Is it me or am i perhaps I’m being ignorant but surely this country is missing a trick by investing in Truckstops??
I doubt many are making a huge profit.
The cost/hassle of setting up a new truckstop puts many investors off. Add in the nimby-ism, the environmental impact, drivers & operators unwillingness to pay for parking. The constant abuse & vandalism of facilities and you soon see why no one wants to open them.
If they were free the tight gits would still not spend a penny and they would still ■■■■ and crap all over the place

a lot of companies pay a separate tax-free sum called meal allowance each day for those that tramp
I used to get meal allowance on a day cab tipper in a previous job. Never ever spent a penny of it on meals.

As for night out money again I agree that it’s for exactly that your meal shower etc. Trouble is you get a lot of tight people that don’t like parting with it!!!For some of them their wages are so crap the night out money is the only thing that brings it up to half decent.
a lot of companies pay a separate tax-free sum called meal allowance each day for those that tramp,Most companies if not all will not pay for parking if your empty.I will use truck stops for showers and food,never use the MSA’s in uk for food, and showers that are clean that work and have hot water are rare, I won’t pay to park out of my own money that ain’t my part of the ship
Never work for a Company that does not pay parking loaded or empty,when time is up your time is up,all non payment does is encourage running bent or parking in an insecure place.
Personal security comes before the Company scrimping
