    I had dumb luck like that at the Pilot in Sulphur Springs. Nobody wanted that spot at the end because you'd have to block traffic entering and exiting to.back in. I said #### it and blocked it for a few while I shoved my trailer in that spot.

    Yes it is a mess, but you also have to look at the corporation that now owns the flying J. Pilot...and all their truck stops are too small and the drivers that frequent these stops do not have any clue what the fuel island is for, but i will say that Loves has to be at the top of that list and the employees at either the flying j,pilot, or loves with do nothing about it. I refuse to go to these stops until the employees step up and do their jobs and have a few trucks towed from the island and see how much more customs they could get by upholding their end of the deal.

    I am staying at a Love's this morning and they've come down on several drivers for sitting at the fuel aisle too long. Nobody was towed, but they are getting called out on the PA and a porter is knocking on doors.

    I've noticed several Love's truck stops cracking down. Just yesterday at the Strafford, MO Loves I was asked if I was parked when I went in for a shower. (Technically I was parked across the street at the TA but she just wanted to make sure I wasn't in the fuel island)

    Had that happen at the Love's in Joplin.

    I'm at the new loves in Springville, UT and I filled up, parked, went in for a shower and all the while the Canadian/Indian truck in the fuel island next to me is still parked there.

    Cal Ark driver at the Loves in Hearne Texas last Sunday, waddles his worthless fat a•• out to his trucked parked in the fuel island. Carrying his overstuffed bag of McDonald's he had the nerve to glare at the driver that was waiting way more patiently than I would be, that was waiting behind him. I had pulled forward and the guy behind me was still fueling, I waited for him to leave which required him to drive in front of me. I pulled out like he wasn't there. I can't stand people that think they're the only people in the world.
