    I love blind side only parking lots, like jubitz in Portland. Always some parking open late at night.

    I never been to this jubitz, Is it a good place with home cooked meals-waitresses that actually know what their doing and allow smoking?

    Are their plenty of l;arge cars in the parking lot,Or Mega trucks?

    Is it Pure Diesel,Or mixed up water down Bio?

    Never been to Oregon- BUT If jubitz is a Real Trckstop-I may take a trip out there some day-Who knows

    You have to punch in a tax code when you fuel there in addition to everything else you have to enter.

    Im not punching no buttons to buy Fuel,

    I pay Cash- Then I sit down to a hot nurse or waitress cooking me a steak.... Then I'll get some young cats in the lot greasing my truck while I'm getting a Full Blown Happy Ending by a truckstop cashier.

    For some reason my brain read that as POLAND, which made all the follow up responses hilarious

    I’m also starting to really see all the pros of parking nose first especially when it comes to protecting my truck itself from other drivers...

    my concern is though...backing it out of the spot lol

    I almost never ate out of a truck stop but I heard good things about their food. It is a step above most chain truck stops, but it is still a large truck stop in a large metro area, not a hidden gem hole in the wall.
    I haven't been in nearly two years, but it was free to park when I was there last.

    I have found that the angled spots that are blind side only are actually easy to get into because you have plenty of room to setup.
