    If you was to just park it and take a day off you'd need to change the name to stir crazy for a few weeks. :)

    I was thinking about Pilot in CT.. The TA is in RI.... called TA and they don't charge... only the reserved. Their website said they have 200 truck parking spots... :biggrin_2554: Doesn't look like that in the picture... But I think it's an old picture when it was another truck stop..

    The Pilot in CT looks very "weird"... the entrance to the fuel bays... And the parking spots.... kinda too close... Will decide tomorrow...

    Gotta have nuts to go to this place I will be going in RI... :biggrin_2552: Dead end street at residential area... can't make right turn into street, gotta be a left turn and will ask person in charge to come meet me at the corner and block the traffic with his vehicle so I can make the turn... all other streets are too narrow, narrow turns, always some freaking pole at the corner and lots of low branches... And also asked the person in charge of receiving the load about the branches on the street I am going... on Google street view doesn't look like the truck will clear.... I REALLY don't like these kind of places we go sometimes...

    And person receiving load told me to go to this street cause trucks would get stuck on the other street entrance and would have to back all the way to busy 2 way 4 lane intersection... :biggrin_2552:

    Parking spots are angled and plenty of room at the Pilot. However that lot gets DARK at night. No lighting whatsoever....well again..it's been 2 years....so things may have changed.
