Truck Stops: No parking at night in Louisville, KY area!

When did that start I wonder.I use to stay in Lousiille once a week a few yrs ago.Better either start driving at night or find a parking spot before the sun goes down.

 

You can park at the Derby City Tankwash . Exit 4 off I-264 .

 

Yeah, those #### solar powered drivers get pretty annoying. Especially winter time, one wonders how they make any money then!

 

Maybe their schedules call for them to run that way. The 14 hour window is the culprit.

 

One of the perils of running legal. I like to start my day around 5am so I shut down around 5-7pm.

 

Louisville area used to have much more parking up until the early 90's.

XXX theater in Clarksville has parking in the back. They also have receiving in the rear.
Circle around the Sam's Club in Clarksville off I65 and park in front of the Wal-Mart. Many restaurants to choose from.
The McD's off I65 in Selllersburg has about 12 parking spots.
The Gas N' Stuff at the Georgetown, IN exit off I64 always has parking.
There is a vacant lot across from ESSROC Cement in Speed, IN that is always empty.
There is normally some place to squeeze in at the Loves in Memphis, In

 

I understand loads have delivery times that have to be met but was yours so tight that you had to run all the way up to the last minute? Just curious. I typically run dedicated but sometimes have to do system runs. When I do those, it is always uncharted territory so I always start looking for a place to stop about two hours ahead of time so I don't get in this situation. A little trip planning does not hurt either.

 

Sometimes it would be the result of trip planning.

You might be getting close to the delivery point, so you want to get the most out of the day before you deliver. That way, there is less lost time and not as early of a 14 hour window.

You might also have spent the last part of your day at a dock and they do not allow parking.
