    RickG its probably less than 10% that trashes parking lots. Its always a small group that makes things difficult for us who at least try. I've stayed at T/S's the local PD patrols every hour or so and didn't see any lot lizards. The local PD didn't bother the Drivers unless they were doing something stupid.

    I never paid to park. if there was a sign that said pay to park i went else where, i would find the closest mom and pop store with lots of room and ask to park out of the road.

    LMAO...you never went to the TA in Lafayette, LA during prime Lizard season. Cops running all over the lot chasing girls under, around, and behind trailers.

    It's much better now, thanks to their efforts.

    I don't park at any of these places. Only time I stop in is to use the restroom or get something to drink and stay within the free two hour limit. It's not my truck therefore I'm not be responsible to pay to park it out of my own pocket.
