    The exit for route 64. Head west, there is a circle k on the left with maybe 5 spots, and a mcdonalds on the right with a few spots. If that fails, go to the ellenton exit, on the road behind the pilot is a hotel with truck parking in front. I used to park there and never had them bother me. another spot that ifs a few miles out of the way, about 15 miles east on 70 in myakka is a small fuel stop with room to park and is never filed up. Just don't idle and no one will bother you.

    Just remembered, just north of Bradenton is a good sized rest area. Both on the north bound and south bound sides of 75

    Ive loaded there many times, your time is about average. I try to hold out until they ask for a 4 foot tarp. Those 6 and 8 foot loads I have to babysit to much.
