    Yeah I really would like to get a place firmed-up so I can focus on studying for the permit. In school I can't research & coordinate parking and surely not while with the trainer. I'd like to skim into town after and slip right in, no worriout before going out on my own.

    Roehl more than likely has a Fuel account with TA Truck Stops. Some of our drivers down there park at the TA on exit 92 on I-95. Just walk in, talk to the Manager and let him know that you'll buy his fuel in exchange for parking.
    There's also a TA at exit 89. Not sure about any of our drivers parking there but you can check.
    Good luck.
     
    Laner99 Thanks this.

    We had an empty trailer stolen from that TA at exit 89 north of Richmond a few years ago. Kind of funny story. It was stolen by a dumb ### independent contractor. He stripped our vinyl graphics off and was caught hauling flowers with it a few days later. He didn't know our trailers have multiple GPS transponders on them. He removed the dummy decoy transponder but didn't know about the two REAL ones that were cleverly hidden.

    Funny story, lol. The Ashland Police Dept. is there 24/7 at the TA off exit 92.
