    I find it to be the rattle trap independents that don't pull up. They don't or can't care about their equipment, and they sure don't care about anyone else.

    Ya pass the TA there is never any room there. The Petro your talking about is in Clearwater, MN exit 178. I go there all the time. If running down that road you can also stop at the Truckers Inn at exit 127, lot and lots of room there. The I-94 is my lane from ND to ON.

    The Pilot about 8 miles east of the one at Minooka, IL (I-80 x122) is just east the intersection of I-55 and US 6. I'm not sure of the city address. Might be Joliet. You must turn right out of their lot during the day because the traffic is too heavy to get a break to make a left turn even with a car.

    The Pilot at Monee off I-57 is really bad for the same reason, as well as being cramped and poorly planned, making a left from the street back out to Manhattan-Monee Road,is almost impossible during heavy traffic periods.

    Minooka is easy, compared to those 2.

    I tried stopping there last nite, no parking left whatsoever, and still more trucks trying to cram themselves in there, on sunday at 3 pm?? Of course it didnt help that the usual dimwits that occasionally park their bobtails in there, taking up a whole spot. I decided tot head into the stockman's over in st. Paul, there were at least a few open spots left there.

    Romine's isnt bad, but the parking has gotten messed up since TA took it over, and the swift bobtails take up a lot of spaces.

    TA added over 50 more parking spaces to the left of the new shop... now if swift would stop using it as a terminal for costco loads, it would be a pleasure to park.

    It's definitely feasible. The second story of the parking garage of the IKEA in East Palo Alto is where the docks are. To deliver there we used to drive in at 2000 and then leave out at 0800 the next morning. We'd park on the Second floor overnight.
