Aren't motorway services meant to be 'secure parking?

About every 2 weeks drivers come on here moaning about parking but when you are having a night out there is space in your yard for a truck to park so how many companies let trucks park in there yard with full facilities and if not why not.

Good idea,let’s wait for the excuses why it could never happen.

I’ll tell you why it won’t happen.

Because people with yards in ‘prime’ locations would be full up every night and people with yards in crappy locations would be empty. So you’d have a deficit in spaces from the get go. To make it fairer you’d need to charge - but transport companies wouldn’t want to pay more than the services. Then you’d need a booking in and out system - at best security man could do it. But it’s a pain.

Finally - you’d have drivers from other companies coming in, kicking off, damaging stuff, stealing stuff and generally being a nuisance. Remember that it only takes 5% of drivers to ruin everything. And finally - it would require companies who are in cutthroat competition with each other cooperating and being nice. Which isn’t in their nature.

Wow,a ray of sunshine,have a good evening.
