Pilot/Flying J reserve a spot

I have always viewed staying at truck stops are the absolute last resort. I would think you would get a lot of negative vibes sent your way if you start using reserved sites for your RV. In my opinion, truck stops are work areas for truckers. Using one of the reserved spaces, leaving a working trucker perhaps without a space, infringes upon their livelihood.
It would be a little like if some of your co-workers brought their children to work and let them play in the break room. They technically wouldn't be infringing on your actual work area, but they sure would be annoying when you were on break and wanted a peaceful, quick location to get a cup of coffee and some down time.
RVs have many more places that welcome them on an overnight basis than trucks. RVs are welcome at Private campgrounds and RV Parks. They can overnight at Local, State and Federal parks. They can use Corp of Engineer locations, national forests and BLM land. RVs are welcome at most Walmarts and Cracker Barrels. Other box stores allow them as well. Truckers pretty much can only use rest areas and truck stops. Truckers are a vital cog in our national economy, give them their due and their space.

I haul RV's from the Factory
The RESERVED SPOTS are Exactly that ---these stations (truck stops ),set up a certain number of spots and if they don't get used Then at a certain time they will open them up to General .

but I'm coming in late at night and seeing spots that were reserved empty it's a business for them ---that's how businesses work.


So you're saying Western RV park owner --that if someone is paid ahead of time for a site and they don't show up then you'll sell it again out from underneath them ?????

is that what you're saying
