    I am semi-retired but when I do run I fuel at TA/Petro exclusively and still have to pay to park if no free spots are available and that is a bitter pill to swallow.

    The Truck Stops have capitalized on the fact that with the ELD's that we often dont have the option to push on to a free parking TS and really have no choice but to pay. Kind of like extortion if you ask me.

    I don’t care if they make the sports close to the building reserved. I rarely pay for parking. What eats me up is when they make all of the “easy” backs reserved. Took me 45mins to get parked once but I was closer to the building then half the reserved spots.

    I could fuel exclusively at ta/Petro and never come close to reaching platinum.

    Exactly. Sometimes I catch it before posting but most times I don't.
