    And yes, this is bike related (and thus belongs in this forum).

    It needs to be somewhere an 18 wheeler can stop and unload something, to clarify. Supermarket parking lot, etc that it can get to. Please, gotta know soon

    well if you live in newton... drive around looking for big parking lots and semi trucks.

    i'm assuming you are looking to buy a bike and have it shipped.

    Correct, already found the bike, check is going in the mail in the next day or two. I need to set up the shipping by Monday so I'm kind of under time pressure.

    Google Earth is your friend! Search for Waban, MA...I see a couple of spots right off Beacon St near a deli and some tennis courts.

    Or just ride it out the back of the trailer at full throttle while he's driving down the pike, top speed into oncoming traffic, just like Tom Cruise would do.

    Yeah, I wasn't sure if 18 wheelers could even get on beacon street. If they could that'd make things much easier.

    Why not the rest area/truck stop on I95 south/128 (which ever you wish to call it) Its right at the mass pike, he would just have to get on southbound bound from the pike and pull right in.. plenty of space depending on the time..

    That's actually the one spot I just found and was thinking of. Pretty close to my house, seems like it would work pretty well.

    How do you intend to get the bike off the truck? If it doesn't have a liftgate you'll need a ramp or a loading lock. If it palletized you'll need a pallet jack (truck may have one) and a forklift.

    Planning on using Motorcycle shipping, motorcycle transport, motorcycle transportation, motorcycle shippers, their trucks have liftgates and the drivers do the loading/unloading.

    comm ave (rt 30) starmarket parking lot auburndale square at the intersection of lexington st at rt 30. no big enough parking lots in the waban area. Or the closest would be at beacon & washington st. go westbound on wash, past rt 95 & the 1st right is an office building with a big enough parking lot for an 18 wheeler. maybe woodland countryclub parking lot on washington st? thats close also to waban.
