We have also parked in the OTR section at truck stops, but ONLY under certain conditions. If the overnight parking area is already quite full, we don't stop -- truckers need that space more. If there is ample room but still early, we'll try to get into a spot that would be much more difficult for the truckers to get. I'm always reminded of a line from a song, "Give Me 40 Acres And I'll Turn This Rig Around". If we get there at an hour when truckers are starting to wake up and leave, then I'll accept an open spot amongst the truckers...BUT, I always keep parking lights on!! Too easy to get lost in the shadows. And finally, if there's any chance possible, we'll take a spot that truckers can't even fit into.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
