Reserved Parking

back in the day no respectable human being shoveled his trash out along the parking lot
not just the new truckers
the world has all gone wrong in one generation
i never suffered from a good spanking
now if i gave one out i would be in jail for child abuse
i wanted to slap the driver that left his truck on the scale to go get his ticket too
he would of hated being knocked over by a 60 year old

 

I would of used it in some spots if needed. I was lucky in the fact that pretty much every place that was impossible to find parking at night I could park at a shipper/receiver I knew. Now I only sleep in hotels so it doesn't matter, but I'd use it as a last resort.

 

From TA's website:
Some TA locations offer Preferred Parking.

At Preferred Parking sites, you will receive 24 hours of FREE parking for every 50 gallons of fuel purchased, up to a maximum of 72 hours of parking (3 days), at a single location.

Additionally, you receive up to 24 hours of FREE parking when you spend a minimum of $20 in the store, restaurant or service area at the Preferred Parking location.

Without a minimum purchase, the first two hours or parking are free; thereafter, there is a daily parking fee.

UltraONE Platinum Members receive 24 hours of FREE parking per month at participating Preferred Parking sites. Certificates can be printed at the kiosk.

 

Preferred parking and reserved parking are two different things

 

That's went I thought to

I am by no means condoning throwing your trash out in the parking lot. But I also see a lot places that need more trash receptacles. Just like the place I am at tonight.

 

It's a nice option that's saved my butt when I've been running low on minutes before I was out of hours, and that time of day when just about every spot and other option are no longer available.

We get reimbursed for it as well.

 

I wish I could say you were wrong. I guess I was brought up. If you use a service you should pay something. When around home/on trips in POV and I need to use bathroom. I always buy something. (even if overpriced) There is a Super America by MN international airport. I like to park there waiting for person to come in. If I don't need fuel, (ok have room for any) I at least buy a ice cream treat after using bathroom. (parking) And I am cheap.
Leave places as you found them (or better)
I remember free showers (With large enough fill) or at least half price. It was a dang nice place. (sad to say I don't recall where, Western edge of NY state IIRC... Nice clean bathroom (stool, shower, sink/mirror, towels, and when done you hand in key (it did have inside manual lock) and they went in with strong smelling cleaning stuff. (I still used sandels but it was clean)

 

I don't get re-imbursed , as I'm an OO , but as I said earlier , I'll pay to have a spot. I'm on electronic logs , so when my day is up , it's up . Thank goodness I have a choice , that's what's important .
I'll take a TA/Petro over most all else , anytime. No door knockers , safe, clean , again, for the most part.

 

Right. How hard is it for you to spend $20.00 in a TS ?
