    It's simple. Either drive all night or stop around 3pm in afternoon if you want a parking spot.

    Again......quit trying to make money at this job!!!!

    Yup we’re boned. Big time. I stopped at my former old reliable, the White’s/Petro in Raphine, VA this past week. Not even a month ago, I used to roll up in here at midnight or later, and find tons of parking. I tried to park here Wednesday at 2130, and found 2 spots open.

    Screw this mandate.

    Here's the issue with the original statement that all three of those truck stops were full last night.
    Take it as you will, but only the big chain stops up there in Napolean are EVER full. This is the parking status for Fuel King for last night. Screenshot_20171217-085139.jpg

    I wouldn't believe all of that! I came up 24 Friday night and went by those truck stops. I would not try to park at the pilot any time, you can't get fuel there in under 30 min I wen't to the flying j on 280 with the other two truck stops. Spent the night left @ 0400 in my estimate 30% of the lot was empty. And 2 trucks in the paid spots.

    Those available parking reports are from other reporting drivers, aren't they? That's almost as reliable as the trucker path app which shows scales open or closed. I have come up to scales many times that reported closed and it was open. I know that the odds are the scale master may have just opened, however, I'm sure there are guys who false report because they are just a-holes.
