    Well it's a b*** to get to and the only reserved spot open was between too long nose wide loads. What I have come to love about the Volvo is as small as it is it turns on a dime and does a 90% back with ease and plenty of room to swing the nose in. Got it in in a single back while other trucks passed by foarming at my parking spot. If I wasn't on a safe have I could have turned it for at least $100.00

    Yes because I had a 11.99 reserved spot tonight. The TA at I77 and I81 in VA will be it tomorrow night.

    If I want to sleep. I should be able to get in tomorrow night without any reservations or make one and sell it. This time of night you have to do what you can. One thing though every time I reserve a spot it's a different price. From tonight 11.99 up to 16.00. I was told it was based upon what time you called to reserve.

    That TA is far from my favorite, but it actually has an amazing view of the Delaware water gap within walking distance. There's a chart inside that tells you how to walk to it.

    There are so many truckstops in the Wytheville VA area that there should never be a need to buy a parking spot. Besides that TA, there are two J's, two Kangaroos, a Loves, and a Wilco/Hess. Plus the independent up at x101.

    Plus, on those pay spots I'm pretty sure you have to give them a tag number and the color/type of truck. I'm pretty sure they do that to prevent ######## from subletting the spots.

    You don't give tag, but truck number and company. And they are non transferable
