    Thought we should list those too.


    T/A Terrell, TX I-20 Exit 503

    No matter what time of the night, there are always spots. However I think many drivers get fooled into thinking its packed thanks to the lazy drivers who park along the driveways on either side and on the shoulder of Wilson Rd.


    Petro Weatherford, TX I-20 Exit 409

    Same deal, there are always spots open there.


    Pilot Rising Fawn, GA I-5 Exit 4

    Converted Williams so the parking lot isn't configured like a typical Pilot. Most spots are an easy setup.


    Love's Bennett, CO I-70 Exit 304

    Brand new location, only been open for 7 months. Has a pretty decent parking lot layout.


    Warfield Midessa, TX I-20 Exit 126

    If I'm stopping at night in the Midland area, I don't even try the Love's or the Pilot. I've always found a spot at the Warfield. It's a bit run down but when all I care about is going to sleep, who cares, lol!


    T/A San Antonio, TX I-10 Exit 583

    Never a shortage of parking at this place, probably because everyone is at the J watching the "show", lol.


    Love's Waco, GA I-20 Exit 9.

    The parking lot isn't particularly big but what spots are there are easy to back into. I've never seen it 100% full.


    Big Cabin Travel Plaza, Big Cabin, OK I-44 Exit 283

    I've always found a spot here plus they have full service fueling!


    Petro McCalla, AL I-20/59 Exit 100.

    Again, never full up even in the middle of the night.


    Petro Kingman, AZ I-40 Exit 66

    Always seems to be spaces left at night.


    Any of the truckstops in Eloy, AZ. They are always some spots left.


    Circle Bar Truck Corral, Ozona, TX I-10 Exit 372

    Plenty of parking here. Seems a little spooky at times since it's in the middle of nowhere but beggars can't be choosers. I did notice that some of the waitresses in the restaurant were very good looking.:biggrin_25525:

    TA in Wheeler Ridge, CA: I-5 xt 219. There is ALWAYS parking there, any time of day or night.

    Avenal, CA: I-5 xt 319. Usually parking there anytime since everyone goes to the pickle park a mile up the road.

    Cottonwood, CA: I-5 xt 662. Just past the northbound scales. Small Texaco with maybe 5-6 spots but most don't know about it (until now).

    TA at Corning, CA: I-5 xt 630. Usually doesn't fill up. I often find nose in parking at any time of night.

    Littlerock, CA: On CA 138. Texaco with a Burger King and a McDonalds across the road. Bumpy dirt lot but always can find a spot.

    I always liked Short Stop I-80x201 in Iowa before it got Pilotized.

    As for current, Truck World usually always has spots open in Hubbard, OH (I-80x223). Kingsville TA (OH I-90, forget the exit), almost always has parking day or night, tons really).

    Iowa 80 Sucks, who ever designed the parking lot is a moron, all the angled spots are set up so you have to blind side (all be it at an angle but still), and dont let its size fool you, when they close I-80 or the truck show is there there is no place to park...Only thing i like about iowa 80 is the Blimpie in the building with the fuel desk...

    The truck stop in St. Alban's, Vermont usually has a lot of parking at night. And Houlton(sp), Maine as well.

    That's about it. Everything else fills up by 6pm.
