Parked Here for the Night

My guess is the Loves and J will be full up, but there are plenty of produce coolers you can park at.

 

Somerset plaza on Pa turnpike. Caught a flat this morning....was noticeable on pretrip but didn't see any nails, or anything else sticking out so went and got loaded then set my sights for the nearest TA to air it up and see if it would hold. 2 miles from the exit I get pulled over. I see the trooper kick the trailer tire as he's walking past it so when he gets to the me I tell him "If you would just followed me another 2 miles you would have seen I planned on stopping at the TA. He smiles at me and says "well you won't mind if I follow you there" what am I gonna say "yes officer I mind very much????" So off to the TA we go and when I pull in he comes out and tells me "I didn't have time to inspect you anyway so I'm sure glad you said you were coming here". We shake hands and he drives off.

The air in the tire is holding.

 

I was in Yuma Tuesday night and not too many trucks. If no parking in the Loves or J, theres a small fuel stop down toward the MCAS. But just about any wide spot will work.

 

At the J in Hebron, In... exit 240 on 65. Place is huge. Plenty of parking...
I was up at 3am this morning, delivered in Sturtavant WI parked right back on the street for a few more hrs sleep. Then drove up to Green Bay for a 1300 load appointment. Hit the road for NC at 1500 after weighing the load.
So I got to experience Milwaukee at rush hr AND Chicago at rush hr on the same day...
I could have made Indy tonight.... but I just was done...
Heated jp some meatloaf, brown rice and a salad... now some sleep. I think ill wait to shower in the AM....

 

I'm at the J as well, just finished orientation this week.... Picked up a load in ND going to Charlotte, I would have made Indy as well but I picked up a bolt in a trailer tire today around Black River Falls, that cost me two hours. I'm in truck 1565. Be safe.

 

Nice meeting you this morning Runningman!!

 

Produce places are closed on Sunday. If Loves is stoopidd roll out Gila Ridge and pick a cooler with paved lot.

 

Why did you warm up the salad?

 

Cheyenne, way...Flying j...doing laundry...going to Denny's and have a salad, then off to bed...got to head for Montana at 8pm if wind calms down...

 

Greenville Va at the Pilot. Definitely not one of my preferred stops, but I reloaded right down the street and I'm not headed south so White's or Lee Hi weren't an option. Don't have enough fuel to run to Breezewood. My fuel/pay settlement ends on Saturdays at midnight and while it's not a big deal to be a couple hundred light if I pay for fuel tonight I don't have to be in Cleveland till Monday morning so I'll run it tomorrow.

Got lucky and have one of the few spots here that should be safe.
