Has anyone here gotten chased out of an idle aire parking spot who wasn't using idle aire? We were at the Petro in Girard, Ohio (which when we drove for Transport America was a pretty regular place we went to spend money) and my old man pulled into a spot (it was like 10 at night) since there was nothing else, and this idle aire jerk comes out and bitches at him and tell him he can't park there. So he backs out and he is lucky enough to "make" a space elsewhere. There were tons (not literally, but you know what I mean) of empty idle aire spaces.
We like idle aire. We can't always afford it and the cheap stingy company my old man is working for right now won't pay for it. But my point is, (here I go on my soapbox again) Idle aire is not what made these truckstops. Truck drivers are what made them. We won't go back to the Girard Petro. If Idle aire wants to chase us out, fine, we will go elsewhere, there is a TA a few miles down the road and a Pilot across the street. What ticks me off, is the Petro is the one we liked. I can understand Idle aire wanting to reseve spaces for the people who are going to use the service, but what about the other customers who don't, but use the services inside the building? Having other trucks running while we have ours off when we are using IA doesn't even bother me. It doesn't even phase me.
Anyone else have this problem?
