Wow... not the responses I was expecting for the most part. When people ask about using the highway weigh stations, people are pro truck. When it comes to taking up a stop meant for a trucker to park and take a break there is no love?
Truckers drive for a living. This is how they feed themselves and provide for their families. I would never want to do anything to intentionally upset that balance.
Truck stops are for truckers. Rv parks are for Rvers. Truckers can't very well pull into the nearest Rv park and crash for the night. The stops are specifically for them. Unless its an emergency, I would never stay more than an hour or 2 at a truck stop. By emergency I mean that I am too sick to drive and need a safe place to pull over, or for some reason so exhausted I absolutely have to stop and sleep for a couple of hours. I would never make it a plan to stop at a truck stop.
We have so many other options available to us as Rvers... Walmart's, Cracker Barrels, Rv parks, etc. Please be considerate to the men and women trying to do their jobs and keep our country ticking.
You make me laugh. My money spends as god as a truckers in a truck stop. First come first served. Flying J even encourages RV's to utilize facilities. Trucks also have other areas to park including Walmarts, Lowes etc. When I am tired I stop wherever legal.
