    It would be nice if the non-smokers weren't such a pushy bunch. Its not like I'm smoking crack. Truck stops are not Carmel, CA. I will continue to smoke in my truck and public areas more than 25' from a door and if you don't like it hold your breath.

    Always a good feeling to be smoking and have a flammable placard tanker take a spot next to you. :rolleyes:

    I was parked next to a truck with an APU the other day and it made my truck shake. But that's better than laying in your bunk with the windows down and having a cow hauler pull up next to you. As far as doing a parked regen, it's a nuisance but not much a driver can do about it sometimes.

    I really don't understand why smokers just don't give in to vaporizers. It makes smoking tolerable for a non smoker.

    Or peed in the fuel island, walked out of the bathroom without washing, went a day too long without a bath, blocked the hammer lane, dropped their rubbish out of the truck window before they pull out in the morning, heaved a pee bomb (a lot of irritation with urine) ignored their cb, didn't bother to buy a cb, left an empty trailer with a flat, hogged a long space with a bobtail with short size parking elsewhere, taste tested the buffet, or told fibs at the counter. Maybe I missed some?
     
    PChase, FLATBED, OPUS 7 and 2 others Thank this.

    Think it's a great idea, on the "no smoking parking" but no one will follow that rule, On the Reefers parking next to flats, Just about every day, I have this happen to me, when I pulled a reefer, I would always park away from non-reefers, But It seems that most of the new steering wheel holder out here these day, try their best to be the rudest ###e$ on the road, watch them drive passed open spot after open spot just to park right next to me, Watch them climb into their sleepers right at the pump to take their 30min. can't wait till I find a local job, It's just sicking what this industry as turned into

    Last time I was in Bend, OR there was a truckstop that did not allow reefers in the back row. They did it because there was a residential area behind them.

    What a joke..
    What about Trucks with Straight pipes?
    A lot louder than most reefers.

    Guess it could be STOCK TRUCK ONLY and NO Reefer row. lol.
