Why pay for reserved parking when truck stops will let anybody park there for free!?!

We have a driver that decided to park in a reserved spot without paying, out at a truck stop in NV few weeks back.

Driver wasn't answering calls the following day.

Eventually found the driver when we called the local police dept. to do a welfare check. He was in their cell.

 

All to save $15.00!!!! LOL

 

when I spend 2000 to 2500 a week just in fuel,I paid my parking already.what other business charges customers to park? NONE!!! then I'm gonna spend 50 a day eating their junk food and then you want me to pay 15/17 dollars to park? yeah right.any driver who thinks its ok......you're part of what's wrong with trucking.

 

It's their property, they can charge what they want.
Other businesses that charge people to park:
Hotels
Sports stadiums
Downtown parking garages
Valet parking

 

There are lotsa paid parking besides truckstops.

 

One post wonder….

 

You choose where you fuel, but that does not let you park in reserved spots that people have paid for.
And you don't have to pay 50 bucks a day for junk food at a truck stop. There are better ways if you are smart enough to figure that out.

Your whole entitled attitude is a large part of the problem.

 

I hit the j at Summerville SC sat night with 2 nights reserved and all the reserved spots full , management ran off the free loaders real quik .
I reserve alot at the j in Vandalia Ohio and if you are an idiot the cops come next and after 1 warning they have your truck towed .

 

I had to reserve a spot a few weeks back and of course all full. I go in and they happen to have a security guard on duty so that worked out. Dude in the truck who was parked got all pissy. I kind of laughed and figure if you are that stupid you deserve to get caught up. I just don't understand why people do that. Just go in and pay the money or find somewhere else to park.
