Reserve it truck parking at T/A

To keep it simple, $$$.

It's like the truck stops that have ya pay or fuel if ya want to stay overnight.
Trucks are going to stop at those places regardless..

 

Ever been to a truck stop where it looked or smelled like the drivers cared about the truck stop? I haven't.

 

I don't blame them. Most drivers' idea of a pretrip is to get on the CB and ask for a radio check as they dump their pee bottles out the driver window easing out of their parking spot.

 

If a truck stop can fill a demand for available spaces in an area where parking is scarce, what is wrong with them charging for it? It is your choice to actually park there. If you don't like it, find someplace else. If enough drivers do the same, they will either charge less or stop charging entirely. Economics 101.

 

How long you been driving truck?

 

Oh come on 'Five-O" ! Stop being practical and making good arguments! No room for common sense on this forum! Problem is finding somewhere else to park these days.

 

I have been there too, all there saying is do business here, you can park here, if not park somewhere else. That's fair, it's their property!

 

Might work if there was enough available parking. Those that charge know you ain't got another good choice. To much traffic to ban together to make a difference. You choose to park there? They don't care if you do or don't. Hell there are a 100 trucks right behind you that will. Your lone dollar vote makes no difference. One thing thats known about drivers. If you don't like it 1000's other will defend it to death. Plenty drivers who have money to spare love reserved parking.
