    You can still park at the husky in Merritt though. Just no services but the Boston pizza is a good meal atleast compared to the husky food. There’s a new husky going in across the highway from the flying j with a Ricky’s. can’t wait for that to be built. Chilliwack also has a co-op off lickman you can park at and I see a lot of people parking for the night at the kaltire too. Thankfully my yards right there.

    I parked mine in the yard up the street from you on the other side. Filled with RVs and other assorted junk. But I was one of the first there, and was grandfathered at $65 to park my tractor. But I ended up selling it. #### ESSO for shutting down. I could sneak over there and wash my black truck myself in the lane beside the commercial wash bays. They had a coin operated pressure washer and a cat walk. Anyhow, as anybody in Chilliwack knows, the dust and dirt from the valley fields blows our way. My black truck almost turned grey without being able to wash it. But then a building was being built right next to my lot, and of course, all that construction dirt and dust landed on my truck too. Finally became light grey. Turned out to be a bloody Volvo dealership. Argh!!! But at least my shop moved from Yale over to the old GT Mechanical place. So was able to sneak there when I needed to lol

    My yards dust probably ended up on your truck too lol it’s so bad sometimes. I know the people behind that live in that old farmhouse hate that the area turned into an industrial park. I was hoping for a Kenworth dealership. Not Volvo
