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

I have a feeling those walls between the center island spots are going to be knocked down real fast. Especially when those flatbedders try and back up :lol:

Unfortunately Iowa 80 is not your "average" t/s. Most of them are nowhere near that nice/big. Cool ideas though.

The only reason the walls are there is so no one hits the rear end of the other trailer, and it wouldnt be that tall anyway.

might have to think about that part more....

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

Yeah!! And where are all the piles of dogsh*t all over the barbeque pit area??

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:
