    Working on loads for next week. May be delivering north of Pittsburgh on I-79, and reloading on the east side of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. Any place to park somewhat close to any of those areas? PA is the worst for parking.

    What hours will you be parked? I may have a hidey hole for you. There is nowhere to park near your reload. Where is your reload going? I can probably come up with something.

    Probably parked 9pm-7am. Going back to Malvern, OH. Not a for sure yet. Should know by the end of the week. I live 60 miles from Pittsburgh in Ohio, but want to save the deadhead.

    I79 at exit 99 there's a pilot and a new Sunoco truck stop, exit 105 there's a love's. Once you go south of exit 99 there's nothing, other than the speedway in Neville island, but it's not really a truck stop. Maybe a spot or 2. East of the squirrel hill tunnel there's absolutely nothing except for the Oakmont service plaza, but you can only get to it going east on the I76 turnpike. Best bet is to run route 51 south to I70 after your pickup in Pittsburgh, there's a flying J and big Exxon in Smithton. Puts you 9-10 miles west of I76
