When you park your truck at the truck stop, please stop backing up 4-8 ft past the line for where your parking space ends. I see.this everywhere and have yet to figure out why drivers think they need 2 parking spaces like they are royalty. If you don't know where the back of your trailer is, get out, walk back about 63', and look. Then the people on the row behind you won't be banging out into the driving area, and everyone can get parked safer.
Thanks

What do you get when three Swift trucks leave the parking lot at the same time? Six empty parking spaces.

I just drop my trailer in its own spot so I can park bobtailed in the middle...
Mr Ed Thanks this. -
Oh yeah, I love this! A guy got mad at me one night for pushing up against him. I had just lightly got up against his tail and then gave him a good push. I got out as he came up and laughed in his face while pointing at the line. Then I politely apologized, but for some reason, he still was a bit upset. He did give me my space.
Ya just got to kill them with kindness! -
I think that taking two spots is right up there with those alledged professional drivers that pull up one space in the fuel line, go inside to order food, use the restroom etc, and block the driver behind him at the pump. this has happend to me on multiple occasions. A little professional courtesy goes a long, long way.

aiwiron and Arkansas Frost Thank this.

I can't see the white line anymore. The two douche bags in the American National Carriers truck in Hermiston kept whizzing on the pavement next to me last night and I have a lake of urine under my door. Oh look, one just threw an empty marlboro package into the lake.
Kill me.Azcannon, Arkansas Frost, CenutryClass and 1 other person Thank this. -
If your real lucky you can forget about that lake and go tromping all through it in the morning!
