Holy Cow! Showed up at the Swift Jurupa Valley Terminal about midnight. Had a 2200 live unload down the street. I thought Drivers got creative with parking spots at Truck Stops at midnight. Jeeze Louise!! Everyone is blocking everybody and everything. I'll try to avoid this place like the PLAGUE!

Rainy, if you are ever around Morillton AR again go down the road a little bit to Blackwell Travel Stop. Loves is exit 107, Blackwell is 101. It's a gravel lot but it's huge and there is ALWAYS parking. I've rolled in at midnight and not even had to back into a spot. They are terrific inside and their breakfast is awesome. Plus they have Domino's pizza and Baskin Robbins.

Errol, back me up on this!

And I know what you mean about the J in Denver. I had to get fuel there and it took 30 minutes just to get to the pumps. Middle of the day and there wasn't a single spot to park either. Luckily my reciever has a spare parking lot next door which I can park in if I'm ever in the area, even if I'm not delivering there. The lady at the guard shack says they have no problem with people parking there as that side of the building is empty.

Denver is a mess it was a miracle I found a spot at TA west at 1800 last time I was there. Our terminal in denver is even worse then Jurupa on a weeked. People just dropping trlrs blocking others in.

Really if you are going to be there it is a safe bet to pay for parking or like you said park near the shipper/receiver. I like saying at the loves 20 miles east of town. It is even full all day. Ok enough of my thread hijacking haha.

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
