    There is a Casey's General Store south of US 20 at the junction of 20 and 63. Parking but I don't know about other things. The International dealer is near it, too, and about 15 minutes from the Target DC. A little ways east of the DC is the Cedar Falls Super Wal-mart and a Super Target and a Farm Fleet Store. The Fleet and the Target close later in the evening. I haven't seen the no truck signs at any of them

    At exit 68 on I-380/US20 there is a Flying J and Road Ranger Pilot. Those 2 tend to fill up sooner, but the RR Pilot has a 24 hour restaurant that is not a corporate and with decent food, and there are other places near there to park.

    Just don't go south of 20 on that exit, Evansdale is restricted for trucks.

    You are correct, no parking at the DC and I haven't found any new hidey holes that are within two miles of that place. The other driver was spot on for parking locations & I do agree about the t/s in Center Point. The showers are nicer and less crowded than Evansdale. Is your last stop down at Hy Vee in Chariton?

    There's a within-2-miles hidey hole in our system local directions, believe it or not. I'm sure it'll go away eventually, but it's there for now.

    However, absolutely no services there.

    Hy Vee is one of the few places I actually like going. There's been times that I've shown up the night before and they have still unloaded me. They do have overnight parking available but once you are done you have to leave. If you need it there is a t/s about 1/2 mile from the warehouse. When you come out of the gate turn left and it will take you right to it.

    Well I got my Norton for Friday. And I got a nice backhaul out of Lunenburg to Tipp City, OH for today. Now I'm awaiting the fate of a skid I smashed in the nose thanks to a quick stop on the Cross Bronx. Just hoping I don't have to do the Cincy Goddard run from here!

    Brake check? In The Bronx? I have never heard of such nonsense!
