That's just like the Love's here. They expanded the parking lot, on the north side of the truck stop, but the entry is way too small. The entry is like other truck stops, on the service road. When you pull into the entry, there are parking spots on the left, so it's single file until you get to the fuel island. Sometimes, there are trucks lined all the way up along the service road, back to the intersection.

That Loves will be a ghost town after the produce season. The flying j just bought the Barney's at exit 12.

When it snows on the Grapevine and the 5 is shut down the Petro is a ZOO. Double and tripled parked everywhere. You can't even get into the In N Out burger when that happens.

yep that is so true been in this situation a few time the only options at that time are a just pull to the side and wait it out b) turn back and head to rest area/ truck stop @ intersection of 58 and i-5 c) or find some one for company and head up 58 and curve your way up to LA...pilot @ 99 in Wa is worst for finding parking other than that washrooms and showers are always clean......
