And one final question.
Whose idea was it to pull into a "Gas Station"?
Although there is a truck parked along the north curb, those long parking spots behind the building are marked for cars not trucks. And the exit you took out the south side is not set up fora truck to exit without blocking any vehicle from entering, as you found out.
Be interested to know if the trainer chose that stop. -
Well this is how we ended up there... so we left northern New York earlier that day... lowville to be exact... I wad a few hours into my driving and we typically try to stop around every 3 to 3 1/2 hours... just to use the bathroom and stretch our legs... when we did our pre trip or say I did the pre trip there was supposed to have been a travel center on exit 44.... according to truckerspath and his book... but there wasn't one on exit 44... not trying to get to far out of route and without making a u turn this look liked the best alternative so we stopped there done our thing and proceeded on... you can pull in one way and go out the back of the parking lot... it looked alright as there was two trucks already there one being a tmc flatbed and I forget the other company

Now whether he should have directed me different or not when we decided to pull in there I dunno.... I have had alot of people question why he let me get in this situation and to answer that I'm really not for sure... I don't wanna put any blame on this guy as he seems to be trying...Waterman_99 Thanks this. -
VinceBlack, Waterman_99 and Opus Thank this.

And then you had a Homer Simpson reaction, "DOAH", when you passed the NY Thruway service plaza 1 mile west of the exit you took????
Good LuckVinceBlack and gentleroger Thank this.
