I am doing a 34 at the Robinson, TX Pilot. Leaves about 25 miles to delivery. I think I've used reserved parking maybe 4 times in all of 2020. I always used points to pay for it though.

Yea i use points when i have enough. But the wife an i used around 300 to 400 in points between us at Christmas to help spoil the grandkids. So we're rebuilding now. I just think when ya pay cash it should be reimbursed as a cost of doing business. I don't use paid parking unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't even agree with the idea that there is paid parking. Someone here while back in a review said quit complaining about paid parking,that those complaining didn't understand capitalism. Well capitalism was alive an well when i started driving in 94 and as i remember most all parking was free back then.

Right....whoever said that to you is an idiot. Talking like capitalism hasn't been going in since forever. Paid parking only gained steam because of the ELD Mandate. They saw an opportunity to take advantage of drivers who just HAVE TO sleep at truck stops, the corporate ones at that. A lady at Pilot claims that the drivers were all for paid parking. I don't necessarily have a problem with Climate not reimbursing us, well me, because I so rarely use it, and I personally dont think it's that difficult to find somewhere to sleep, my black ### will sleep pretty much anywhere when I get that sleepy lol.dwells40 and Lumper Humper Thank this.

You're a riot dude. Anyway yea i always exhaust free options 1st. I'm just saying, it seems the way the pilots an t/a keep increasing the # of paid spots vs free spots it seems like one day they'll turn into 100% paid. Loves don't charge. But once the majority of truck stop parking becomes paid then all companies should have to reimburse for it. That cost shouldn't fall on the driver. We always park at a customer but that's not always possible. And if you're goin anywhere on the east coast or near any major cities free parking is scarce late at night. Not everyone can be done early in the day when it's easy to find parking. All just my opinion.Lumper Humper Thanks this.

I wish i woulda stopped an chewed the fat with ya at craftsmen the other day. Heck i had the time. Imho you're good people dude.Lumper Humper Thanks this.

You're right about that, the thing with Climate is that so many runs are so predictable in which I've came up with hideouts here and there. The east coast does get challenging though. Maybe Climate is scared drivers will abuse it, like on weekends or somethingLumper Humper Thanks this.

Right back at you brother I had no idea you had pulled in, I had got up not too long before then, my wife called, and, "I'm like who's this creepin towards me?" Then I saw you and I'm like, it's Professor! LolProfessor No-Name and Lumper Humper Thank this.
