    As long as I have a signal......o_O

    I enjoyed sitting in the truck stop lounges listening to all the ex navy seal snipers tell their tales while snickering under my breath.

    You should make sure that contract you signed, is enforceable in your state. I wouldn't pay them a dime. Send it to collections. Dispute it. Have a lawyer threaten them. I wouldn't pay them a single penny.

    I apologize for my juvenile-like response in this thread (page1)
    I was in a weird mood at the time

    Anyway in all seriousness,
    I want to mention finding ways to entertain outside the truck....as OTR you can spend 75% plus of your life in your truck either driving sleeping or just hanging out.

    I often will spend an extra 15 minutes and research a non truck stop place to do my 10 hr if I can predict about where I'm gonna be

    A Mall area or Movie theater usually comes to mind. Catch the latest movie or walk around a bit, window shop etc, usually lots of food options. (Food Court)

    Off the top of my head; A couple places I like is the Via-Port Mall in Schenectedy NY i88 i90 (Security doesn't bother u and I'm the only truck there parked over in a corner lot). If you Google earth it you'll see a Trailer all by itself That's where u want to park

    Palisades Center Mall. W. Nyack NY. I287. You have to park at the Park and Ride lot next to it. Security won't let you park at the Mall itself. The park and ride has other truckers there and it's a 5-10 min walk to Mall. ( God knows I can use the exercise to stretch them legs a little)

    So finding things to do outside the truck is the best option for me

    TV when I can get a signal. PS4, tablet tv streaming and Internet surfing otherwise.

    Back in the day it was a magazine or a book, there were no tvs in trucks, and DVDs were a dream of some science fiction writer.

    If he's any sort of man he will honor the agreement that he made, rather than trying to worm out it with legal technicalities.
