    Who has reserve spots besides parking lots at hospitals reserved for overpriced doctors and clergy?

    I'm more curious if any larger carriers are reimbursing these costs. I doubt it, though. I also doubt many trucking higher-ups have any idea what it like finding safe, comfortable parking at many key areas of the US after 17:00. It's hard to imagine that at the rate new large truck stops are opening, it hasn't helped the parking situation enough to notice (at least in many areas). Maybe it's helped to reduce the number parked on off ramps and such and I guess that's something.

    But bottom line is, the truck stops are simply converting a portion of their spaces that used to be FREE and now making them PAID. So, bend over drivers, ur' fixin' to get another screwin'

    it's worth the 13 bucks
