100% paid bobtail parking at flying j. Lebanon, Indiana

even Schneider pays back for parking.

 

The last two times I reserved parking at a pilot or flyingJ amd arrived late, to find all the spots full. I went into the counter and the manager told me they don’t enforce it anymore due to liability and that I was welcome to go out there and knock on doors if I wanted to do it myself with people who didn’t have their receipts displayed. Yeah that’s a hard pass. so it’s a waste of time anyhow, reserving parking. They don’t enforce it at most of these flying J’s and pilots anymore. Meaning you arrive at 11 PM or midnight or whenever thinking you’ve got your spot and you don’t. Then you’re in an even bigger mess.

 

Did they refund your money and do anything to help your parking situation?

 

If they're not going to enforce parking then might as well just park in the fuel Island. Make it their problem.

 

some flying J’a do enforce it, but some of them are moving away from it so it really makes you ask a very simple question, why would anyone pay for parking to be reserved? The whole purpose of doing it guaranteeing you have a spot when you stop late and you’re out of hours.

 

It's the driver's own fault for doing something against the rules. If they're too afraid to confront the driver maybe they should call the tow truck or the police.

 

During and shortly after the WooHan Red Death crisis, I noticed that there were only 2 or 3 people in the store. I says to myself, "There's no way they have the staff to police the paid parking." So, I took advantage of it. If there was free parking available, I took it. If there wasn't, I went to the pay side. Never once got questioned.
And here's a pro tip: if you walk in the store and there's like 2 people acting like cats trying to cover up poop on the sidewalk.......park wherever you like.
