thoughts on parking

yep, youre right . it is so easy to do the right thing, it takes much more effort to be a hole

 

dang it man, its apparent you never had a class in logic and analytical analysis

 

Yeah but if someone is too cheap to pay for the last parking spot in the lot, then I'm, guessing that fella is not eating in the restaraunt.

 

I generally try to avoid places that fill up unless I'm getting there in the early afternoon or morning.

I've gotten the tax-deductible spaces before though. Like at TA-Florence, KY. I figured I'd burn up $12 in fuel and time hovering the parking lot or going looking for a spot.

 

Similar to the Way Mart truck stop crowd...why does anyone owe you a place to park on private property?

 

^^^^ What he said. Pulled an OD load out of Mississippi this week. Was routed up i59, us45 to Tennessee, to 45alt, us70,i40, TN840, i40,i640,i40,i81. I had planned to stop at the Petro in Knoxville, but I got out a bit later than planned. Checked my times in route and had a problem. I could stop before 840 at the Hook, or one of the other truckstops an hour and a half early (which may have put me in jeopardy of not being able to make a Friday delivery) OR hammer down and get to Lebanon Tennessee a minute or so after curfew. I decided to hammer towards Lebanon.

Sun's going down, time is against you...you have 1 shot to get parked...do you try the Peelot or bypass the Peelot and go straight to Uncle Pete's? What are the odds of finding a spot for a 12'6 wide in a Peelot after dark? Not too good.

I went into Uncle Pete's, found plenty of parking ( it didn't fill up til almost midnight), went inside and ate at the restaurant, even had a cute waitress with a nice economy size swing on the back porch.

 

uncle petes is the real deal. the country ham breakfast with the sliced fried potatoes , biscuit and gravy, sliced tomatoes, eggs, and grits is the worlds best.

 

If I couldn't park at Walmarts I think I would give up trucking.

 

I do like them Walmarts, but I usually ask the first time at that store. Some times their just as bad a truck stop, fill up early and too many litterbugs.

 

The man is talking food! Real food! Not that rubbery stuff they serve at Denny's.

I asked the waitress there, " You ever hear the saying that men are dogs?" She said, "Yes, they are dogs." I said, "Feed me, pet me and tell me how good I am."
