    Mobil in Webberville, Michigan off of I96. Had to pay $10 to park here. Ugh. I looked and looked and this was the only place I could find. I was hoping for a shower but there are no major truck stops on the part of I96 that I'm on that I can find anywhere. Hopefully I can grab a shower someplace tomorrow. Headed to Stanwood, MI tomorrow to deliver and pickup my next load.

    Probably but Not sure, I know that harrahs does and we have our drop yard off 435 in kc

    edit I saw online that overnight rv parking is allowed in the west lot

    Most casinos in the Midwest and west are truck friendly. One of the better casinos to stop at is downstream casino I-44 in missouri, exit 1, it's just over the border in OK

    next time you are in a major, pick up the Next Exit book usually $14.99
    http://www.thenextexit.com/ lists what and where plus amenities.

    also look into the pocket truck stop guide , usually stocked with the "office supplies" $4 I think
    http://www.truckandtravel.com/ this one shows the independents as well as majors. Big plus is the off interstate spots


    I really like this one. Park My Rig . shows a great listing of places that allow truck parking (walmarts etc.) plus what is near by as far as food etc. will even give the number of estimated spots available . Gary OC is where i bought mine but it was a clearance item. They may or may not still carry the current edition. if not .... http://www.parkmyrig.com/
    this one is the most expensive

    worth having all three in my opinion. plus there are a bunch of apps available with some of this stuff too.
     
    gentleroger, moosc and dtcscout Thank this.

    I know of at least a couple fast food restaurants on that stretch of i96 between Grand Rapids and Lansing that have truck parking. Last time over there I parked at an Arby's overnight. Mcd's across the street had a smaller lot as well.
