    Another Petro that's going to 100% paid parking. The lot near the entrance is under construction, they removed the old guard shack deal they had that split the entrance/exit lanes, now replacing that with the ticket/gate system...

    I'd suspect that the majority of TA/Petros will eventually all follow this business model.

    I posted this picture a couple years ago, it was taken at this exact truckstop....

    Can ya really blame them? :biggrin_25521:

    I have parked at that Petro a few times when I drove over the road. It is worth noting that there is an independent truck stop several hundred feet east of the Petro.

    I believe the ta in north bend, wa is putting in ticket gates also. At least that’s what it looked like as I bounced by on I-90.

    When BP bought T/A they figured the dumb truck drivers will pay back their investment and reap in the truck loads of money . They will go out business if they are waiting on my coins.

    If the lots are nice and the garbage is cleaned up I have zero issue paying for parking. Usually have better neighbors, too.

    Sadly, charging for parking will not correct nasty behavior. They brought this third world mentality with them and will carry it to their graves.

    I started to agree with you, but then I remembered I have been out here a long time. And truck stop’s have always been trashed up. Except used condoms have been replaced by bags of ####.
