The shoulder of the highway is not your personal parking area. An observant person would start to believe that American semi trucks were the worst built and maintained vehicles ever devised.

I would venture those drivers are running right up on their required 30 minute break and hit the shoulder at the warning chime.

But what can you say about an industry that has drivers that literally cut holes in the floor of their sleepers so they can poop without stopping ♂️.Bean Jr., TheLoadOut, flood and 7 others Thank this. -
Got to remember this industry is full of people who are driving simply because they have no other choice. They hate the industry and everything about it.
So don’t expect any level of professionalism.Opendeckin, Rctruck87, Bean Jr. and 17 others Thank this. -
I can honestly say I am glad I do my own thing and don’t do the big Distribution centers. Most customers get my wagon loaded and unloaded in 1 to 1.5 hours. Mostly small customers. So restrooms are available. But blame our fellow drivers for screwing things up. Tearing up facilities, showing up looking and smelling like outhouse bums. Disrespectful and using the lots as restrooms when restrooms available. Yep full of pigs

Or Maybe he planned his trip and crap happened and the road was shut down

I see so many sitting on the shoulder and have just passed a rest area, truck stop, or even just an exit.... then pull right off the shoulder into the driving lane. Have to wonder if they’re stupid.
