I THOUGHT so!! I've BEEN everywehere lately.... and I keep seeing you circling the lot EVERYWHERE I go! :lol: How do you manage to BE "everywhere" at the same time?? :shock:
I'd been driving for over a year before I heard the term "solar powered." :lol: :lol: Cracked me up!!!
I drive team, so I'm not usually looking for a place to shut down for the night, but... I gotta stop and switch drivers now and then. It's REALLY hard to find a spot after the sun goes down! Or at least one in a truckstop where I can get coffee! (I know... switch on the fuel island! But, hey.... we gotta EAT sometimes, too!)
Many a time, I've pulled into a T/S late at night, looking for a parking spot. But, my EXCELLENT backing skills notwithstanding, FATIGUE made it hard for me to "hit" certain spots. After trying 2 or 3 times, I got pissed off and went back on the road. Funny thing, just the "exercise" woke me up and I was good for another 200 miles! :lol:
But, yeah, parking spaces are hard to find once the sun goes down! Like someone said, the "off the wall" truckstops are a better bet! But, don't expect to take a shower or get a hot meal there!
Best bet? Pay the $10 for a gold membership with IdleAire! You don't have to use the services, but you can park in all those EMPTY spaces! :lol:
Call it "protection money." As in the Sopranos! :shock:
And they'll actually SHOW UP to help you back out, if you NEED it! :lol:
