Parking for multiple days at a truck stop in a free spot not reserved for any reason shows a lack of courtesy to others. It falls under the same category as dropping a trailer or leaving your truck at the pump and proceeding to go inside to do number 2. Show courtesy to your fellow truck drivers I try my best too.

I spend anywhere 3 to 4 thousand a month of my own cash on fuel at these truck stops and if I need to park a few days I will. That said I usually park out of the metro areas where to traffic in the stops that are lighter in traffic. There is usually paid spots open a lot of times, so spend some coin or points and get one, I do when need be. When you own the place then complain. Myself as a O/O I have no terminal except at my home. Go after the mega carrier guys that sit at the pump for their break or showers when there is parking are a problem. Too lazy to walk a few yards.

Speaking of permanent fixtures at truck stops, imagine all of the parking spaces opened up in the Northeast, if they scrapped all the broken down trailers that are taking up space at TS and shippers/ receivers. I could never figure out why they hang on to the rusting hulks.
