    I was worried it might be packed early since it's the only truckstop in the Ft. Smith area that I'm aware of.

    I don't go to Fort Smith much but the casino on 271 on the state line has plenty of truck parking. I was through there last week and noted it because I stayed at a Walmart 20 miles west on the Oklahoma side because I wasn't sure of the parking situation

    Lol. Tell me about it. I met my buddy yesterday at the Hollywood in Columbus Oh and dropped a couple hundred. That's what I get for scheduling too much downtime between loads. Lol

    With 30 minutes left on the clock. I pulled in a rest stop near Kearney,NE. 14 hr clock killed me 1 mo gin. Was heading to Grand Island, but detoured up to Greeley to get my ifta stickers. Will be eastbound and down once they box up them dead cows. Rolling to the motor city, and or hamtramck to be exact. This is the time we say. Y'all have a good night, and comeback and see me yahear.

    Yeah, but only a couple of em count because most can be blocked in by people parking next to the building.

    Wound up getting a load anyway. Now I'm in Post Falls, ID reluctantly leaning toward idling before I go to bed. Only 20° now, but supposed to be around 6° when I'll need to start my day. Truck would probably start ok. Probably...
