    Pilot in Winona, MS. Could make it to Steel Tech in Madison where their supposed to have o/n parking. But my rule is not to go unless I've been there before and seen it myself.

    Where's your sence of adventure?
    Here' how I roll:

    WA says Overnight Parking Yes= I'm going for it

    WA says Overnight Parking Unknown= Probably going for it

    WA says Overnight Parking No= I might go for it

    This keeps it interesting for sure. I've also been known to call ahead (I know we're too stupid to use the phone and told not to even try) Google earth is also a great tool. I've spent the night in all kinds of crazy places. Just get out and ask, people are generally very accommodating.

    Something else you can do to help all of us is to update the parking with the macro.

    You can save many, many hours a week staying at the shipper / consignee vs truck stops.
     
    plentygood Thanks this.

    Lol. And ditto on Google Earth, it has saved my butt a few times. I've updated parking info before and it seems like no one ever changes it.
