    Don't see any stops in closer than 30 miles. Any places in town to sleep? Friday AM p/u, is like fresh hours so I can get home same day.

    Us131 exit 75 is a decent truckstop. There are a few more off of I-196. That's kinda out a ways tho.
    Where exactly in GR are you picking up?

    Good question let's see,,,

    *digs up order form*

    Bah, it's a vendor for a client of ours with a generic name.
    Could be a small wood shop, an artist studio, cross dock or a storage place.

    It's on SE 40th though.
    If that helps?

    I forgot to ask, I have books for FJP, TAP & Loves, but my GPS ignores most of the minor chains.

    Is it a Wilco? Or some other minor place? How many spaces? And does it fill up fast?

    Exit 75 on 131, 76th Street. Get there early, it tends to fill up quickly. Which direction are you coming from?

    US131 to 54th St east there is a Walmart, Home Depot, and Aldi. I believe you can park in the Home Depot lot overnight. That truckstop on 76th is a Mobil IIRC.

    If you're coming in on 196 from the west, there's a brand new Pilot in Holland, exit 49. Also the independent Tulip City truck stop, same exit. Go a little further east, there's a rest area around Hudsonville.

    Thanks. I'm coming from Detroit around noon although I might try to catch a movie along the way as they've given me over 20 hours to cover only 180 miles
