I rather be in Boston, I am in Dallas (again and hope to get a run to Co) and surrounded by FedEx trucks :(

We had a truck unload over the weekend and said the same thing. We went out to Rockwall and got a load out of Garland to Chicago last night. Looks like we are escaping that area at the right time.

It is a much better place to park. Away from the crowd and all the madness at the J and TA in Hutchins.
Way too many crack queens and idiots to park there for any length of time. Much better food and accomodations in a whole lot of other places.
Even the Petro out in Weatherford is better than what is at that exit.

your right....... only time i go over to them places on 20 is when i need to hit the truck wash.... it is scarey there......
i been to the Ta out by denton .... once.....
another readon why i park in rockwall.... is im dating someone whom lives in mesquite .... i also have parked at a sam's club.. store.... that shares a parking lot with a Frys electronics and a golden corral ...... wooHoo..... LOL ..... thats off 635 on north west highway.... heading towards dallas on it.... and only like a half a mile or less from 635
there's also a wendys there.... a sonic and gas station across the street.
there r a few others truck drivers that park there way on the end other side of frys .. there;s an apt complex there..... im sure they live there.....
all this sits on the 3 city lines...... mesquite, garland , dallas..... think all 3 come together there... soemwhere.. lol
when i am there....... it use to say i was on the garland boards...... but now since boards have changed not sure what it will say now.
i use to live in ft worth and dallas...... for 17 yrs..... its like my second home .... i love it there.

As a fleet owner I will not hire drivers from the Boston/NE area. I find it hard to get decent freight. If they drive home for the weekend in Rhode Island it would be Tuesday or Wednesday before we would finally decide to move him out to the Meadow lands in New Jersey. Same with the Foxboro board that used to have 4 loads a day posted on the board. I had a driver sit for two days without a load being the first out. Useally if he headed west on 90 we would get load offers out of Eastern NY state, but most of the time they went right back to New England or worse Long Island. Most of the time they were under 200 miles and then it was sitting time again.

Tolls suck in this area. GW bridge one way is like 12 dollars and then you have another 12 dollar bridge to get to Long Island. If thats not bad enough you have to pay again to get back across and then pay on the Jersey Turnpike. Panther even had my truck get on a Ferry to deliver to a small island off the coast and it cost $60 dollars to get on the boat. We got $100 dollars in toll assistance out of them.

You are very close to a lot of places to eat etc. Have you gone into the main building at that pilot? there is the fuel building then the other building in that lot had several showers in it and a great resturant in it. Or did pilot trash all of that like they do when they take some places over. I don't do pilots at all you arent far from the T/A in CT either just south on 84 in Endfield Ct.How many other trucks are in your area ? The move may not hurt you in the least.
