie Drive. Looks like I77 by Charlotte has a toll lane. Not taking that. Other than that, doesn’t look like anything difficult. Time wise seems to be about 7 hours. Anything else I should watch for?

    You're probably realizing about now that there is no truck parking in Charlotte.

    yeah, it's bad for parking.

    there's a big rest area south on 77 at the SC line and an old weigh station at the 84? mile stick on the south bound side.

    Way too late now probably but all of the exit/entrance ramps north of Charlotte on 40 (north of Statesville actually) are pretty big and wide and lots of trucks park along them. I certainly have a few times. That one southbound rest area is always packed.
