    Kfci is expert class. The first time I went there it took me 45 minutes to get my trl into a spot. Another time I had my tandem slide frozen all the way rear and I couldn't even pull out of the spot until I got them slid. The whole lot is set up with yard dogs in mind, not otr tractors. Anyone who gives someone a hard time for taking a while to back in there deserves what's coming to him.

    Another interesting kfci story: I went in there once and a cr England truck was almost entirely blocking the entry. He pulled up in the wrong lane (its well marked) and the guards told him he had to back out and come through the right lane. All he had to do was straight line back 30 feet and cut over to the correct lane. Easy enough? Well he cut the wheel too hard and dropped his right steer off the pavement, and its about a 10-12" drop. He was stuck waiting for a wrecker. All I could think was if he couldn't handle that its probably a good thing he didn't make it to the drop lot. Carnage might've ensued.

    Picked up at KFCI yesterday and thank sweet baby Jesus another driver offered his eyes on the back of my trailer. I would have eventually gotten squeezed into the door (and yes I know the doors are even easier than the lot), but it would have taken forever. Hitting Conley tomorrow to knock out my quarterlies and get back to runnin my tail off. If someone could drop off a clean fueled trailer by the Loves in Dunn tonight, that would be great!!

    Yeah, there's some girl on the radio trying to get drivers to come across the interstate so she can get up enough money for a hotel room... This whole town has been bad experiences as far as truckstops go. Last straw was when I thought I'd go next door and see if I could find some new work boots. Unfortunately I misread the sign. Stupid Western Star! Lol

    Welcome Vikings! You do know he was joking about the valet, right? But the pool, sauna, concierge, and the 24hr room service more than make up for it.
