Florida officials are pushing to shut down 50 year old truck stops on I-4 | CDLLife
I experienced this issue firsthand a month ago while making a delivery to Publix in Orlando. The one truck stop in the city (Acme Truck Stop) was filled to capacity so they actually had “police tape” sealing off the entrances/exits with nighttime security turning drivers away and recommending drivers shutdown in the Walmart parking lot up the street. Even the service areas on the Florida’s Turnpike were filled to capacity.
WTH Florida???

It's so typically stupid , they want to close the rest areas because they're full of idling trucks every night !!!
Try sleeping in a truck most nights , like 80%, without air , in central Florida .
And when they close those rest areas like you said WTF do they expect us to do -
I'm actually sitting in this rest area...if they closed this down the flying j will become way worse than it already is as well as the loves on Daytona they need more stops down here not less
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
Sounds like Central Florida wants you guys to park your trucks at the yard and go home//
To me,It seems like the state cant keep up with the volume of trucks down there, Can't wait until the Roads,Streets get so congested Like China, An all out chaotic mess with people losing all control of theirselves....
Watch, You guys are Already complaining of No Parking- Keep Buildin' em,,,,,Cars and Trucks-Keep bringing people to this country-Keep maki'n babies while their at it.
We'll be like China in no time -
I usually park in hiding spots I've find over the years or at a customer if they ok it.
Rarely do I park in a truck stop overnight in any state.johnwayne187 and x1Heavy Thank this. -
