Which law should I break today? Trip planning and parking.

I agree I need to practice, just honestly haven’t had much of a chance. Either I’m out of time or the lot is not good to “practice”. I have made a few difficult spots with no issues but I GOAL at least several times and use pull ups. I will work on it more and try to do it everyday.

I too find myself muttering under my breath at some of these drivers…

 

Good advice. This will be my plan moving forward. Thanks!

 

Most of the truck stops I’ve seen don’t enforce it, and won’t bother with getting a spot open. Although I know some are quite strict. I guess it’s either all or nothing.

 

Sounds nice, don’t think I have em ?

 

This has been my experience

 

There should be far more parking available! It’s quite unreasonable. I don’t understand how they let it get so bad. If you’re out east and it’s after 3 PM, good luck buddy. You might be in a place you can still snag one, but I doubt it. Then basically you can try the next one or wait around and hope someone pulls out and you see it first. There’s over 3,000,000 trucks on the roads in the US and less than 300,000 spots to park!

 

I’ll keep this in mind. But most of my checks here are under $500. Just checked and I qualify for food stamps!

 

Parking at my delivery is my first choice definitely. I am utilizing trucker path and google maps, find them both very helpful.
Great advice about stopping my clock sooner. I think that will make a big difference. I always want to run the clock out, but clearly that is not a great plan!
