    On vacation it would be nice. With someone else’s unlimited credit card. But to deliver in a tractor trailer, nope it sucked. One dock was nice and open. Then next two just got worse.oh well. Parking is the real pita. Had to go up to fort pierce.

    This statement has been verified by consulting the Trucker Path app, where it has a rating of 3.0 on 556 reviews. Surprisingly enough, the TA in Gary is rated 3.5 on 664 reviews and the Petro in Gary is rated 3.1 on 778 reviews.

    On the other hand, the TA in Commerce City, Colorado, is rated 2.2 and the one in Wheat Ridge has a rating of 1.6, both with more reviews than those mentioned earlier. And I think people are being generous to the Colorado locations.

    Yep. First time I went there was with trainer. We found a tiny PeeLot somewhere around there. Room for about 4 trucks. I think it was a 7-11 they turned into a "truck stop" - no place to get anything to eat. Had a granola bar for dinner.

    Tap beer is the two dollar window at the track or the low dollar nickel and dime slots in a casino and will crack the nut every month. Yes the big money is in the bottles of booze but it is even easier to control. Simply have your bartenders put every bottle on the scale and write down the amounts. Super easy inventory every night. Check 10 bottles at random in the morning for the correct weight vs what was recorded the night before and presto you get honest pours from your bartenders. They can still steal by adding water to the bottles but it is hard to do without every person being in on it.

    The rating depends on the level of tired, wet, and hungry as well.

    Wheat Ridge is within walking distance of King Sooper's ( Kroger ).

    Both are very ruff though.

    Never was much of a beer drinker... Prefered mixed drinks or good whiskey. My favorite bar let us regulars run open tabs from payday to payday. My favorite bartender at that bar only marked down every third drink on my tab... And I still was able to rack up over $1k in 2 weeks on occasion.

    There's still a ton of spots open here, and this grain hauler is about to lose his mind cause guys are parking in the driveway in front of him.
