You're posting here too. Besides this is a good subject.

Actually, it is a silly subject. The original question is flawed, in that depending upon which way you're traveling on I-81, no matter where they put the truck stop, it would either be before or after a scale more than likely, since most scales on I-81 sit across from each other.

For that matter, the parking for any of the current truck stops needs to be QUADRUPLED. Not nearly enough parking at any one of them, including White's Truck Stop. Most "SHORT-SHEET" the parking and expect to stay in business. No parking, and I don't even slow down, much less stop for fuel. Something we all need to do in order to give them the message. And, Winchester, VA has one of the Flying J's that I don't even slow down for.
As for the mileage, it accounts for about 50% of my paycheck. Stop pay and unload pay take care of the other half.

In regard to White's, I have NEVER seen all the spaces full at that place, and have never had to park in the back either. The Flying J at Winchester, well, yeah, I'll give ya that.
