    Hello Everyone,

    Once BP purchased the TA/Petro Truckstop chain they have installed parking gates at several locations.. Atlanta Ga and New Paris OH are ones I've seen so far.. Perpetual parking cost increases coming to a location near you? Funny how they haven't raised their employees pay though..

    While i dont object to paid parking in and of its self especially considering ehat kinda pigs many drivers are. The fact trash accumulators which are some of the trashiest truckstops in the country usually are demanding payment for a ####, garbage and nail filled moonscape and sub par falling apart stores...well it feels like an insult imo.....

    I used to hit Wheat Ridge for fuel (got a good discount) coming back from the mountains. It's gotten so bad I quit stopping there completely. I'll drive all the way across town rather than hit that hole.
