Warning booting at truck stop $600.00

Just caught a video on Tik Tok about this place. Googled it and the reviews confirmed…..it’s a real dump!

 

It takes a grinder, sawzall, or tools to remove it.

My memory is a little fuzzy on it, being that it was about 30 years ago. But a guy in Nelson got his car booted. He went down the street to a hardware store that does tool rentals, cost him very little to rent a sawzall for 5 minutes to cut it off.
I stopped to talk with him, nice guy, we had a good laugh over it.
An entrepreneurial type of person, would go there every morning with a saw, and cut them off for $40.
What a great cash business and little work.

 

You really have to send places like this a message by leaving them empty. That’s not how you do business and attract customers in America. There’s a truckstop right after you go over the bridge on 301 that bypasses DC. It’s in a prime location. Thousands of trucks a day go by there. It’s the only truckstop within about 60 miles. It’s a huge lot. With a big building and a equipped restaurant inside. It’s empty all the time. Wanna know why? Because before you even back into your spot comes flying Lying out of the building to collect his $15 for you to park there even if it’s just for a few minutes. He literally is standing at the side of your truck before you even get positioned. No truckers will park there now. And the guy is going bankrupt. The same thing needs to happen to the place that’s booting truckers and then trapping them by not having proper signage

 

The proper signage is in question. Might have a case!

 

Yes the very small sign at the entrance is a sure bet it is entrapment why do they not have a large sign that can clearly be seen? However technically legally speaking they can still prove they have a sign up. Glad you mentioned this as now other truck drivers will be alerted to this very elaborate scam.

 

I know another place that was like that. I just looked them up and... well what do you know... PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

In the words of the immortal Nelson, "Ha ha!"

 

Phenix City, Alabama, huh? Nice! That place is a disaster right from the word go. You're a lot braver than I am
to go there. The staff is always rude and the little diner that used to be next door is gone.

 

Lots of pictures of recently booted trucks this year on Trucker Path. One person posted a picture of the sign. It’s on the post by the dumpster that is located near the entrance. Easy to miss when you’re paying attention to traffic and looking for where to go. Total scam. $598 charge to remove it.

 

I would cut that BS off. What are they going to do ?
