    So guy just made own space in odd way. Too small to fit truck and trailer without blocking trucks, so he leaves trailer and parks bobtail somewhere else. Give him props for using brain but wtf.

    I wouldn't be comfortable doing that. I had to Richard Park last night at the Pilot in Upper Sandusky, OH just long enough to get my shower before I could move it along. Hate doing that.

    WTF do you imagine he did "wrong"...?

    On several occasions I had to drop a trailer at a truck stop and take a different load.

    Sounds like he was meeting a swap there but what a bad place to swap loads.

    Atleast he thought about others which is very rare in this industry, most of these guys would have just parked it and stayed connected
