Pay for Reserved Parking. Good Idea or Bad?

No, I don't want to get into the rights thing. I've never said they do or don't have rights about anything. Oh my goodness. Why are some of you stuck on the rights issue? I don't like the idea of pay to park. That's it! Not about the business having rights to do it or not. Geez!

 

Then don't support those places. It's that simple. Don't buy anything from them. Don't even pull onto the property. That's what I do with Winco/Cub Foods, because of how their warehouse treated me and other drivers, in Brooks, OR. I'll go to Safeway or Fred Meyers, but not Cub.

 

hey that looks just like my 1st truck+trailer

 

I don't think it is a bad Idea at all, The reserve space idea has been able to get me a place to park when there was going to be none. The next idea would be to have paid parking for the whole lot with a guard to control the riff raff and the drivers who park where ever they want blocking access to spaces and driveways, seperate areas for bobtails would be a good idea also. I use TA and Petro exclusivly and plan my trips around their locations. I refuse to use a flyingpeelot because of the rude help, the dirty facilties and the self centered drivers who block the place up so you can't even get out of the lot with out knocking on doors. YEA I'm the one who is blasting the train horn at all you inconsiderate morons blocking things up, What is up with these drivers who will park in a no parking area when there are spaces available, is it cause they are lazy or just can't back up?

 

That's a great way to solve the problem. Blast your train horn and annoy me while I am parked somewhere that is appropriate. Real professional, driver.

 

Is the pay to park TA in Tampa one of those wonderful places your talking about
1:42 minutes there on Monday just getting fuel and leaving
your missing the new soup bar at the pilot good eats

 

over the line maybe but your line of thinking is part of what has put trucking in the spot it is in and i am so sorry my views on the new breeds have upset you so much that you had to stop my freedom of speech those are my views on this and ill stick to them thats part of the problem no 1 will speek out to try and stop any of the abuse driver have to put up with today and if the people have to be upset to make them think and do something i dont think you have the right to stop my posts

 

You may have 37 years of experience driving, but you have a lot to learn as to "Freedom of speech" as it pertains to a website.

Their website, their rules.

Oh, and I've seen plenty of "old hands" behave like the "new breed" you "speek" out against. It's an industry problem.
