    I don’t blame you. They got plenty of room. I went up there and parked in the general area of that red circle. There were some Pepsi trailers dropped and some other stuff that looked like it had been sitting there awhile, I just tucked in between them. The blue arrow is where the docks are and they are in a building, as as long as you’re not in the way of them it’s fair game.

    And I waited til my appt to check in which was at like 0900 but when doing so the guy said they really don’t go by appt it’s FCFS so soon as you’re feeling froggy maybe see what they got shaking. It was awhile tho to get unloaded. I was there almost 4 hours. So it might behoove you to try to creep out of your spot and get docked up without tripping your clock if you can.

    I have a clean truck and like to sleep with my bunk windows open so I try and avoid dust as much as I can.

    I'm at a loss for words.

    The only thing that comes to mind is "I just stopped at an Artisan Truck Stop"

    Combine a high end coffee bar, artisan sandwich deli, artisan clothing and crafts, a small trucker supply area, truck fuel and parking.

    Oh everything was overpriced, but a very nice change from the usual.

    Name is Marker 126 and is SE of Fort Dodge IA.
     
    Rugerfan, DonRobbie, Long FLD and 2 others Thank this.

    That place is nice. It’s been open a year or two. Pretty decent sandwiches and the showers are nice.

    The only downside is going east you have to do the frowned upon J turn when you leave.

    if it’s a designed turn there’s not much safety can say

    It is a pretty nice place. I usually pit stop there before picking up at Purina.

    It wasn’t terrible. I had one truck in front of me and was there right at two hours.

    After 11 days home I had to leave the Casa and roll out this morning. Picked up a load in Mobile going to Akron for Thursday morning.

    Dropped the truck at the dealer while I was home, had them run the overhead, replace an inlet nox sensor, and fix my broken drivers side door latch.
