Truck Stops To Avoid With High Value Loads

All that’s got to be said is “general freight”. If they get pushy just lie and say “bags of manure”. Doubt anyone’s going to steal bags of dirt and cow ####.

 

It's worth the extra 10 mile drive out to Balgonie which is even easier because of the new bypass.

 

As a New Jersey resident I can vouch that you shouldn’t park anywhere in the state if you got a high value load.

 

Those yugo’s were always missing parts..
Built on Tuesday and rusted out and fenders gone by Wednesday lol

 

Every time I have scaled in recent years they never ask and the scale ticket always reads “freight of all kinds”

 

i had worked with someone that had a Yugo.

he and i went out for coffee, waiting for our trailers to be loaded. of course, i was very apprehensive, but then again, i had a Ford Pinto, so why not..??

it actually ran quite well, had heat, (car had no factory a/c as i recall) and was ok on gas mileage.

he would spin that thing around in the parking lot, and make me dizzy...lol...

fun car, if anyone wanted a cheapo transportation. he liked it, the wife had the better car, if i recall a Buick Park Ave?

 

I said I could del. a load of t/v to fulton indus. in Atl. for a friend whos truck was in K/W shop a few mi. from there, when I pulled in to park at gate the truck i parked behind had trailer doors open and t/v laying stacked up in piles around back of doors, when they opened gate 10 min later the driver took off in a hurry and more t/v fell out blocking my way to ware/house I hit air horn and driver had look of OOOO on his face, they had only taken the small ones that they could carry to projects at bottom of hill, when i bumped dock a row of t/v tipped over and was laying on dock, man pointed to stack of pallets and handed me a list of how many went on each pallet and what size pallet they went on, I pull Flatbed and never hooked to a van load after that ever, they said it was like that every mon. that the drivers that parked with no lock on doors were striped of t/v.

 

There is no Love's at exit 583 on I-10 in San Antonio. Only TA and Flying J at that exit. The nearest Loves are about 20 miles away, one at exit 604 in Seguin and one on I-35 just outside Loop 410 in Von Ormy.

 

Trucks stops to avoid with high dollar loads.....other than to fuel, all of em
