    Shhh! That keeps the rookies out of the GOOD places!

    By the time they figure it out, they should be able to back into a hole without taking out hoods and mirrors.

    Also (my outfit uses the T/A Petro network) at least Pilot/FJ isn't getting into the reserved parking scam. At least when you had to pay for the lot you got comped for 50 gallons of fuel. Now some T/As are reserving up to 50% of their spaces. DON'T encourage them!!!

    If I wanted to pay every night, I'd toss the sleeper and become a Marriott rewards member. At least I can get reimbursed by my carrier for hotel rooms.

    Just used a Love's shower for the first time in 3+ years this morning. It was way nicer than what they used to be. Same crappy blue towels though.

    Nothing worse than the pure silent public restroom where your neighbors and you are touching shoes between the stalls, toilet paper dispenser is near the floor and can hear each other dragging the sandpaper across the ### lol
