I forgot that we also had to fill out a paper where those of us that take a truck home as to where we are going to park it. I called the Flying J in Elk Run and they said only for 24 hrs can park there. The Road Ranger across the road, sort of. They only allow for 24 hrs. Flying J did say that you can reserve a spot for $12 a day. Forget that. One of my classmates has permission from one of the Hy-Vee's in our area to park there behind the building free of charge. So I gave them call to get permission for myself as well. So hopefully not too many drivers do this already and I should be able to park there on my days off.
I did call both Walmart's. Waterloo said 24 hours. Cedar Falls said no and that they kick them off the property. Reason why was given? Because some of these truckers dump their garbage and cigarette buds on the ground. So a few ruined it for all of us. And one of the West Side Personnel has to approve it before we do. Evidently we cannot park at our home even if we have the room. At least we get to bring it close to home then perhaps of having to back track to the house after dropping off the equipment.
The end.
