    I'm sitting here at the Pilot in S. Beloit, Illinois and I just witnessed a Prime Inc. team just park on the fuel island and go in and take a shower for a good 45 minutes. There must be literally 30 open parking spots. Are you really that lazy and self centered? The lack iof common courtesy out here anymore never ceases to amaze me. The sad thing is that that was probably a trainer with a student, so instead of showing a new driver the proper way to do things he shows him the exact opposite. I almost went and confronted the idiots, but I don't need my blood pressure raised and God forbid one of those punks get in my face. Rant over.

    No different from what I witnessed a prime driver do a few weeks ago, on my way to Texas stopped to fuel was talking to a JB driver, we both go park in the dang near empty lot and I do mean wasn't hardly no one there. I'm walking back to my truck, prime driver was trying to back into the spot between JB and my truck ended up knocking JB's mirror off. Don't understand why he didn't just park in one the numerous spots available

    you'd have loved this moron then lol

    new Albany, ms at the pilot last week. 2 deep at each lane and one fueling where the pumpkin is. I pulled in behind that one. the 2 in the lane where mr. wrong way is at both pulled out together soon as I pulled my brakes and this idiot pounced on the lane in the wrong direction.

    grabbed his bag, locked his doors, and inside he goes.

    from the time I staged and waited, moved up and fueled, moved up and went inside to coming back out to the exit to snap that pic was 34 minutes and he was still there as I left and hadn't come back out

    I've seen guys tie up a lane for a good while facing the right way but this was the first time I'd ever seen anyone kill a lane in the wrong direction and grab his bag and say #### you all and go in and get a shower.

    you really gotta wonder what goes through their head to make them think they're so much better than the rest of us.

    there were 30+ spots empty in that pilot he could have parked and waddled his fat ### inside for his shower.

    yeah it is....and I posted that pic and description of the thing in another thread I'm pretty active in figured nobody would believe it without the pic.....

    one of the other guys immediately asked if the truck was from Miami because he runs down there a lot and sees that kind of thing all the time from drivers down there.

    In all honesty there are better things to let your blood boil over.

    In this day and age these things are commonplace. Just deal with it as another day at work and move on. Hardly worth thinking twice about. Let alone writing a thread.

    Truck stops need to grow a pair and start towing these trucks and charging them rent for blocking the pumps. A couple of $1500 rent charges, (Amount of fuel that could be pumped X the amount of time they sat there.) would stop this crap. Any company that gets a fuel discount at that chain gets it revoked.

    I saw a truck parked at a Pilot, first island, I fueled, went and parked, did my log books, go back inside 45 minutes later and truck is still sitting there with the window down. Went inside and said something to the cashiers, said they'd paged the driver but nothing. Idiot left his window down, should of stuck the water hose in his window and turned it on.
