    Adult store parking lot in Ripley, NY. They shut down 90 and had no other place to go. Not good. Lol

    I was delivering bridge beams inside the park itself. Not many trucks get to go inside the park, especially where we had to go as it was not near anything at all.

    Parking at Radio shops is often a convenient alternative if its at night time. I make a habit of knowing where the different Radio shops are

    I have seen trucks parked in some of the most desolate God forsaken places because they needed a place to bed down for the night, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS situations.

    More SAFE places are needed for trucks to park, to save the truck drivers' lives.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
