    Looks like Parsons Ave off London Groveport Rd runs behind the track and accesses the truck parking.

    We could when I was there last month. I suspect 5speed wanted Casino parking for the restaurant there. ;)

    Actually I had picked up a load of beer in Columbus and I'm negative 3:42 looking for a place to park because I couldn't stay on shippers property. It was just a bad day. I had an empty reefer. I knew I'd be overweight...which I am. I asked dispatch before I even went there, if they would load a reefer. Yes they will they said. Well, yea I got loaded, 880 over on my drives. My fifth wheel is slid all the way forward, and shipper isnt going to cut weight because I'm not over gross. Shipper says " should have brought a van for pickup"

    Then it gets better because I'm out of time, so to keep from violating I log off and drove to the Loves. I'm still taking my 10, no matter what that e log says. Supposed to be there by noon today. Nope, not happening. Plus I'll have to go out of route to avoid the scales. All of this, because I had a reefer.

    Yesterday I made a delivery to "Hyster" in Berea, KY... I got there at 6:00 PM and while being unloaded I took my tablet and start looking into Google maps to search for a overnight parking spot (The Love's truck stop was out of the question at 7:00 PM) I found a nice spot 5 minutes away,... A place that l new it won't give me any problems.

    Today I wake up... Waiting for dispatch to send me a load assignment and from far away I see this state trooper coming really fast... (Like a Leon that's going to get his prey) and he parked right in front of my truck!
    He look at me and then looked to his right! (No buildings,no construction, no block road, NO sign that would say No Parking! Then he looks to the left!... Same deal! Nothing!
    He look upset and mumble something..? Turned around and went back where he came from!
    The Leon did not get his prey any which way he tried to look!
