    Where are you picking up from off of Meacham Blvd? A lot of drivers spend the night on Gold Spike Drive, just off Meacham and there s a few warehouses that are closed at night at the end of Gold Spike Drive

    Im thinkin it is Sara lee or whatever they are calling the meat plant in Holcomb today(now owned by sara lee)but IF that is it--make it easy on yourself--call shipping--or have dispatch/broker do it--turn your live load p/u into a drop--they allow you to drop trailer up to 12 hours early of load time(we do it regular)then bobtail wherever you are comfy--can go up to Pilot at 65--or go back just west of 35--make first right along Mickyd's there a re a couple of decent lower cost hotels there---and if it is Sara Lee--remember it is a MEAT PLANT--you aint goin anywhere quick--so if you live load--you are going to sit in a door--w/your trailer dropped anyway-(they dont let you stay hooked)and listen to reefers scream at 10000rpms tryin to keep up with the doors open--LOL
    Good Luck

    I am delivering at Lasko. Its at 1700 Meacham. From 35W go west about a mile & there is an overpass over a bunch of railroad tracks. After the bridge its the first business on the left.

    Unfortunately, its going to be about 1 PM before they will have my load ready in West Monroe, La. Its going to be about 5 hrs to that area. So, its going to put me at the Pilot at about 6 pm. I hope there is still a space or two left at that time. The way some of you guys talked, it may start getting full about 3. One space.... just one space is all I need... lol

    Be hard to get a spot after 6 pm. You might get lucky and someone headed south pulls out after waiting on rush hour to get over.

    go to the Cabelas, same exit as the Pilot, exit 65 of I-35. Tons of parking, easy to back in, and you can walk over to the store and check out the truly cool stuff in there.
