    Couple of things here. Simple planning keeps you out of places you don't want to park? Yeah right. Tell that to the shipper/consignee that holds you up for 6 or 8 hours or more and screws up your entire day. On the lighter side, if the driver was doing the opposite and leaving the T-A in Morris to go to the Pilot in Minooka? They deserve to get pulled over and get written up for being stupid. :biggrin_2559:

    Haha that is funny I deliver the pop to those two accounts I always laugh at that sign she has posted in the window 10$ for parking. What makes it worse is that her nephew is a tow truck driver and they tow you if you walk away from your truck or if your in it and don't answer

    this place is a gas station with a lot... I wouldnt let a bunch of trucks park here either cuase there is no room at the pilot... No need to cry about it... Plan accoridingly... Anyone who has been driving awhile knows the pilot in Minooka is a constant circus... You need to plan ahead of time...

    Every time I went to the Pilot at Minooka there was always some driving trying to put his hood back on his truck. I avoid that place now. TA in Morris gets my business when I find myself ready to park for the night in that area and I like the Quiznos for a change over Subway.

    Yeah, but it's not nearly as entertaining watching the megacarrier newbs scarin' the bajebas out of everyone they're backing near in that little PEElot!
