    Muskogee Pilot put in reserved parking two days ago. The only good thing about it is the yaahoos won't be blocking the entrance, backing in, as often as they used to.

    Noticed the J in Winnemucca had it this morning too and not one of them had a truck in the spot. Guys parked on the curb or next to the scale instead

    You are confusing the TA in Rogers, Mn north of the cities on 94 and the Flying J at exit 10 on 94 in Roberts, WI. There is also a TA at exit 4 in Hudson, Wi

    if you park in a reserved spot without paying, you will be paying a huge tow bill and probably need bail money too...

    TA in Columbia, SC has it. Not sure why someone would pay to park there though, the place is a dump and they are in the process of renovating the building and replacing the fuel tanks.

    I'm currently at the Pilot off of I-95/Ruffin Mill Road in Colonial Heights,Virginia. 10 spots that used to be free aren't free anymore. And not a single one of those is occupied. The drivers here would rather park in one of the closed down fuel lanes at the fuel island than pay for one of those spots. And even then there's at least 3-4 spots available. Seriously, this $#!+ is getting out of hand, where does it end?

    They should charge for the parking spots at the Pilot in Troutville, VA.

    If it's been a long day and the lot is full I would pay for a spot in a second. 12 bucks so what... I'll get my shower make my meal and be comfortable. If they make it so everybody has to pay , 5 bucks a night would be reasonable. Or they wave the fee if you fuel there or spend money in the store. Some spots already do this. I can't blame the owners to charge. Drivers manage to somehow destroy the lot everywhere you go. Backing into light poles, crashing into the fuel pumps, ripping hoses off the fuel pumps throwing garbage all over their lot. I was just at a stop the other day. Brand new place the paint has barely had a chance to dry yet in the lot and a driver from a mega managed to drive off the scale, tried to correct, crashed into the speaker for the scale totally destroying it. And continued on dragging the busted post and speaker through the lot

    Yeah you'd be an idiot to pay in Winslow when you have that big rest area 20 miles away, a casino 35 miles away, and several other truck stops east of there. Plus the Wal-Mart in Winslow
