I just delivered in Knoxville and I'm now at the J at exit 369. Lots of vans and trucks here. Any EO folks in any of them? I'm in the Sprinter with my name on the side. Nap time for an hour or two.

If I were U Id move away from the Flying J as the Commerical two sister run a muck in that Truck Stop from 1030am to 4pm then they stop. So they will be banging on your door. if you dont believe me just turn your cb on 19 and listen. Ull get an ear full. The Petro or the TA would suite you much better also The Flying J closes there restruant there at about 1030 ish to 11ish till 0530 in the morning. The Only Plus about the area you in is the Freightliner above the flying jay and the Truck was across the street. Hit the Petero and the Idle air or the Ta FOR THAT MATTER. There are Two many Flys at the J.

To date, I have never had a lot lizard bang on the door of my van. They tend to steer clear of the "family-friendly" parking lot.

Until I find another truck stop chain that gives shower credits to van drivers, I'll usually gravitate toward the J wherever I happen to be. Anyway, I won't be here long anyway. I'm picking up in the morning and headed to Chicago.

The last time I was at that J was 6 or 7 years ago. The lot lizard was a cop. She would get in the truck and about 10 minutes later a police car was there with the driver in the back seat.
