Have you ever tried to find a parking spot in a shopping center, mall, etc.....and just couldn't find one?

I would like for you to think about what truckers go thru EVERY day!!

.....several states have made it illegal to park on interstate ramps (and I fully understand why)....

    but....they also have not provided any alternative parking areas for trucks.  And I have seen

one report that states that any given minute of each day there are only enough "authorized" parking

spots for approximately 80% of the trucks on the road.

Many communities have passed ordinances that make it illegal for trucks to park in shopping center

parking lots....yet they have not made any attempts in providing any, much less adequate, parking areas

for trucks!

There are large corporations (& I like to pick on WalMart) that have taken the cowards way out and have

changed from their founder's rule that "trucks bring our products to us, trucks can park here" to the new

corporate stance that "it is up to each individual store manager" whether trucks and/or RV's can park there.

These are just a few thought for you to ponder as you watch that behomoth, that 75 foot monster, that is

wandering around trying to get a little piece of earth on which to park and get a "10 hour break" (which is

a federal mandatory rule) and happens to slow down your progress for :30!!!!!!
