    You might as well pay for the reserved spot if you so desire, you're gonna get hit for $20 either way. So spend $15 on a reserved spot and $5 in the store and give the attendant the receipts, voila!

    Yep, saw a guy last year in Cheyenne with the manager running after him in the lot, I thought he might have boosted sumthin' outa the store but when he finally got the guy stopped the fuel nozzle and about 5 foot of hose was hanging outa the passenger side tank.

    Pilot in Salina, KS, just made much of the first row paid parking. Now, we'll have even MORE trucks parking around the edges of that place and blocking the scale. Yay!

    Plus they either know or have a pretty good idea how much TA has made from doing it.

    it is one way to ensure one has parking. it certain areas reserved spots at a ta or petro are rarely open. I asked a gal behind the fuel counter at loves if they were going to do it, her response was are you kidding, the manger doesn't get a reserved spot.. though I don't think she understood the question.

    300 days a year paying for $12 for parking is $3600 bucks you weren't paying before coming out of your budget.

    yep, some companies will reimburse for it or a driver could write it off. since you are the company, can't you write it off ?
