    By the way. If you did not notice i said it would be a "Truck Stop" , not a travel plaza. Bringing back what they were initially intended for "Truckers".

    I will come to your truck stop, occupy a space overnight. Spend $0 in your store or restaurant and leave my garbage (in the garbage), maybe have a dump and then leave. I might buy a pint of milk in the morning if I feel like having cereal for breakfast (in my truck).

    You cool with that?

    If you say you are going to let certain customers patronize your business... I just might put my politically correct hat on that day and say "I won't patronize any business that doesn't allow [insert minority group here]". In reality I'd probably like it (lol). Playing devils advocate here.

    That’s crap. I plan every single day, frequently down to within 10 minutes or less. And you know what? 90 times out of a 100 the plan comes together exactly. Sometimes that plan leads to a truck stop I know is going to be generally full by dark. And reserved parking allows this plan to be possible.

    Besides. If plans fail so frequently that only bolsters the appeal of having an emergency option of pay to park. But otherwise, reserved parking only helps more plans come together successfully. You’re argument makes no sense
