Dallas, Texas crackdown....

nrvsreck....
I'm sure you are right being a local, and I may have just always had luck. Seems most every major City...getting into a TS is tougher and tougher. Dallas needs more TS's. I agree. Especially if the Cops are going to clamp down on Street parking. I will park on a Back Country off ramp...but I won't park on a City street...no way. I am saying I have seen much tougher TS's to find parking...that's all. When you get up in the North East...they have very few TS...what ones that exist are as big as a torn 5 dollar bill. You really learn to wiggle your way into a TS and stack yourself in the upper bunk. As far as Dallas itself...I've parked there only 1/2 dozen times...and I can't say I've paid particular attendtion to what time of day. I do remember going in late at night once. Couple times after I made my morning drop. Another time probably late afternoon...coming out of Uvalde...heading north.

Oh yeah, parking in the south Dallas TS's is possible, even at night, but like any other city at night, it's a waste of time. I usually try to find a little TS about an hour outside of a city and park there for the night, then get up early and beat the traffic. And yes, I've been to the NE a few times and have tried negotiating those TS's, if you want to even call them "truckstops". There really needs to be a massive increase in truckstop parking and restareas, but , here's spittin' into the wind! :roll:
