All the above and Canada. I'm used to it. I like knowing where I am going since I go to the same places repeatedly.

 

Hopefully. I just recently found out that they no longer reimburse parking so the cost cutting is still going on.

 

Aren’t there a lot of IR terminals across the nation you guys can park at?

If the above is true, does that help with the nationwide parking shortage?

 

Cool, how's the traffic up there? Decent, Good, Bad?

 

We can park at Tank Washes? Some of them right, the ones that have more room. Also are they open 24/7?

 

####... Alright cool.

 

Also anytime someone wants to build a truck stop a lot of municipalities say "Not in my town". Then they say "bring everything we need and then get out of my town and go somewhere else".

 

I don't have any issues parking in the areas I normally run because I know where I can park and how long it takes to get there so it is easy to plan my stops.

Where I run into issues is when I am in an unfamiliar area and I am unsure of where I can find parking. Most recently I was in OH and was maxing out my drive time to ensure I made delivery on time. I picked out a truck stop and thought I would be good to park there at 3pm but when I got there it was packed with dropped trailers etc presumably from drivers that lived locally. I had no drive time to go looking for another place so I grabbed the last reserved spot and paid for it. It's rare that I pay for parking, usually no more than 2 times a year and it was always reimbursed as I was under a load. Payroll said they don't that anymore so in the future I will just stop earlier instead of rolling the dice.
