What's up with T/A and their "Parking Reservations" ?!?!?

I agree, some are springing up new truck stops. I know some new loves have popped up in FL.

I myself know some places like the flying J in Tulsa, OK are full almost every week day no matter what time if day you go there.

I do agree though, there needs to be improvements on parking, Id rather them increase parking instead of building new showers with audio inputs in them and other stuff that really isnt needed.

 

I'm surprised that love's has no stop in Tulsa.

 

You cannot use your points to pay for parking. I tried somewhere and they said it's not allowed.

 

Game, set, match....

Great post.....

 

I would contact corporate and ask them why. If you can redeem a 15000 points to buy a Cobra 29LTD classic radio, you surely should be able to redeem a 1000+ points for a parking spot. That seems rather peculiar.

 

I agree! I had 20,000 points and they wouldn't let me redeem them over the phone. You'd have to go to the truck stop, print out a redeem ticket, then pay for it

 

When I know about where I'll need to be stopping, I'll look for TAs or Petros in the area as soon as possible. If I know that they're normally busy locations and / or short on parking, then I'll call ahead and reserve a space so that I don't have the hassle of trying to back into a sub-optimal spot while I'm tired - or run the risk of not finding a spot. Sometimes I'll just drive to the location and scope it out. If there are no 'free' spaces, then I'll pay for a reserved spot. It's amazing how many drivers will think nothing of dropping $20-$30 on pizza, hot dogs, coffee, smokes and sodas in the c-store, but will make it inconvenient for everyone by parking at the ends of rows or along the entrance / exit lanes to avoid dropping $12 for a parking space.
