    The TA a few miles South from the exit 205 Petro normally has a few spots left any time of day or night. You might have to park in the FAR back lot, about 1/8 mile from the building, but there's normally *some* parking there.

    81 from PA to TN is one of my main routes.

    Yes they still have it, I was just there 2 weeks ago, parked over next to the shop at the back of the lot. I didn’t use the shuttle; sit on my duff too much as it is LOL

    Speaking of Robot Trucks At CES in Vegas this Yr i went out with Freightliner to see the new self driving trucks. Im not sure i would want to be along side one of them at 75 mph but i have to tell you i was impressed. It drove it self, parked the whole 9 yards yeah it still had a driver at the wheel just in case something went wrong but the future of self driving is right around the corner. My question is who gets the ticket if the dang thing runs out of hours...lol

    I do not think the TA has a shuttle. Its lot is nearly as big as the Petro.

    Crap, completely missed that you said TA and not Petro. My bad. However, I can’t think of a TA near the 305 right now. That’s where the VA chicken coop is, you know the one that is always open for business and pulls everybody in.
     
    Farmerbob1 Thanks this.

    I screwed up the exit # the first time. It is 205 not 305. The TA is the one at exit 195.

    Once again, how is a cell phone allowing you to cheat on your hours??
    And, where is the requirement that a driver must carry a cellphone?
    By the way, I don’t know what kind of crap ### phone you have but the one I have can turn off location AND also turn the phone off.
