    Saw this in the new today. Says (There will be parking for about 100 trucks, and the travel center will include a convenience store, showers and two quick-service restaurants. ) Any new truck stop is good Truckers need so much more parking then there is now. I hate seeing you guys parking on off ramps, scary industrial areas and closed down empty gas station parking lots because there is not enough parking these days. Here is a link to the story.

    It is needed. the problem is, in those rural desert areas truck parking isn't hard to come by, the real problem is, we're losing alot of parking in urban areas where all the shippers are.

    So the RR is going to expand . Hopefully they will level the parking lot. There are only a few spots that are level,( lot built on side of hill ) So depending how late you get there, your head may be lower than your feet.

    Been parking here for years and taking advantage of the truckers discounts.
    Sun - Thursday, $40.00 rooms, and discounts in 2 of the 3 full service restaurants.

    I never could sleep with my head lower than my feet. To solve that problem, i have a piece of 3/8 " plywood than fits the trough my mattress sits in. If they parking spot is that unlevel, i can raise up the head end and put books, cans, whatever under it to make it level.
