Ta Petro

I'm getting fed up with ta Petro they're more expensive they force you into paid parking their mechanics rip me off. I was parked on the end out of the way like we all understand, and i was just woke up, the guy kinda insulted me stating that trucks couldnt park on the ends cause it was too dangerous but i was free to violate the 10 hr rule to go jump in a paid parking spot, as long as i paid first. Im hot..........took my truck in for shocks, i come back 20 minutes later hes changing my oil pan gasket. Well sir he said oil pan pays 500 bucks a shocks just 80, so i figured id do your pan instead. I said what about the shocks, he said what about them they look fine to me! What a joke. But i can feel free to pay to park. The think im missing now is a little more trash on the ground and some truck stop drag queens, that would really make my day!

If oil pan seal wasnt authorized why?? Or he claimed it to company for the xtra charge pfffft rip offs

Welcome Caleb. I’m a little connfussed on your post.

Parking first, if you were not parked in a marked spot your not entitled to park there. There is no understanding it can be used to park and I agree with the ts making you move. It is dangerous and alot of incidents happen because of it. The lots are marked for a reason. No readon for you to get upset when you are the one parking that way.

The paid parking issue. They are running a business. It is private property and they have every right to do it. Look at any large city. People pay to park every day when they go into those areas. Paid truck parking is no different.

Shop issue. Your post sounds very strange to me. I use ta shops on occassion and I always have to sign a work authorization before the truck ever gets in the shop. If you or your company didn’t authorize it, they sure wouldn’t do it because they won’t get paid for it. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, just sounds very strange how you outlined it.

Or that he just joined the forum, and this is his first post...

The point of the rant is what?

All Big Truck Stop Chains Are Bad, or Maintenance Takes Time?

T.O.D.D.ish. Very strange post to say the least.

This must be an example of understood parking
