    You need to work on your "creative parking"
    When it's full, create a spot. Just don't block another truck in.
    When you get up in the morning, it'll amaze you where some trucks will be parked.
     
    Xzay Thanks this.

    You can also call to reserve a spot ahead of time. Pilot/fly j Ta/Petri all have reserve parking. I ran my clock down to 4 minutes tonight only because I Reserved a spot and knew I'd be able to park once I got there. All you have to do is Google ta reserved parking or Pilot reserved parking and it'll give you the number good luck my friend

    Oh and they run anywhere between $12 and $17 a night depending on which location. Well worth it in my opinion

    $84 to $119 a week to park per week. Worth it. $360 minimum a month.
    Thats a lot of money to pay out.
    Oh but it's a tax write-off. That makes it better. Just sayin. Nothing personal, just another expense. The chain truckstops know we need to park somewhere.
     
    Toomanybikes and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

    Depends where. Lake Station, IN, you can find parking even after midnight, same with Demotte, IN. Forget about it at the Petro in Gary though.
     
    KillingTime Thanks this.
