    Thank you FatDaddy... actually I kept wondering if all the stops at toll booths would cause almost the same delay the traffic jam caused... considering the time, it was 17:30... I was traveling from south to east... Well... so I saved the co. some money and about 8 miles... Woop dee doo... and spent about 35 mins or so at that parking lot... :biggrin_2552:

    the trouble with some of these drivers if breathing wasnt an involuntary action they would forget to do it
    some would put on their resume they can make CO2 from O2

    I was going to park at FJ in Knoxville, TN but considering the time... it would be 20:10... I became concerned I wouldn't be able to find a good parking spot... I find those truck stops, Petro, TA and FJ there very congested and the parking spots are very tight... So... I decided to park at Wilco... Ahhh... lots of good parking places here... :yes2557: If only all Pilots were like this... half of my problems would be solved... And if only I could take a "free" shower at Wilco...
    Oh well... hopefully will park at a FJ tomorrow and will take my shower...

    Hey, is it possible to find some good parking spots at FJ in Carneys Point at 17:00 on a Sunday or is it likely to be congested? I know there are other truck stops around... and a rest area...

    I've never had a problem finding parking at Carney's Point. You should be fine.

    Left Atlanta area this morning.... made it to the Walmart in Warrenton MO. About an hr west of ST Louis.....
    I needed to restock the truck... more than i needed a shower.... i can do that tomorrow.....
    Dont usually stay at Walmart... must be 10 trucks here.... I called ahead and they seem truck friendly but asked to not idle. Apu is fine
    Course about 4 trucks are idling....

    You'll be fine. Can also park across the street. I'm 10 minutes away from there

    Carney Point, NJ ? We always found parking or try the truck stop across the street with a Dunkin Donuts.
