    J in Emporia behind the building. Not sure if it's the whole row or...

    That place was a shhole before.
    They also put a Crappy fence up where some used to park in the dirt.

    That's not a fair statement. Paying to park is not mandatory. I park for free 95 times out of a 100. How is it there is all this paid parking around, and you will not pay ... how do you manage to park??? ... That's my point.

    Those truck stops east of Columbus are jam packed usually every night during the week. I shut down regularly in that area and it can be a real problem.

    But the reserved fee comes off the requirement for spending money for re gular parking

    well I just broke down and reserved my spot at a flying J. Got a 4pm live load in Newark taking its sweet time and I don't want to drive all night and end up on a ramp. $15 for this particular J, which to me is worth it because I know it turns into a real #### show after 5pm.

    I am just waiting to hear about the first time someone reserves a spot in an area with limited parking, then shows up to find the lot full. And no reserved spot.
    Then what ya gonna do???

    Just used it last night in des moines pilot. First time I ever reserved a spot. Did it all online in a few minutes. Have to say im liking it. Probably the best sleep ive gotten yet. Didnt have to worry about anyone backing into me since it was the last spot. What I dont get is that there was a bobtail in one spot. Really? In des moines? Alot of spots there you can easily park a bobtail but oh well. Atleast I got mine. Sorry for the next guy.
