Well folks just done my first week in a bulk tipper following another truck, training but loaded. All gone well so I’m out on my own on Monday. First destination is Preston to Alloa, then from there to New ■■■■■■■■ from there to Avonmouth Dock but due to driving hours I’m thinking I will be in Barrow in Furness for the overnight stop unless you can work it out better! Just thinking of a place to stop any help welcome.
Barrow In Furness■■? I’m confused as to why you would park there for the night. You don’t go anywhere near it en route from New ■■■■■■■ to Avonmouth.
Why would you be anywhere near Barrow mate,you could probably make Carnforth,failing that Tebay
near enough back to longridge on a 10hr !
I didn’t actually mean Barrow in Furness, roughly because I am following M6. Just looking at a rough map of the M6. I understand it’s miles to the right. I wouldn’t go over there I didn’t word it correctly. So hopefully maybe back in Preston or Carnforth like you say. Thanks chaps as you know I am a newby.
Also plenty of key fuels but not to many for class c/e any of you chaps now any on the m6 just to save me research 
M6 J42,Tebay,Carnforth,Crooklands
If you come down again,free parking around Third Way Avonmouth or pay for Avon Lodge truck stop.Clean showers.Good food and a bar.
If you see the road to Davies Turner and Renault truck garage,many stop there.
Security patrol all night.
If you walk in to Avonmouth Village,numerous take away outlets and a family pub with hot meals opposite the cop shop.
Over the train tracks,there is a contractors hotel that has happy hours,and can get a good crowd in there mid week.
Indian restaurant/take away opposite the hotel and a Chinese down the side street.
By the hotel there is parking for a few artics.
If Googlemap train station,you can see where it is.Some mention Portbury is decent to park up,but not sure where?
Barrow in Furness is a fair way from the M6, some nasty hills too if you’re fully loaded. On the M6 you have Tebay and Truck Haven and Lancaster services a bit further down. I did try and stop in that Truck Haven once but it looked as if you had to get a ticket to go in, I didnt bother and turned around.
Yer Truckhaven, you get a ticket as you go in and I think its 30mins free but to get out you have to take the ticket to reception (I didn’t know and had to reverse off the out barrier 
) to have it activated to let you out.

Don’t be put off by that fella. Most places I go to are ticketed-if you don’t try it , you’ll never know!
It does not matter if it is ticketed as you get a few hours free.Some places offer incentives to get reduced parking fees or free parking if you buy so many litres of fuel or stuff in the shop.

there are quite a few key fuel sites on the the m6 or just off it but if you have a smart/i phone there is a key fuels app its come in handy for me a few times
