The Old Man's career dries up, Snackbar transfers to Crete from Shaffer

Been hoping they would show up for the last 15 years.

 

as much as people think that autonomous vehicles are coming in full force. They still have a ways to go to perfect that technology for them to make any kind of significant debt in either the trucking or the regular cars

 

Perhaps seven years ago, I was at the little Pilot at I-88 where it meets the Thruway. The manager was out there mid afternoon adding two Prime Parking spots. Several of us argued with her as to the ethics involved in those slots suddenly becoming paid slots while occupied. She shrugged her shoulders and said it wasn’t her call.

Asking me if I miss truck stops is like asking a dental patient if they miss that abscessed molar that was just removed from their mouth.

 

Part of me sort of like paid spots. Only because it nearly guarantees I have a spot somewhere around 6pm or later

 

Sometimes a paid spot is still not a sure thing or guarantee. How many times do you hear of a driver arriving at a truck stop and all paid spots are taken and the personnel will not approach any truck to enforce who has paid or not. I don't blame them either as you don't want some clown going "postal" on you.

 

Lately it seems that most paid spots are taken by drivers that don’t pay and nothing ever comes of it.

 

Don you run recaps or do you like to take 34’s?

 

All recaps unless situation results in a 34…
