When there was still 20 reserved spots I got woken up and was told to move. I said if I need to move so a reserved person needs to park I will do so. The guy then threatened to call my company and have me towed if I didn't move. It's pathetic how all the good spots Pilots and Flying J's get marked off as reserved and when the free spots fill up they force drivers to have to pay for the privilege of parking. It's horrible how Pilots and Flying J's nickel and dime drivers to death.

Stopped at the Flying J store # 139, bought $400 of fuel, went and parked, dog tired, was going to get a shower, decided to wait when I got up. Went to Dennys to eat, then went to sleep, then I get a knock on my door saying I was in a prime parking, it wasn’t a reserve parking never has been so I was told because they just printed on the concrete reserve parking that I had to move or I would be towed. This is unbelievable. I will never buy anything from this client again and I almost feel the same about all Flying J’s and Pilot.
