    my point exactly, i do feel it has value. and i guess i am the guy they are marketing this to.

    its nice to use when needed.

    and remember on veterans day, all vets eat free at t/a and petro.

    Guys I understand this is totally off subject however important! If anyone sees a Palmentere Bro's Trailer or Thunderbird trucking Trailer. Please Please Please call the owner Joe at 816-695-2712 with location of trailer and where it is at as well as the truck the truck would be an international or a Kenworth that is 2012.
    He is trying to locate this stuff as the company is closed.Please get the word out to everyone you know. His trailers would be at the Truck stops as well as places like Tyson ect. These are reefer unit trailers.

    I can understand a truck stop having a few pay for parking spaces if they are premium parking spots, I.E. close to the truck stop, electrical hook ups, more room between trucks, ect, ect. The question is, how many pay for parking spots is too many?

    It is a nice option when you know you are gonna get to the truck stop late in the evening and know you will have a place to park.

    I just thought about what if Walmart charged customers to park. They'd make a fortune more than what they make now.

    Its actually pretty simple. If drivers don't use the "pay here" lots then they will realize what this greedy thought is costing them and quickly change the policy back to "free". You never see shopping stores with pay here lots, never see McDonalds ect with pay here lots, bowling alleys don't charge for parking. Any other industry doesn't pay for parking so why should truck drivers? There is always somewhere to park so the need to pay isn't there.

    Like I have stated before How soon will the truckstops begin charging for the toilet paper in the restrooms? The only reason they keep charging for more and more things is because we the drivers allow this.
     
    EZX1100 and CertifiedSweetie Thank this.
