Do you agree with reserved truck stop parking?

Lol

 

That's ridiculous. What does your mortgage have to do with the cost of trucking? Parking costs on the other hand are a perfectly reasonable cost to pass along [and assess] given truck volumes today, and eLogs and HOS rules. But keep fighting it of you want, but you're fighting a battle you lost a long time ago, and it's not going away because you pitch a fit.

 

If you run the Northeast would you charge more to pay for the tolls?

 

Well...if Somebody Paid for the spot,I wouldnt park there.Now,No I wouldnt Pay Fat Coin to park in a TS.,but...Its kinda like the knuckle head sitting in your "Expensive Concert Seat,that just paid for "General Admission". Hey,your "Outta here". JMO

 

I'm parked at Smith Grove, Ky. Pulled in and not many trucks. Found out why. $12 for everyone. $10 shower.

 

Oh,and to Answer the original post question ..NO..."They Should Be Paying Me To Park in their Nasty Truckstop...Frequently its Worse than an Episode of Jerry Springer.

 

Parking is a legitimate business expense for many people, not just truckers .

 

I think they resort to paid parking because they failed at every other aspect of running a truck stop.

 

#### this thread is annoying.

If you don’t want to pay for parking...get there early or park somewhere else. If you or your company doesn’t mind paying for parking that’s just awesome.

What’s next?

Why don’t they have an attendant fuel my rig?

Why do I have to translfo to get paid?

What? I have to go to orientation to get hired? Why don’t they just deliver a truck to me.

Sorry if you’re offended. Seriously.

 

Exactly. Taking a load into an area where you know you will have to pay to park is no different than taking a load that requires a tarp or is over dimensional or anything else that will increase your time and costs. You charge accordingly.
