Naw. Just stopped by to check out the Gateway Arch at St. Louis MO on the way to OKC. I've been by several times, but I've always figured there was no truck parking. Hey, guess what?
There isn't. The garage I parked at made me nervous about the FX4 clearing, much less a semi.
No freaking way.
I also chickened out and didn't ride up - I'm about three quarters claustrophobic and one hundred percent acrophobic. I'd heard about how the observation platform tended to move in the wind.
Not this fat boy, nossir.

I stopped at the Arch a few years ago on a cross country drive. I could not go up either, same reasons. It is beautiful too.
I have never been, was great to see your post! Might be the closest I ever get to it ;-)
I never lived in St Louis but I was born there during WWII and felt I had to take the ride up. Glad I did but I worried more than a little on the way up about a weld popping loose or some similar malfunction that would strand me in that little elevator like car for hours or days while they tried to figure out how to get us down.
Cool!
