“I had to move out of a parking lot they don’t even use anymore because they wanted to start charging for parking. I still don’t pay but I have to park in a different area and my old area is practically unused meanwhile 5-6 truckstops would have to be full before anyone is paying for parking at the Road Ranger.”

“I try not to judge anyone but the one dude that works there has B.O. and it is horrendous.
