    Just a thought, how about using a little foresight and park where you know you will be able to get out. Just my .02

    There is some good paying companies that run that area but you going to chain a lot and will be holding on for that wind and ice can be very interesting, and that area is getting very crowded now because of the land and living prices are almost reasonable, but all them truck stops still fill by sundown because not many like to run nights.
     
    Steel Dragon Thanks this.

    I found it is easier to run nights, pull in to the parking as everyone is leaving, you just need to watch for those that think the clock is running, gotta floor it. Heck by that time I am sleep walking but I do carry rocks in the pockets.
     
    Steel Dragon, tscottme and buddyd157 Thank this.

    MB you right, but I was driving there's for few month back in forth from TX to Midwest, and never had problems with finding parking lot even around 10-11 PM.
    In NE if you will not shut down by 8 you can forget about that free shower you have from peelot or love's

    P.S unless of course you want to pay 12-15 $ per night for parking space

    Drive at nights, it will take much less time getting thru the cities, and the city lights are kind of neat, also the action when the bars close can be comical.

    Mr @mitrucker is speaking as a strategist.

    Strategy in parking will prevent you from having to SWITCH and being blocked in by ILLEGAL IDIOT. Yes, it is a NICE IDEA.
