For fun I happened to have checked North Bend TA to see if the app was correct with availability. I knew there's never jack available there on a Sunday night. It's a zoo. The App was accurate. Shows available spots in Spokane. So it's good. I go to WA often.

Ok PFJ app doesn't look like it reserves parking for you. No biggie.
-
No, the app does not. But they say they will be rolling out a new and improved system soon but I have a feeling it won't be app driven or app friendly knowing PFJ the way I think I do. For PFJ currently, best and fastest is to use a desktop browser and reserve online (Helps to create a user account which has nothing to do with your PFJ rewards card/account you may have), second best bet is to call their 800 number and stay on hold about 5 minutes

Data hog advisory:
I noticed the current Pilot app (iOS), when selecting "Reserve" on a truck stop, will take you to your browser and to an initial page, that you may scroll down to click to begin your odyssey search.
This second page will pull down EVERY PFJ location in the nation along with it's png image and availability. This download is huge and slow even on a fast connection. You then have to filter or scroll endlessly to find the one you wanted earlier in the app. Again I say, those PFJ app and web site developers are absolute idiots. Lord help you if you need to scroll down to the Wyoming locations.
You're almost better off to stay in the hold cue 9 minutes to reserve on the phone.Rocks Thanks this. -
Update: I have been using the TA app and it is awesome. If it’s a weekend and I cannot shutdown until late, no worries. It’s saved my ### in Chicago/Gary last weekend and tonight in St. Louis. No worries about if a lot is full.

Which truck stop did you use?
-
The Gary Petro. On Saturday day night. You may be right that I could’ve found a free spot. But when I reserved it I was 3 states away, not familiar with Gary and no way of knowing. So why not just reserve it? Less stress!
HalpinUout Thanks this. -
By the way since u know Gary Indiana Petro.. that “Balkan Grill” restaurant in a shipping container was whack.
