Truck Stops

amen....I30 westbound from Arkansas in Texas last week.......EVERY on ramp / off ramp had multiple trucks.
If you're planning on sleeping in a truckstop, better be there by 5

 

So what's new? Truck parking has always been a problem east of I35.

 

Also why can't the bobtails park in front like the others instead of taking up a space for a Tractor trailer that really needs to parking spot.

 

because it's all about ME......incredible...these jackazzes can clearly see BT parking, yet take a whole space

 

What hasn’t always been a problem east of I35?

 

Incredible how these guys will sit on the side of the road with no lights too. Like theyre trying to save electricity or something

 

25 years ago that area was part of my steady run. You could always find a spot, although some might require a good eye.

 

I start my day usually 4-430 am to avoid parking issues. When I shutdown I usually have the choice of the lot. I don't know why so many drivers startup so late in the day. I knock out at least 200 miles by the time most of these drivers at truck stops and rest stops get up.

Last thing I want to do after a long day is battle and hunt for a parking spot. But that's my opinion.

 

never had a problem.....perhaps it's because I get up at 5 or 6 and roll 30 minutes later.....and I plan my trips. Then I roll into truckstops at 0830 or 0900 and am amazed at the number of trucks there.
Whatever, people. Rock on!

 

Ever since Dorothy took out the wicked witch of the west. It’s been great, west of I 35.
