Procuring A Parking Spot at a truck stop?

I'm leaving the truckstop at 0200-0500. When I open Trucker Path it shows "no spots available" and last status update 3-7 hours ago. My spot is now open and I see several empty spots as I roll out. For MOST truck drivers no pull-thru spots and 10 individual spots spread around, but requiring a back, might as well be no spots available. Backing is your primary skill and most drivers act like it's only something to do in an emergency.

 

Shoulda put that ha-ha emoji on there, huh?

I also leave those hours. Try to get around the ones the truckstop should ban.

The ones who drive into the night aren’t smart enough to wait until 0400 when spots start opening up. Which I thought everyone knew.

The hourly updates from 1500 are the ones everyone can use. THE COUNTDOWN TILL SUNDOWN. So I update when I finish my day. Parked at 1540 after 703 miles today.

Update away. The Parking Prediction feature needs every hour accounted.

 

How's parking going for ya TODAY, Dave? Locked myself out of my CAR and had to call the daughter an hour away for the spare key. Either that, or AAA walk of shame. Man, I tried everything.

Anyone know where to buy a 'slim jim' on the market? And no, not the beef stick.

 

^^^^ Yeah, I procured a parking spot alright, LoL.

 

Be one, or buy one. My mantra.

 

Awwhhh hell nawh.... yep, nope. Sheesh.. smh. Okay, I drive a Mack (or an Int'l because my Mack is in for service.. but yep nope.)

Almost as bad as a pack of coyotes....... smdh.
