    Thanks FatDaddy.... :biggrin_25519: but I have changed my plans... My delivery is kinda south west inside Dallas.... So, in order to avoid going thru Monday morning traffic, I will park at a truck stop south of Dallas... Not sure which one yet... I think they all stink... Maybe Pilot stinks the most... So, I may pick the other one...
    Planning on arriving in the morning and hopefully find a GOOD parking spot... :biggrin_25519:

    Glad you're liking the new gig there GT!! It always helps to do something you like. Now get out there and make a hand. As for me got all my leafy green stuff in the cooler, and am currently in Kingman at the Petro. Grab a few winks then let 'er roll in the AM. Been a tad windy today crost the desert. Y'all keep up the good work! Check ya later!
    Oh and miss Rocks, the TA on the south side of Dallas has prolly got the best parking. Bigger lot and such. I think it may be pay to park, but not as tight as the J. So the probability your hood will still be attached to your truck after the night is better!
     
    FatDaddy and tangerineGT Thank this.

    I got robbed at the Pilot that place is bad news...if I ever had to park in a Dallas truckstop again I would suck it up and park at the TA at the 472 even if though its a pay to park..
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    I will have to get into the swing of it . I am just not used to things being planned as tight .
    I am not complaining tho , I really did like my time being used to its fullest and not wasted sitting around :yes2557:
