G.O.A.L.

The money grab that is the $15 reserve spot is nonsense. Have a parking lot with 200 spots and 80 of them cost money, ha.. I smile when I see those signs flipped over and bent out of shape from angry truckers.

 

This crap has been going on years. nothing new.

 

As the majority sink lower and lower, it becomes easier to stand tall. Years ago, they didn’t have terms like “Man Up!”, because they were already Men. I know, friend, it’s deplorable to watch the rest of society sink into oblivion, but despite that, we should still endeavor to carry ourselves as Men.

 

Don’t they just bounce back up?

 

They shouldn't put those signs directly in front of the parking spots, just asking to be hit.

 

Personally, I liked the reserved spaces. Gives me a shot at actually parking inside the lines, coming in at strange hours. Used them frequently, when I actually had a need to use a truck stop.

You all know this and I'm going to be that guy and say it anyway, but the point here is not reserved parking slot vs. free, it's knowing what's behind your trailer before you start backing it in. If you didn't get a good hard look down the space and immediately start backing, get out and walk back there to make sure. I don't care if Joe Always Late is honking at you, check your six. There's more than one way to play the "Me First" game, and in this case it's putting yourself and your rig first by not hitting the scenery, while ignoring any 30-mph-in-the-parking-lot blowhards who might be momentarily inconvenienced by someone doing the right thing.

 

Volvo drivers will not be deterred by some silly sign.
