    I confess one time I was so dog tired I could not harldy park let alone drive, bad weather and snow had many places packed. I ended up parking at the fuel dump area, the fuel driver must not said anything since I sleep light.

    I woke up with fuel hoses run under my trailer, I got up and seen it and jumped out and offered an apology and he said do not sweat it.

    At Joplin Love's last winter, I was out of hours and SOL for a parking spot. That fuel hauler was real nice, said I could sleep next to his fuel truck. He got enuff thank you's from me to last him a week.

    But, see? If you had been one of today's new "time-conscious" drivers, you would have just started up your rig and pulled out without ever knowing those hoses were there....until you ran over 'em!

    LOL you have a good point, I do walk the truck and check things out but when you wake up and see orange hoses it does shake you a bit,

    Last time I was at that flying J most of the lot was closed and I went around the back to look for a spot and couldnt get out. Somebody blocked the exit and I couldnt back out because there were a bunch of truck behind me.
