The camera picks up parking on the on ramp and calls it a coachable event. If you're parked longer than 3 or 4 minutes, it sends a video and a coaching but it's no big deal. It don't count against the safety score. I park on the ramps all the time. The first one I got, I actually watched the video....just because I wanted to make sure the camera didn't catch me taking a piss lol.

 

Safety don't even care about that. I sleep on the ramps and side streets all the time. I did that last time I went to Brookshire, and that was like 2 weeks ago. They didn't say anything. The camera just picks up random stuff. They don't watch for that. If you're speeding, or following too close, or hard braking too much, then they'll call you or bring you in for a conversation. That's what I gathered from other drivers who got a lecture from safety. They did hit me up for a few mistakes, logging once. I didn't show pre/post trips on split sleeper berths, and the couple of times I got cash advances, I didn't know I was supposed to stay on duty if I request it at that pump. Now if you go inside with the card, cash advance no fuel, then I don't have to go to line 4........oops. lol

 

That's a different run than normal. You're surely right about that Aurora, CO Kroger. I certainly don't envy any driver that has to go to a Kroger warehouse. That's a nap waiting to happen.

 

The directions the company gave you should have you turning on Chesapeake to get there. Drive on Chesapeake all the way to Auten Rd and hang a left. You'll probably see a sign for weight limit or restriction for trucks but disregard it. You'll only need Auten for a short distance, maybe a block. Turn left on Black Satchel off of Auten and park on the side of the road parallel to the docks. Once you turn off Auten, Black Satchel curves around back to Chesapeake. I always parked facing Chesapeake because you'll have to turn off Chesapeake to get into the truck entrance. When you wake up, you'll just hang a right on Chesapeake and the truck entrance is on the right. I slept all night on Black Satchel, and they didn't say anything so I think you'll be fine there.

 

Nice!!! Did your company decide to get into conestoga or did you switch companies altogether?
