    If a sign has a B next to it is a BUSINESS ROAD ie 65B... you can go there and contribute to the local municipalities in way of a hefty fine... its up to you...

    Courtesy of Ironpony...
    Avoid packed truck stops if only staying for a couple of hours...accidents abound and spots left are the ones that are the mos exposed to rubs and trainees...

    The front row is always busy with people in and out. It seems the further away you are from the front row the less likely you will be woken up.

    On of the biggest mistakes rookies and vets have is driving your 11 and then getting to the trk stop in those wee hours and trying a difficult maneuver into a parking spot dont do it I see it happen all the time late at night I park anywhere I want to I dont even care if im blocking someone from getting out all they have to do is ask me to move . Something to remember even if it takes you 20 mins and 15 maneuvers people will forget about you 15 mins later but if you hit something why trying to back people will talk about you all night...

    I was once told the men parked in the back so the women could be closer to the bathroom.
