X3- Nothing moves without trucks.

What does this have to do with Florida Turnpike Rest Stops and how long you can park to rest? This thread is getting off-track, looking back the original question was answered.

"as a former otr trucker it made me mad to pull into a truck stop and see a camper parked"

Are you one of the otr truckers that try to make RV'ers feel un-welcome?

Many of the Flying J’s and Pilots I encounter are setup as truck stops and as businesses have changed the way they market, actually allowing, encouraging RV access, along with the transportation professionals.

Pilot Flying J

I have worked in the transporation trucking industry, and many professional drivers are great people getting along with all, positively embracing changes, representing the industry in great ways, there are also some of the old negative stereo-types out there.


Hope your retirement from Trucking has brought you happiness and peace, can’t we all just get along?
