    I coulda used your rampage at the pilot in milford, ct today red hot. I fueled, pulled up, went to grab my cash advance and pack of smokes, peed (in the mens room) and left all in the time it took waiting for an open pump.

    That is the only reason I use Peelots and Hooks is for our fuel discount. For example, today in LaVergne, TN the pump price was $3.79 but my cost was $3.39...... But sometimes I wonder if it is worth the headaches

    saterday I was at a loves in OK. this western express flatbedder comes screaming thru the lot pulls in front of me as I am making my way to the fuel island. He jumps out never even bothers with looks just goes to tighting his strap that he tore off the trailer going thru the lot at mach 1. I pull in next to him and say "really dude" you do that in the parking lot not here. He walked away from me. I fueled and parked went in to visit the little flatbedders room and there he has standing with his well you know.. I asked him agian what the hell he said that he wasn't going to be there that long. it didn't matter to this tool that there were trucks backed up clear to the street.

    13) dump ash tray on ground 2ft from trash can, preferably in some spilt diesel with your last smoke still smoldering.

    Maybe I should give a class!:biggrin_2559:

    And as we speak we just pulled into our 2nd fuel stop of the day and already I am about to go off on an idiot. We got stuck on the off ramp behind a broke down Schneider. Well as we get to the TS we all go around THE CORRECT WAY to get to the fuel island. Oh...but one idiot is so impatient he has to cut through the scales to cut us all off. Get ready boys...I'm about to take my name to the next level!

    God...Please help me!!! Now when we are done fueling I run in to pee and get a sub. There was a truck in front if us so not holding anyone up. Get to subway and there is another NON ENGLISH SPEAKING MF who has to point to stuff to order.. Oh, and this is the dude in front of us at the island and he's been waiting in subway while we fueled!!!! Then after she gets his sub fixed he adds MORE stuff to it. I had mine fixed while his was toasted so I was ready to go. Then, as I head out he is at the drink island microwaving more of his food!!! Ugh!!! Please help me!!!! So I go get in our truck and I am about to explode. After 3 minutes he comes out...takes another 3 to move and as he moves its not to leave the TS.. he pulls through the scales to go ark!!!! I swear I may end up in jail tonight if I have to stop at another TS!!!!

    Eh it is what it is, you getting all bent out of shape over what goes on isn't going to change a darn thing. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you whole heartedly but there's not a thing that's going to change if you get all pissed off or not.

    So what if there's no room to park or no room to pull ahead? You just expect me to get back in my truck and go? I don't think so. If I can pull ahead, I will. Then I'll go inside and do what I need to do, ever mindful that there may be someone behind me who's in a hurry. Then I'll get back in my truck and get my stuff situated and leave..probably before the truck behind me gets done fueling or right at the time they're hanging up one of the pumps
