    I've never seen a boot for a semi..... I figured it was either move or get towed?

    You sir are either out of your mind or go to sleep when sun goes down. Finding parking at 12am is not an easy task, especially in a busy area

    Ah there are shipping times that out you at a truck stop late, not everyone can be a daytime driver. Yes you can pay to reserve and I do, I'm also careful about which Walmart I Park at.

    Many of us plan, but we sometimes plan to avoid the truckstop because of the hour of arrival.

    Just another business that hates trks.You see signs and can't read them from your trk you walk over there and see what the sign says and take them serious could have saved you a huge fine.If no signs are posted it's best to ask the manager if you could park there.

    Nope, not out of my mind....
    And yes, I truck daylight hours.. Even when I need to be for early drops.. I like my lowboy freight.. Done the reefer and box thing...
    Still even then I found a parking spot and never so far got towed ticketed or booted......

    If you are planning correctly reserve a spot when you know it's gonna be late.

    Why should Hobby Lobby provide you with a parking spot? Did you spend any money at this store?
    Metro area's are notorious for passing ordinances to prohibit any truck parking anywhere other than shipper/receiver property. And some have even passed laws to try to stop that.
    Welcome to modern trucking. You are to appear at the appointed time, out of a clear blur sky, and then dissappear when done.

    Isn't Hobby Lobby closed on Sunday? You would think that would be the one day of the week to open up their lots to big trucks to allow them to have the day off, then Hobby Lobby could provide church buses to round up all the lost little trucker sheep for services.
