    I know Atlanta is off limits for stopping g, but my 90 is in Conyers, right outside of Atlanta. No overnight parking at receiver, so I was planning on staying at a walmart10 miles away, will this be OK?

    Make sure Walmart allows truck parking!!! Some will have the truck towed if youre there too long.

    FM answered the question for me, to close to Atlanta, so I have to goto a secure yard. I had already talked to the manager at the Walmart.

    I'm not sure exactly, haven't checked it yet. I was told in orientation, absolutely no stopping in Atlanta.

    I missed that memo. In 2.5 years I've never been told not to park in Atlanta. But I have been told to not park in Memphis, TN, West Memphis, AR or Columbus, OH. Like most things, I guess it depends on what day it is and who you ask.

    The drop yard is on the SE side up from that little Pilot.

    Company drivers must comply... with lease drivers its different. Yup, you can park in the Atlanta area, but if your rig gets ripped-off - you're paying for it.

    The Petro has security. I usually try to park at one of the outlying truckstops. Make sure you use your aircuff, and having curtains in the windshield is a good way to disguise whether you're home or not.
