Don't park in the corner spots in the truckstop. You can't control the steering wheel holders that will do this to you. Always have a way out.

Time to wake that driver up and say "excuse me....sir.....but, you need to move." "good news is you can have my real parking spot when I leave!"

I know there are lots that do it....but I always shake my head when I see a driver nose into a parking spot. So many times I have seen drivers blocked in that do that. Even when they have plenty of room when the nose in.....creative parkers can eliminate that space quickly.
Not saying not to do it......just saying.BUMBACLADWAR Thanks this. -

I nose in at times but only when I will have a straight line back out like they both do. However I'm pulling a 48 ft flat with my rear axle all the way to the back so I'm the same length either way. If those 2 nosed in trucks are still there when the blue truck goes to leave he's Gunna have a tough time. And the truckstop is only half full at 8:30 pm. No excuses.

I nosed in once with a flatbed spread. In Nashville 76. If you recall, it's a curved pathway around the rear of the trailer or what would be a ring of cabs if you backed in properly off the grass. That stop is long gone now so you newbies don't have to worry about turning on actual grass....
