"Ability to get a large tractor trailer..." I am laying on the floor laughing. I remember being hungry at times time to eat and getting creative for parking a semi. <br /> <br />There was one Mcdonalds in Ohio that was pretty good. No it is not a truckstop but one just off the interstate. We would park near it until the "No-parking" signs started to sprout. First there was 3 signs. We would park beyond it and walk. 5 months later both sides of the 2 lane road had "No parking" for maybe 200 yards to and from the mcdonalds. Finally the limitations of terrain put a stop to our little game of getting a spot. <br /> <br />In PA there was a diner maybe room with 10 cars near Lancaster. One of the best breakfasts you could get for that area. The only clue due to the very large hedgegrows that hides it from view is the heavy truck braking rubber on the road. You would look for that and slip it into the lot early in the morning. I think we had 6 trucks in there once. <br /> <br />Dont worry about super perfect parking areas for trucks either. I remember hauling out of Nogales AZ and there was a triple 6 stop on the interstate towards Adam's Mountain that one had nothing but dirt for us to park on and years of heavy trucks struggeling left really HUGE holes that will break your rig if you are not careful. <br /> <br />BTW, that one stop had everything. Even a post office. <br /> <br />Good Luck!
