No not Truck Stops anymore. They are called "Travel Centers" now a days. They are trying to expand their customer base to more than just truckers. In the meantime the owners of the travel plazas are saving money anywhere they can including buying smaller lots and skimping on the paving jobs. With limited parking areas they really cannot afford to have parking slots filled with drop trailers. Dropped trailers do not buy anything from inside the store. The best customers are the ones that buy fuel, buy some snacks, and leave to make room for the next customer. Cruel I know but it is just business.
