    If you are using the unpaid level of Trucker Path it is just showing your the Goiogle Maps or car version of routing. You have to pay for at least the Gold Level of Trucker Path before it gives truck routing.

    In certain areas I saw that someone was constantly entering parking status full every hour at one or more truck stops. I don't know if they were doing it as a sick joke or if they were trying to save some parking spaces by keeping people away from the truck stop.

    I still don't understand the ijits that are asking if there is any parking left by posting a review. I don't have good guess if they are on tablets and maybe they aren't seeing the same screen I see on my android phone.

    Another is that the availability of beer is the primary concern of many posting a review.

    Could be one person just racking up points. I dont know anything about their point system but I know when I give parking status, it says I just got "X" points. I have no clue. Maybe its for lot lizards, reckon?

    What ever happened to buying a book? Hell you can even write your own personal reviews just for you & you alone. AC3E85D0-7882-449A-A05E-80BDFF83ABE8.png

    I take reviews with a grain of salt but often find helpful hints about lot access or nearby amenitues. Certainly helpful to know if there is a problem with paid parking vs free parking etc

    I used to use it when I was OTR.
    The comments and reviews were mostly for entertainment..
    I looked at how big the lot was. And that's all

    My favorite is when they give 1 star because of bad cell phone service. But beer is always worth a few stars.

    The places with the highest reviews seem to be old independent dumps that are run down. Prolly cause Earl likes the way they make his hash browns, and they let you smoke in the dining area.
