    Im gonna guess you are going to sysco--first of all they have clean safe overnight parking--just run 10 to 45--go north take the loop 8 service road exit--just before loop 8 exit flyover--make left on service road go to first light(green crossing)left under 8 to end and left to their staging area entrance--then walk over to guard shack--ck in--give phine# and sleep happily ever after--LOL--if getting in before 6am going thru town is a breeze and shortest way anyway--hope this helps

    Ok sorry was just guessing--but has to be very close--green crossing isnt very long--but Im guessing on North side of loop 8--as I recall Sysco is about only thing south of freeway--either way directions I gave should still hold--have a safe trip

    Oh and BTW--since Sysco staging is open you could probably still park there--lots of drivers get m/t and then take their 10 outside of sysco w/ no problem

    Just went through those tolls and no, EZ pass does not work. Houston has, I think, their own pass which I dont remember the name of.

    Take I-10 to the 610 loop. Run 610 to I-45 N. If you take 10 to 45N theres a low clearance overpass. I don't remember the actual height. 610 will steer you past any unexpected low clearances.

    There is nothing on 10 or 45 in town that you cannot run with a 13'6 trailer
