    On the street. Laredo being Laredo you're probably safer there than in the TA!

    :biggrin_2559: I am not very familiar with Laredo... yet... Came here a few times only...
    I am across from TA... This truck stop has free parking... and I took my shower, cooked my meal... and have my windows open cause my clothes are hung to dry... and I like the warm air from outside... Well... it smells like diesel here... Oh well... Will close the windows soon before I go to bed...

    Parking on Killiam isn't all tht bad. You will be left alone there. At least we have a yard in Laredo to stay when all else fails. Though there is barely any facilities there so I usually just use it for an overnight parking spot

    At the TA in Tallulah, LA. Plenty of parking at 2200 so I'm a happy camper. Will finish this run to Tifton, GA tomorrow then reload on Wednesday heading to Springdale AR

    Wish I had seen this earlier. Your at the Flying J ?

    We got into Laredo around 1pm. Olympia International loaded us in less than an hour. Our first trip into Laredo wasn't bad. Faced no traffic. The biggest problem was trying to scale at that Pilot. It was very busy. After all of that, we parked at the Welcome Center in Laredo till 9pm so I could take a nappie. If I knew you were around Rocks we would have driven down there. Always fun meeting people in real life.
    Never got a chance to try any Mexican food :biggrin_2553: We got there at the perfect time....I would have thought there would be tons of food trucks since Laredo is full of truckers. Maybe I should move to Laredo and open up a restaurant that caters to truckers. I probably would have to cut the cartels in on some of my profit. :biggrin_25523:
