    So... all that space that WAS empty in the picture I took earlier today...

    [​IMG]

    Now is totally filled up... even the passage... There's NO open passage any more... :biggrin_25513:
    And I've seen, so far 2 trucks that came in here from my left, thinking they would be able to leave thru that passage... and had to back all the way to the clean energy bay and leave thru there... :biggrin_2552: Now there's another Schneider truck parked behind that other Schneider truck and his tail faces the aisle... But he doesn't leave much room for me to leave... :biggrin_2552:I just hope the passage is open before I leave in the morning... or that some trucks in front of me leave early... DARN these freaking truck stops... And I thought this would be a good spot... Shoot.... The only best way to know for sure is seeing it at night... when folks park anywhere and everywhere, making it really hard for those who need to leave early... :biggrin_25510:
    And now I am concerned about the guy parked to my right hitting me... if he leaves before me.... :biggrin_2552:
    Well... I can't spend all night watching... so I better go to bed and hope for the best...

    And parked for the night @ Sky City.

    Roads where good coming in from the west. Warmed up to 25 as I rolled east.......

    Not looking forward to the run tomorrow or Wednesday.
    Tomorrow is ice and fools day.
    Wednesday will be one of those days I hit the key @ midnight when I get hours back so I can drop @ the customer 8 hours away.
    The Ol 70 clock is week this run. And only get 1 hrs and change back tonight.
