    Arizona and Texas has some rest stops like that. Heck, at least Arizona and Illinois have central heating/AC. The older Texas rest areas don't even have that.

    Shoot, at least there are some type of facilities at those rest stops. Unlike Nevada and New Mexico. . .

    Rowland Ok @ the Cherokee Travel Plaza. Snowing in Ar. Reports say snow and ice covered all the way past OKC. I'm tired of this white crap for a while. Then the lil rodent in Pa says 6 more weeks of this stuff. Well could be worse, could be in Miami sweating to death. Y'all have a good one.
     
    TruckDuo and Dinomite Thank this.

    Ah no, I'd take 100 degrees and 90% humidity any day over negative 5.

    All the way down in Slidell, LA at the TA (I-10 exit 266). Delivered this morning with a full 14, now I'm having a little breakfast and hoping for a return load back north. Weather was 68f when I pulled in last night but it's currently around 44f. Still, no snow or minus temperatures compared to back home :D

    Dropped into the TA in Harrisburg PA to get a trailer tire. One measly pallet to Hunts Point in the AM, hardly seems worth the bridge toll and gate fee but oh well.
