    I used it the other night when I was making a late delivery in Golden CO.
    All the truck stops in Denver fill up so quickly, I knew there would be nothing left by the time I got there.
    It would be too expensive to use it very often, but it sure was nice to have a spot waiting for me.

    I only used it once and that was earlier this month in Ontario West... I did a repower there and this was the first night of the Inspection blitz. I went to the shop to get two bad trailer tires changed but they were slammed so they told me they would call when they had a bay for me but expect it to be midnight or so. . I went in and reserved a spot because In didn't want to be looking for a spot at 2am or so and would not have been able to drive anywhere else because of HOS.

    More comfortable bed that thousands have slept, and done other things, in...

    and sometimes they change the sheets.

    Get a book called "The ultimate truck parking guide".

    Gives you lots of out of the way places to park and some tips if there restaurants available. Its well worth the money.

    I have the pocket truck stop guide book I paid like $6 for which I use, I also have Dat trucker app which shows me stuff too

    the comment about the bed, my truck is a 2009 and I have no idea who and what has been on this mattress either....
    getting another truck this week and hope for a newer one, I might invest in buying my own mattress soon though, saw a mattress I would love to have but its $2,000 for a twin, dormeo octaspring I think its called.
