    It's not that important to me to lose money on parking that isn't reimbursed, I'll keep my 3000$ a year.

    I never paid for any spots either. I always liked to improvise/adapt/overcome. There are however some drivers who sweat it and so my answer to them is book ahead.

    Booking ahead is free?

    No it is not. When you book you pay. No refunds either. Spot is guaranteed. The fees range from $12-20. I book quite often and I am glad to have this option. I am very happy you guys prefer to improvise so that more spots are available and the fees would not go up. This way I can always book a spot and go to it like a King in a golden carriage.

    Post Scriptum:
    These spots are called Premium parking. If you do it at Petro/TA they'll give you a free bottle of water. Makes you feel rather special...I must say.

    Just cause you reserve one spot doesn’t mean you have to reserve a spot every night.
    I’d say most drivers (unless their company pays) only reserve 4 spots a year.

    I never got the resistance to paying to park from all the drivers. If I had to sweat $12 every once in a while, I'd have to find another job. Even without reimbursement...still these are the same peeps who happily pay $5 for 2 pieces of stale toast with goat cheese, salami and ketchup on top aka ts laxative at 2am aka Pilot Pizza.:puke:

    They can raise the price a few bucks and give me a Heineken, I’ll definitely call ahead! ;-)
