I always thought there was some kind of code or conduct when coming into a truck stop, but it seems its every man/woman for himself. The other day I, like many other truck drivers,pulled into a T/A to get a 10 hour break, there was one spot left in the whole place and I was coming around to get it when this !##$hole in a bobtail runs in and takes the spot. I just want to say that if your bobtailing, go park at a circle K or something, save the big spots for the big boys. KAPEESH!

Haha I had one spot stolen from me the other night as well. MY main complaint is no one seems to pick one spot to travel in. I pulled into a Loves and wow trucks coming right at me,trucks coming around me on both sides and so on. I had to just stop the truck until all the traffic was gone even know I had the right away,

I'll bet it was George Castanza, he did that to me one time.
Sorry to hear about it. -
I also try to park in the appropriate spot. The worst ones are when the bob-tail spots are open and here's some bob-tail backed into a full-size spot, and he's backed in far enough that it looks at first like no one is in the spot.
rocknroll nik Thanks this. -

I went to Waco J to park and full semi's and bobtails were everywhere in the car and RV area. Had to use the RV pumps to stop and go to the restroom. -
T/A Denver east has a huge bobtail parking, when it's full they will let the bobtails park int he car/rv parking in the front lot, but only one portion of it.

I ran into a bad situation at the pilot on I-35W exit 65 north of Ft Worth the other night, I was bobtail at the time I finally found a small cubby hole and backed into it. I got woke up about 0100 to go get an empty trailer. I finally got back to this pilot about 90 minutes later and just decided to park on the exit ramp, not smart I know, but that was really all I could do. Dang its getting hard to find a place to get in that 10 hour break.
