How would you address this? Just yesterday i parked (or at least tried to) at the carney's pt. flying J with a single axle daycab and 53' trailer but i still stuck out a good 5 feet beyond the end of the lines!!! This is not going to get better before it gets worse. Nothing is to scale, heck this would never happen unless I win the lotto. 8) But the space would be long enough to accommodate the common tractor with a 53 foot trailer

Where is the barbeque pit area for those weekends when we run short and want to have a big shingding.

Where is a pavillion for all of the gold chain salesmen who hang out in the T/S parking lot?? And where are all the dudes walking around with empty gas cans trying to "get some money for gas so that they can take care of their homeless grandmother, who is a retired Catholic Nun, and who is now living by a parking meter on a coin operated resperator"?? And this guy thinks he can design a truck stop?? :roll: :roll: |
