    I've noticed just the opposite. Very few trucks on the road and parking when and where I want to. In the last month I've only found one truck stop that was full and that was a Loves that was right in the middle of a big city at like 9pm. I expected it to be full. But other than that I'm seeing fewer trucks than before.

    In fact this morning I got on the interstate and it was 45 min before I passed another truck or another truck passed me.

    East coast and midwest are ate up with trucks.
    Something tells me this will end badly for most of us.
    Anyone planning on buying a car?

    I don't know about trucks in particular, but I have crossed Atlanta, Houston, Dallas and Denver in the past few weeks and it was easy-breeze.

    The ride is good, but the parking in the midwest is crazy.
    Stopped in Ohio the other day at a fairly large Pilot, and by 4 it was 85% full or more.

    Maybe it is a sign of the slowdown, as well. More trucks sitting and waiting for loads that are scarce.

    I have a feeling that by this time next week, things will be much different; and not in a good way

    Plenty of truck traffic in Texas and Oklahoma. Blessedly lighter 4-wheel traffic, though.

    Nice setup you have with the inground pool and all the trees for privacy. Plus truck parking at home, cant beat that!!!
