    Greetings

    Figured i'd ask here and see if anything comes up...

    I got to deliver in Otay Mesa monday morning and wondering what you guys think the chance of me finding a parking spot at the Pilot Sunday evening is.

    Thanks

    Hey-I'm not sure where that is.There's a lot less trucks out now because of the holiday.That in itself should help.I hope you get parked.Take care.Brian

    If the Pilot is full, head back to the last signal. That Chevron station also has truck parking. Most don't know it and you should be able to find a spot.

    Just try getting there when you need to.

    This month I'm told that I need a sim class by the 26th, and to get back to Otay Mesa to get my IFTA and NY stickers.
    So I turn down loads telling them that I need loads to these places.
    What happens? I'm ignored.
    'Just take the load and we'll work out getting you there...'

    So I get on safety hold for the sim class, and only then do I get a load to a terminal with a simulator.
    Here now in Phoenix. I deliver in the morning and then wait until the next day for the class - which will be the 31st.

    And I need to be in Otay Mesa before the 1st for the IFTA?
    Not gonna happen, I think.
    And I don't think I am going to try passing the CA check stations without it, since the fine will be on me.

    So I'll probably sit another day so I can pick up the IFTA at Phoenix, since 'extra' stickers are not available before the 1st.

    Thanks for the replies guys...and for the hint on the chevron.

    Not sure what that last one is about but pretty sure there is a tolerance window of a couple weeks into January for new IFTA stickers if this is what you mean. i could be wrong but i know i've run it over before. Also just get them fedex'd to you anywhere if it is an issue specific to California having zero tolerance.

    Luckily i picked up my 2013's on friday.

    Thanks and good night
