    I would agree but the riff raff have now moved up in ranks due to the growing number of retirements from the older generation. I’d give it a few years at most before it’s a #### hole.

    take a look at that TA in SoCal, pay to park but it’s a #### hole.

    That is also true.

    The big difference is anyone can drive onto the lot at the T/A in Ontario and with almost total confidence do whatever they wish and not get caught and pay the consequences. Even if a truck stop has a gate, it only dispenses a ticket, it has no idea who is on the lot in real time.

    This is a gated entrance, cameras catch the plates and driver in addition to a time stamp on the app with full information about the customer.
    Plus, T/A has long since given up patrolling or enforcing any parking rules since their security guard shot a customer in Texas. And T/A is now owned by BP, who may have even different ideas on how to run things.
    This company says it will do it differently. We will simply have to see if they live up to their claims.

    Mabie this will separate the drivers from the steering wheel holders. I highly doubt the mega will get in on this

    It is a bit to rich for my blood . but its really nice to see a company supporting truck drivers rather then constantly ####ting on us.. I hope these guys do well and expand across the country. Sounds like a really nice setup

    In San Antonio, the riff raff aren't gonna pay a cent if they can get it for free elsewhere. They'll just keep crowding the existing truck stops and side roads with their four-wheelers during the day and their janky old belly dumps & sandboxes at night.
