Yeah, the terminology is kind of funny, I remember working with someone a long time ago when driving truck that was an owner operator for a long time, running cross country reefer units. He mentioned that one and pickle parks, was kind of funny. We owned 2 tractors at one time and had 1 driver whom I made a few long distance trips with to make better time, I distinctly remember the lot lizards in a few places and remember seeing the same ones within reasonable distance of the first place I saw them when passsing through on the reutrn trip, they kind of bounce around, nasty business, you'd have to be a genuine fool to even think of it, just imagine what you will be going to the doctor for after. It sure is a different world out on that highway, I never liked the fact that when you pull over to rest, the only thing between you and any bad guys is the thin aluminum skin on the sleeper, anyone could spray a few rounds into one while you're out cold. Some odd things I can remember, like the truck left running on the side of the NJ turnpike, for a day or 2, when they checked it out, several million in cash was found.
