    i have a delivery at the Ford Chassis plant and I haven't been to detroit in many years. I know things have not gotten any better there. So, can anyone suggest a truck stop that is in a reasonably safe area for overnight parking.

    Thanks

    Just go park down at the Detroiter, exit 32 off of 75. Ain't worth the risk parking in the city. We had a guy crazy enough to park on a city street for the night and he woke up to find his trailer open and 60 cases of produce missing

    Yeah, depending where you're coming from, The Detroiter (J), or one of the stops in Dexter.

    Or if you don't mind a short drive in the morning, Perrysburg is a nice place.

    It's the Lynch road facility and I will be on I-94 east. I have no plans to park on the street as I am not suicidal. Just want a place where I and the truck will be safe.

    Thanks for any suggestions.
