    The parking problem could be easily resolved. For every so much gas you buy you get x amount of hrs free parking. For every so much you spend in other services you get x amount of hrs free parking. Just like you get free showers for x amount of gas bought. A simple card placed on your dash with the date your parking expires, or a sticker for a trailer; or truck and trailer numbers on a list. Once that time expires either buy more parking time or get towed away.

    I've seen some companies already offering 24 hrs of free parking for every 50 gallons and 24 hrs for every $20.00 you spend in the restaurant or store.

    I mean come on guys, they aint making no money off of people that just park there for the night that don't buy anything - eating out of their truck, etc. They got a business to run - and if you are taking up spots paying customers could use they should tow your %$#. They are in business to provide parking to their customers - not free parking so you can meet your HOS and save money eating out of your cooler in your truck.

    I bet not a single person would agree to give free miles to a customer because that customer once paid for so many miles of delivery, instead demanding pay for every mile ran regardless of how many deliveries they paid for before. No matter how many Loves, T/A, etc you've spent money in - THIS one has it's own books to balance.
