So I have been out driving for some time now learning things as I go mile by mile. But the strangest thing is; where is the craziest place you fellow drivers and had or chosen to take a reset? I was in Oakland at the docks and although the Receiver would let me park on their facility (completely out of hours) I kept getting in the way and had to park in the middle of the road where other drivers normally just wait in line to enter each yard. Two lanes on each side of me with trucks flying by and some blocking a lane causing other drivers to just split lanes. Couldn't sleep the first day as I was so nervous someone would strike the rig/trailer. So I stayed up since 5am that day and at midnight I finally convinced myself to just close the bunk curtain and sleep. I was so drained that in less than 10 minutes I was out to the world.

Ive delivered to that exact place on time so I know exactly what you're talking about. Its not fun there especially with all those drivers in a hurry. Unfortunately theres really no plan B's in that area.

Nope. Plus any truck stop or rest area is 40-70 miles away either on i-5 or Ca 99 near Ripon.
