Since I run local, I have next to no use for truckstops anymore. However, this morning I decided to stop at the Loves in Lickdale Pa for a sammich. I drive around the parking lot, back in to a spot, as it should be. Then I open the door of my truck and am greeted with an overwhelming smell of urine and dookie. I look down before climbing out and there's the bag on the ground. We all have seen these I'm sure. Well, I step over it and make my way across the parking lot, and it occurs to me there's trash and little bags of dookie all over the place.
And then we wonder why the truckstops are turning into glorified gas stations. And we wonder why John Q Public hates us. And why local municipalities don't want more of these places.
I'm no tree hugger, or germophobe, but come on, seriously??? Hey, if you have explosive diarrhea, and won't make it across the lot, I understand. But for the love of God, please throw your bag of craps in the trash.
As Buford T. Justice would say "what the heck is the world coming to?"
End of rant
any thoughts of going OTR again have been squashed

I was taking a 10 at the Loves in Pittsboro IN one time and low and behold I watched another driver take a five gallon bucket from his cab (no lid mind you). Watched this dirtball dump it right on the ground, it was full with solids and everything.
-
if that's his truck and he wants to crap where he eats works and sleeps, ok. but if it's a company truck, how can such behavior go unnoticed by someone in the shop and why would this be tolerated? Those odors don't magically go away. Want to buy that used truck?

i care not what anyone does inside their truck, company or owner op. But dont throw your friggin bags of dookie in the truckstop parking lots! there's trash cans for that ( or that pesky driver tailgating with their brights blinding you)
Just makes me wonder where common courtesy has gonetruckon, That girl rocks, TURBO-TRON and 2 others Thank this. -
I always thought the drivers wore the Wal Mart bags, they come in a multitude of sizes, like diapers so they wouldn't have to stop. One leg thru each of the handle holes, then pull'em on up. Then at the truck stop they just shimmy that bag down, toss it out the window, then walk straight to the buffet.
truckon, That girl rocks, Surfer Joe and 1 other person Thank this. -
It's like at my employers yard we permit our OTR drivers with certain companies to take tens in our yard, and usually when I walk through the truck lot to get my tractor I'll come across pee bottles and stuff.
Before long sleeping at the yard won't be allowed I'm sure. -
That girl rocks and speedoflite2 Thank this.

You need a can of Lysol to spray on the floor and keep your shoes limited to a small area.
I'm no gemophobe but we are almost walking through a sewer. -
Hence why I try to warn everyone not to eat the petro buffet
