    You can park there as long as you want, or until you get towed.

    You have a bus, so they might not like you using their lot to use for your yard. Best to talk to their management first to avoid surprises.

    If its a lot with paid parking (PAID not reserved). Then you get 2 hours, a few very few are still 4 hours. If its not paid parking, then park as long as you want. Depending on the size of your bus. If its nit longer than big rv's. You may be able to park out front in the car (non paid) parking lot.

    Thats very sad too... I like it when those Werner drivers and their big Bubba Mugs full of Coke go in there and shop around forever and then they come wobblin back to their truck coke sloshin around everywhere... "Sorry I took so long, this mug weighs a lot"...

    Ontario Petro charges $20.00 per day for parking.

    There are people that lived at the Love's in Tacoma for decades. When they legalized herb, it hurt the business of those growing weed in their trailers in the lot.

    When they knocked it over, probably a few labs went to hell too.

    Talk to the manager and tell him you'll buy all your fuel there. They might cut you some slack on parking if you're spending money there.
