    ###### pizza-pie shaped yard, portacrappers, and lot lizards at the Pilot.

    And that's the good things.

    It was a postage stamp (maybe 30-35 trailers) off a dusty white rock road when I was there last about 4 yrs ago.

    Usually no parking on Fri nites thru Sunday, and the Pilot was always crowded with a funky parking layout.

    Most loads that I took out of their were into the L.A. area....

    Thanks JimDucan. and OverDrive. Certainly not MGM Grand, huh? Being suck a small lot, do either of you know if Knight allows their drivers to leave their personal vehicles there while OTR?

    Thanks.

    They have a bigger yard now, but no services other than a potty and a dumpster, but the Pilot is close enough to walk to if you into that. Usually spaces to be had unless it's before a holiday, then good luck. I've seen worse, seen better. It's a lot.

    Thanks Shadow. I agree, a lot is a lot. Do you think if I were to drive out of Vegas I would be able to leave my personal vehicle at this lot?
    Got it. Plenty of space for personal vehicle except holiday weekends.

    The pay scale you will find on their web site. As for home time I tell them when and they get me there 99% of the time on the day requested. All trucks are 400,000 miles or less Volvo and Internationals. I don't know anything about Mills but I am sure there will be a lot of similarities.

    As far as I'm concerned miles are what you are willing to run. Be willing to run whatever and hustle loads when you are out of your area and you can be in the 3's on full weeks and mid 2's on the weeks you are coming off home time.
