    I pulled a load of produce and meat products into wally's world this morning - 4 stops in NH. All of them seemed real happy to see me!

    Just don't try overnighting in the receiving area... get's busy back there after 11 PM or so.

    Alot of the stores will let you park there but some wont. It basically depends on how bad other drivers have trashed the place. And I have never had a bad experience at any of the dc's.

    You would have a hard time finding someone in Muskogee who is not related to a driver.:yes2557:

    Don't know if it's been posted, the Walmart on exit 253 , I-40 in Winslow AZ is adjacent a huge lot for trucks. There are a couple of restaurants in walking distance as well. I just went to the Truckers Chapel in the parking lot this morning. The chaplain (matt) and another driver (Mike) were very nice. We shared communion for Easter this morning.

    There's a WalMart next to Hucks Truckstop in Mt Vernon IL - I57 x95. Park at Hucks, go next door, shop, voila!

    I went into our Walmart the other day and asked about parking when I come home and he said "No problem....just park far enough back that there is room for our garden stuff...and if there's no room out front, you can park around back. THANK YOU for asking, so many don't." If I come home with just my truck, then I get to park it in front of my house. There are 2 or 3 other trucks parked on my street all the time.

    I got chased off the WM in Richland Hills bobtail last night. Bought some stuff and figured I'd crash and get up a little early to get to the shipper. Cop woke me up about 1:20.

    Gotta dig out my list and add Mt. Vernon IL!
