swiftyexp · Nov 12, 2006

I have been doing this about a year and believe it or not have not been in Indy been through Indy and delievered here once and already had a load in chicago area so never got to sit here. I am #3 in line.
Chicago has 4 trucks and cincinnati has 6 I know freights been slow but typically can you guys get out of indy, in

I got a load out on Friday, for Panther, same day I arrived, so it's not a bad place to be. Just remember, "nothing is guaranteed"...(But if you forget, dispatch will remind you!)

Yea I know nothing is guaranteed and our company has an agent out here. I am staying at the flying j in the middle of Indy and Dayton but closer to INDY. There are 5 truck here. I dropped off here this morning so I was hoping that those guy knew something by coming here. I will keep my fingers crossed, thanks for your reply

You're welcome - but I can't resist adding that it may be the only thing the drivers sitting at the J know is which shower is now ready, which is all I know there, too. And since I don't want to know that, I never try to sleep there :+

Yea, I hear ya. I came here this morning after dropping off. I very seldom even stay at any truck stop. I came here and got a shower and using the wi-fi etc. anyway....... Just hope dont have to stay here to long.....

Thanks SE

Exit 4 on 465 is a nightmare! You have 4 truckstops and every one is jam packed by 9:00 pm.Is it just me, or are more truckstops getting filled earlier in the day?

I would rather go to the one in Whiteland (I-65 exit 95). It's usually nice and quiet... especially compared to Indy.

BTW... I got woken up by their stupid shower announcements too. Who in the hell wants to hear that out in the parking lot???

WELCOME TO INDIANA!
Indy is generally OK, you might want to consider moving a LITTLE North up on 69 - that way you would be closer to Fort Wayne than the others as we tend to have traffic in and out of here at a some what decent pace.
Good luck!

I prefer to go to Whiteland when I'm in the Indy area. It's a lot quieter there and not nearly as busy. It seems a lot cleaner too.
Freight has been a lot slower out of that area lately though. At least for us.
