To answer a blog question......

Yes, I locate the truckstops, trailer washout places, etc by a small book I have that lists them by state, highway, exit umber, etc. I buy a new book every year, and sometimes wear them out and have to buy an additional one. LOL

Thanks for that info. So if a company wants you truckers to use their place of business they had better get it in that book.

well, the book info actually comes from other truckers that let the publisher know. but yea, if the truckstop is not listed, then they probably lose alot of business.
i have found some places that were not listed, and they gave a "so what" attitude. lol. go figure

BRS, another ?, do you have to pay to park at night at some of the truck stops and if so how much?

Just Vicky said...

It would be my guess that BRS & TK are going to load up at the Kraft plant in Champaign?

BigRigSteve said...

yup JV.

it will be a drop/hook. question is will it be ready early? delayed? lol

yes, there are some truckstops that charge $10-$12 to park.

Atlanta, Los Angeles, Memphis, Chicago, and some others.

Spend $25 in store or fuel up, and parking is free.

I took time out for lunch and now we are sitting still somewhere. Anyone know where we are?

So that explains why you SHOP a lot to get free parking and free showers!

Yippers, I figured that was where you would be headed in Champaign. Darn it all, we could have taken you out to lunch had I been in town. But no I had to be 200 miles north in South Bend Indiana!!!! GRRRRRRRR

Have you ever heard of the Beef House restaurant BRS just barely over the Eastern Illinois border in Covington, IN ? Great place for steaks!

Do you have a GPS in your computer that moves the yellow pin on the map? We should see the Kittie more. When you park make one cam a Kittie cam!!!LOL
And also with you.

That is a very good idea.

I see we made it to Champaign.
