    It would be nice to provide portable (job type) restrooms for drivers and a board of numbers for police, repairs, towing and such. I never, and will never pay to park at fuel/ truck stops. I would only pay to rent a space to park a truck on home-time. Here in Alabama, a lot charges $75 a month and you get 2 spots-one for your personal vehicle and one for your truck which seems quite reasonable.

    You know, providing parking for truckers really is pretty similar to running a feed lot; Like the cattle, drivers only stay there for a short period of time, and you have to clean up when they cr@p all over the place. If you can make money putting up with filthy animals, you can make money putting up.....umm....errr.....you know what I mean!

    There’s some good comments in here about a parking lot. I’d try to run a fairly tight ship with it with having reserved spots and all. The guys you want in there will appreciate it, and the ones who don’t want to pay or gripe about the rules you don’t want anyway. Plenty of decent drivers would be willing to pay for a good place to park near their home I would think.
