    Got a midnight delivery at Aldi. Anyone know any spots I can hideout at afterwards?

    To confirm, it's the Aldi off of K-32 right? If so, they have parking there. I went right back to their staging area after unloading and went to sleep. They didn't say anything either.

    Oh OK. If it were me, I'd park one of those on ramps getting back on K-10. If you don't mind using a split or PC, there's a truck stop near Gardner, or better yet, we deliver to Sauer Brands in New Century all the time. They have overnight parking there, it's like 10 miles from the Aldi. @motocross25 you got any options?

    Have you checked the Google Reviews for that address/company?
    I got lots of helpful info reading them, especially for big or busy places.

    Olathe is tricky. They hate trucks and they have their own DOT and they find no humor in even the mildest of situations. You can hideout down in Gardner where @bryan21384 suggest or if you google “truck staging area; Kansas City KS” you see a rest area’sh looking thing. It’s where freight guys build and break triples for the turnpike. No one will bother you there for sure. It’s 20 miles from the Aldi DC.

    It’s usually nice and quite in there, so that’s where I’d go if were you.
