    Looks like I'll have to cool my heels after a 2 am drop in the morning. I don't see much near orlando. I'd appreciate any advice on something truck friendly so I don't end up at at a regular truck stop.

    Thanks in advance.

    You have very limited options other than calling some hotels and asking about truck parking..

    There is a small pay to park truck stop below the FLTPK on Orange Blossom Trail....Its a dump but at least you're on the trail and have some food and entertainment options....If you have enough hours there is a Loves and small Indy stop at I-4 exit 44....Good BBQ place there also....

    We have some Orlando members on here I hope they see this and can help some more..

    Not really a lot in the area service plaza on the turnpike. Also behind sysco in ocoee fl there is a place u can park nothing really around though. They own the building and allow ppl to park there. Got truck stops in wildwood but decent ride

    Nope, not afraid of a truck stop. I'll probably end up at the Perto in Ocala. I could use a haircut.

    I just hate to squander any time off sitting in the same places I always sit. I may just swing thru The Villages and see if I can get invited for a round of golf. ;)

    Just make sure you lock your truck in Orlando if you leave for any reason. Seems like there's a truck stolen in that area every week!
