    Can't help on that one, sorry, but I pull flat and very rarely go down there. Is it potato season, down there yet?

    I assume you're working with JEF for the plants. If not, check them. As for parking, there is a place on 27 on the way out of Miami, which is also close to the way you will go for your plants. I believe it's a pilot now. You have to pay for parking, but it is well lighted and about as secure as you could hope for around there, with a fence around it. I stay there all the time when I lay over in the area.
    Here is the address;
    Sunshine Plaza South Florida
    12200 NW South River Dr, Medley, Fl
    Hope this helps.
    By the way, JEF has 9 plant loads posted at this time.

    Don't know about that. I never fueled there. I stick to T/A and Petro for fuel. I do know it's a nice lot, with all angle back in parking, easy to get into and out of.

    I had to stop A&E when my husband retired. A&E went way down, by that time, anyhow and we only had a 48 foot van. Sold the van and drom box and I bought a 48 foot, straight flatbed. I find loads that do pay pretty darn decent and I don't do any oversize. Most of my freight is off the loadboard.
