    Lol.
    I was in TX unloading 4 pallets one night after a multi stop load . I went back in , and the guy said 280 bucks .
    I started laughing and said no really how much is it.
    He said 280 again..... I then proceeded to ask if they washed it out and fueled it up too.
    he didnt think that was funny.

    I'm at the TA in Livingston, CA. Parked in my reserved spot. There's 3 left so I wasn't the only one who planned ahead. :)

    i use the reserve spots anytime i feel the need
    but hardly ever up on 99

    most places up in Stockton and Modesto you can find street parking
    but i would rather pay for a spot then get blocked in like up in Ripon
