    Staying in the back row of the Petro TS, Bucksville AL exit 100 off I-20/59. There has been a security guard on a golf cart driving all over the parking area all night, with spotlights, looking between the trucks, generally doing what a security guard is supposed to do. There are spots still available at 01:00, and apparently he is preventing trucks from parking in areas not intended(outside the lined areas).
    No trash, trucker bombs, etc anywhere. I hope the trend continues. I wonder if he is armed.

    Maybe he's looking for the golf ball that he didn't hit good on the 8th T shot. He'll take a mulligan but he still would like to find it. That's like $3

    Pulled out of Petro Shop in Amarillo at 1am after getting tire changed the other night.

    I was tired, had been asleep, there were trucks everywhere at the end of the first row, 4 deep at the edge of the fuel island, along the perimeter, only one reserved spot open.
    Thought I was out of luck, drove slowly around to second row and there was a dozen spots open.

    The amount of lazy drivers out here is astounding and it's not all megas.

    I stopped at Carney's point last week and by the looks of the front of the parking lot at the J....I knew I was s#!t outta luck. Drove around the back hoping to find a parking spot and the whole back lot was wide open! And also the T/A at the 63 in Greer actually had a real live security guard walking the rows. I was shocked. I thought they all just stood next to the fuel desk.

    The lesson here seems to be that lazy ### parks right up side everyone else in undesignated parking. Prowl the back and you'll find 20 open spots.

    @STexan - I'm too young to avidly golf, but that got me a bit harder than it should have. Lol. Imagine being a golf ball finder / washer in Florida?.... I think I'd just let the gators have it.

    2 zip ties, a sharpie, a big piece of cardboard & a grill to affix it to..... I like to F with my coworkers.... But it would be just as fitting for the guy you just described.
