    What do you mean a regular spot? A full slot in the truck area or a slot upfront for the rv? If you were pulling a trailer and arrived to a full parking lot but a bobtail was taking up a slot wouldn't you be upset? Same as a rv parking in the truck area because trucks parked upfront in rv slots. Sounds like you were basically in the wrong area and that J did right by letting you know. Just my opinion as all truck stops should enforce the parking rules for everyone.

    Should have wrote "Maybe if you @######s hadn't removed a bunch of spaces to put in a shop there would be more room to park here".

    That place is always a last resort. Filthy store and showers, and one of the worst Dennys.

    The TA across the street, formerly Danny's, is better but it's all pay to park, not that you're likely to find a free spot at the J. Unfortunately, there aren't many options in Phoenix.

    It was a sad day when TA took Dannys over.

    yeah, I had a list of those too. One time my manager was amazed at how close I could get to the client the night before. I grinned and said I got a few tricks.

    When going to Phoenix, I would usually stay at the TA near Tonapah if approaching from the west, or the one near the 10-15 junction if coming from the east. Usually a place there at the big lots.
