    I dropped at Indy, and didn't pick up til the next day in Shelbyville, sure there's a casino by that Pilot, but it was getting late and I like to support the Investment Lounge when I'm in that area.

    Currently at Love's in Franklin, VA. They're enforcing the no parking outside of designated spaces.

    They've been on the intercom three times in the last hour. Making people move who slide in next to the scale. They're threatening to tow and I'm pretty sure they mean it. Bravo!

    Any Huckleberry care to call their bluff? Lol

    Just think how much fun it would be for the truckstop to call up the local towing guy and say to him "Hey, how about you park that monster tow truck you don't use very often right here in the front row? See if anyone gets the message.

    that's a nice bar with good food and nice people, but parking at that J ain't worth the hassle. That is one of the very, very few "No Park" locations on my list. One of the others is the place I think you're talking about. Is it the Pilot in Indy across the bypass from the new J? Man, I won't even stop and get fuel there.

    Yeah, the problem with the Lebanon j is even if you get a spot, you might go in for a couple brews, come out and find your truck in pieces and two cops wondering where you are
    I've seen it happen there
    Same with the 108 in Texarkana
    Unless I get a safe spot, I keep on rolling.
    And agree about the Indy pilot
    Even if a naked Jennifer Aniston was serving free beer and two dollar lap dances I wouldn't stop there
    Now Effingham.....
    That's a go

    Two good choices
    Just outside the petro yard
    Or the one 20 feet from the ta lot
    That one even has a bridge from the lot to the bar much like buckles in Amarillo
    And the owner's a cool lady.

    I'm almost hoping that drivers thought was 'F-it' and not 'i can clear that'...
