    I'm heading to Miami to deliver on Monday morning. I could be there on Sunday already but I'm a little bit concerned about the safety there.
    It's on NW 12th Street. It's a warehouse area.
    I've been there and parking along the street shouldn't be an issue.

    Any thoughts or experience in this area is apreciated.

    Do you know where your reload is coming from?

    I'd probably go up to that place on 595

    Well I screwed up reading that ....

    I'd probably stay further out and drive in to make the delivery... might be a day just delivering maybe getting reloaded but not a big driving day ..

    Yeah the 595 truck stop is where I would stay. Paid parking unless you fuel but worth it.

    I have never taken a truck to Miami but I bet it would be a PITA. Been there twice for work in the last year and headed that way again tomorrow for another job. Takes me three days to drive there. It definitely has its bad areas but therr is a bunch of cool stuff too.

    That's why I asked. Since a fellow driver got stabbed and robbed three years ago, I'm a bit careful with parking at customers. Especially when it's in some shady warehouse areas.

    Thanks for the info about the 595 truckstop. It's not too far from the customer.
