    You can't be the real Scottie.
    First you actually slowed down to help someone pass and now you are suggesting fictious logs?
    The end of the world is near!!!

    I'd be leary parking any flatbed load on the streets of chitown. I run there each week and learned quickly where you can relax. However just southwest of E.G.V. there's a Target, maybe 5 miles, and no one will bother you there. Hide out back and enjoyou the peace and quiet.

    Now OP, anytime you get to a place that takes your number and/or tells you they will call you over the CB, force yourself to lay down. This way if you end up in this situation again, there's no needing a truckstop for your 10.

    Also do a search for split sleeper on here. There's a great thread that explains it very well. It'll save you in the major cities when you have to fight rush hour traffic.

    Really, why roll out at 5 and sit in traffic for 2 hours, when you can roll outhe later and run away.

    I highly doubt there's anything to learn to running them stupid machines. That one would need to close mouth and open ears about.
