Inconsiderate van parking-why?

[guido4475]

I noticed at the Pilot in Syracuse 3 vans parked right in front of the building all night long.2 more at the J in Corfu.If they were handicapped, I understand.If it was a short term thing, I understand.But to make it a camping spot all day and night is just plain rude and inconsiderate.This kind of behavior is what will eventually make us not being allowed to park up front at all.Please, park in the perimiter of the lot.

Of course, then there's the time not too long ago I watched an expeditor change his oil right in the middle of the restaurant parking lot in Laredo...Plainly visible from all the restaurant windows. Nice, real nice..

C'mon people, use some common sense and respect here.

Yup..seen the same thing in Tulsa at the J...

They have NO Entitlement to park in front of Dennys...The Dennys manager could have you turfed out...

Maybe they think they are entitled to a better parking spot because they buy their fuel there and don't like the spots offered? gee whiz...think shower head....

I think that's what started the problem about C/V parking in the Flying J lot's last year. Your 100% right about some operators, IT'S ALL ABOUT ME. It's a new world we live in. Wasn't to many years ago Trucking was an honorable profession.

i park at wally wrld when possible less frustations

I just park at the fuel pumps out front. Gets a little noisy trying to sleep when the bars let out but it is less driving after you fuel up.

Not only are these people inconsiderate, they are also idiots! Like Xiggy facetiously pointed out: "Gets a little noisy trying to sleep when the bars let out.." Why park and try to sleep where the most noise is generated. Cars coming and going, doors slamming, stereos thumping, crappy music and shower announcements blasting over the PA.

I like Flying J because most have a large car lot, uh they all have large car lots. They cater to large cars. I got, most have spacious parking areas for cars. Yeah, that sounds better, spacious parking areas. Save the perimeter or back corner for me. Same with Wally World.

We stay out of the line of traffic. That's for our peace and quiet. We do our best not to park window to window, our privacy and the expediter parked next to us; although last month in Laredo, that was pretty tough. We like to hang out in the back corners when possible. In those towns where the J's, T/A's etal are non-existent or Lot Lizzardy, we will opt for Wally World. We always check Wally World for semis or other vans camped out; hate being run out of a parking lot at 2 AM and having to relocate to Home Depot (Austin, TX).

I don't sleep at truck stops, period. Matter of preference. I usually go to rest areas or vista points.

I don't like the truck stop thing either..except when I need to shower and a place to change the shower head to MY liking...
