Parking reservation system at Pilot/Flying J?

This thread is about pay to park reservation, maybe some confusion

 

The big chains are incredibly greedy and so many morons feed into it.

T/A and petro had many entire pay lots that are no longer because they were going broke. They still have some in places like west Memphis ar and jessup MD because they can get away with it.

Now the past couple of years they started this reserved ######## and I see morons paying $15 a night with free spots all around because their lazy ##### don't want to walk across a lot to eat after they sat on their ### all day

Now pilot / flying j are getting into the act. Congratulations for over paying for everything and letting them fill our every orafice

They are greedy but that is their business.If the drivers wouldn't trash the lots with garbage and filth they probably would be more forgiving. Ripping hoses off fuel pumps, crashing into fuel pumps, backing into light poles, damaging barriers, running over their grass and tearing it up the list goes on and on.That's just the lot forget about the men's room they need to hire a full time plumber in those places.

 

I don't have an issue to pay to park. If I owned a truck stop, I'd charge for parking. The way drivers are so inconsiderate, lazy and filthy.....no way would I be cool for my business to look and smell like a landfill. I've only had to use the reserve parking a couple times but didn't mind it at all. Like said before, it is a tax write off and not that big a deal.

No matter what, many truckers are going to complain and come up with some conspiracy theory on how the world it out to screw them over. Or others are going to continue to want something for free. "rich get richer" attitude. Well maybe the rich got rich for not being a lazy, whining, complainer. No doubt truck stops are over priced. Majority of the employees are jerks But if I had to deal with some of these drivers day in, day out....yeah, I'd be prejudiced against them too. So many rude, inconsiderate drivers out here today...it's pathetic....

 

I like it. Majority of these company drivers park crooked and sideways and take two parking spots cause they're lazy to straighten out. I can afford $15 to park at anytime without being mad at Swift for parking on two spots at 2 am. Kind of like it due to the fact so many can't or don't want to afford $14/$15.. Allows me a safe spot.

 

I've used it twice and that was because I knew no free spots would be available when I got there. TA in Livingston, CA because of an 8pm unload at WinCo in Modesto and the TA in Troutville, OR because that place is packed at noon on a Sunday.

 

Nope no mistake, you asked about my career I replied, it goes back to 79, is i answered, you must have thought I been at this 2 or 3 years

 

Lol, this shows... Obviously your old that's why I said that... Reserved parking just came over the past couple years....

 

I just noticed Flying J was doing parking reservations when I was out west last week. I was wondering if it was free, cost money, or points. I always liked Pilot/FJ because they didn't have half the parking lot on reserve like Petro. Soon all the spaces will be pay only.
