Do not block me in!

Second time this has happened to me. Woke up in Marion IN at the loves. Two yard birds pulled in after I went to bed and parked in front of my truck long ways blocking about 10 trucks in. These were not parking spaces. It was the drive through area to get to the fuel island. Last thing I want to do in the morning is beat on someone's door to tell them to move. If there is no place to park what makes you think you can block me in? I am not a rude driver and would never block another driver in. Move it or I am going to start knocking on doors with my winch bar!!!!!

Notarps, I hear you! Today I drove by the one truck stop, and there were 2 trucks and trailers parked side by side in the drive through lane to the angled truck parking. Effectively if anyone wanted to park there, they would have had to drive by and back in. Not a big problem, but that particular stop is designed as a drive in, drive out stop.
Both trucks have a local base, and were probably in the truck stop having breakfast, but it showed a total disrespect to their fellow truckers.

No, I do not remember the company. Three letters out of canada. Yellow tractors. The one that I woke up was spanish. The other one I could not wake up. I had a hard time getting out. My bumper was very close to the second handicap parker. My trailer was inches from the fender of the truck beside me. Had to really jack the spread axle around tight. Big coil and when I am loaded heavy it is very hard on my front spread to drag it sideways.

It might have been SDI or something like that.

When: Last night
Where: Rest Area on 1-35 Just south of San Antonio, TX

I pulled into the rest-o-rea and crawled into the sleeper for a short nap. When I woke up and prepared to leave, I realized that the Mexican Car runners (You know... all the cars you see "IN TOW" heading south...) had apparently ALL decided to take a break in the same rest area. The crappy thing is, they had parked all around my truck, completely blocking me in, and gone to sleep in their cars. I had to go around to every one of them, bang on the window, wake them up, and demand that they get the ###### out of my way. One of them refused to move, so I pulled out my cell phone and said, "Llamando la policia" (Calling the police) That got him to move his ###.

Inconsiderate, inconsiderate, inconsiderate. I felt bad for waking them up, but they should have found better places to park.

That's alright. They might have been illegal aliens anyway.
