    I did. They sent a guy out on a golf cart to check all the trucks and he didn't kick any of them out. I got a refund and left

    A fourth truck stop would not make a trifecta, would it?

    Two people know what happened and it will be decided if the use of force was justified. We’re not allowed to decide if our actions towards another are threatening, that is only for the other party to decide. That’s kind of where the saying “F around and find out” came from. I don’t carry a gun but my dog could make someone not like their life for a while. It’s not up to the other person if they end up on the other end of my dog or not. That is only my choice based on their actions.

    Newbie drivers are still learning that reserved parking should not count when reporting parking status through Trucker Path. Most get it, though.

    When using Trucker Path, you always have to look beyond the current status by also checking the history. The current status may sometimes be wrong or updated one hour or more ago. If you check the history, it will tell you the average full status based on the past weeks (or months).

    I guess I'm still a Newbie then.

    If a truckstop has 30 reserve spots open and available I certainly will not put the lot is full just because the free spots are all taken.

    That's the problem with truckers path and why it's almost useless. Everyone has their own criteria for full, some spots, and lots of spots. Not to mention the idiot's that say its full when it's half empty, or empty when it's practically full.

    Please don’t. The availability of reserved parking spaces is available on the PFJ and TA/Petro apps. Trucker Path should add a note on their app explaining this.
     
    TokyoJoe and Deadwood Thank this.

    That certainly is a problem. They tried solving it about a year ago by providing more options than the current three (full, some, lots), but it wasn’t successful. They’ll eventually solve it, though.

    It doesn't matter.

    It does matter, but you don’t care. There’s a difference. It wouldn’t surprise me if y’all don’t even use Trucker Path and are just bs around. It’s so common in these forums after all.
