    I found a great solution to those bobtailers that park in the back of a full spot when there are bobtail spots available. Just back in the big spot they're in and drop your trailer, then go park in the bobtail spot that they should have used, that'll fix em, haha.....

    So the guy you block in, calls for a wrecker for a dropped trailer. Nice tow bill to the company.

    No different than guys who park semis in spots marked doubles and triples only, because they can't back a semi.

    Maybe all the bobtail spots were taken at the time the bobtailer parked and just wanted to go to sleep not wait for a spot to open. Maybe there were 2 bobtailers in that spot and one got a call to pick up a trailer and the other stayed sleeping. What I hate is the tandem tridem trailers take the easy spots to park leaving us real truckers with the super B' S to have to do the wiggle park or drop our trailers at a shop to be fixed at a shop after a 18 hour day of mechanical errors to try and find a quiet spot to sleep without being disturbed. Were all drivers and if your experienced we all have bad days or grumpy days or sleepy days or miss our family days but one thing most truckers are is anti social, Intelligent, anti govt and defiant at least Iam

    Pretty aggrivating when I see a bobtail taking up a whole spot...The dipshitz that do this should be shot....Park in the corner of the car parking lot or some other place where your not taking up a whole spot...Thank You

    Many truckstops do not allow it.
