I would guess that you paying for parking in itself doesn’t bother anyone
I think the real issue comes down to when more and more just pay up to park then it will be the norm at all Truckstops and every night
Sorta like the guy who take cheap freak guy to cover fuel
It all adds up
$15 x 30 is $459
Parking where most live is another monthly fee
I’ve posted it several times that if I buy most of my fuel at X brand then I feel I’m their customer and should get parking and a shower
If I buy zero fuel from Y company then I’m good with paying to park as I’m not their customerBigTizle Thanks this. -

I only paid for parking 3 times ever long ago,,The Detroiter? TA Nashville and the truck stop in New Orleans….I forget why the Detroiter but Nashville and New Orleans were for having a big ol’ time Back then it was not difficult to find parking provided you could steer your unit in reverse,,,,somewhat of a lost art as I see in many videos today
BigTizle and homeskillet Thank this. -

I never really understood why people get all pissy over drivers who pay for parking. The vast majority of truck stops that have reserved parking only have a handful of spots that are reserved, and most are free. So why give a crap if some people are willing to pay? Do these same people get mad at a driver in a restaurant eating a steak when they can only afford a bowl of soup?
navypoppop, tarmadilo and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
Now I normally don't pay for parking. Unless I know I will be driving late and won't get a spot. Probably once every two months. -
