    Saw this at Porky’s near Dillon,South Carolina.
    I guess the owner(s) had it with their wiggle-wagons using the place as a transfer point,hogging up all the truck parking!
    Last time I was here(about 3-4 months ago)the sign wasn’t there!

    I don’t blame them. Most guys swap at a larger place and show some decency. I have seen a fair share act as if they own the place and swap in the worst spot.

    I like it !
    10 roads got to using truck world in Hubbard Ohio as their switch yard for a while with the drivers parking acting Like they own the place ...taking all the parking near the building, parking at fuel islands and in fire lanes .
    They got run off .
    Seeing a lot of this lately with ups and 10 roads .

    We try to tell the new guys to switch out in the VERY back of the lot, be a good neighbor, don't take up valuable space for the OTR guys, but... inevitably there's mishaps.

    I agree with that and don't have an issue with it, it's when I can't find a place to park and get dirty looks from the switchers like I'm in their way that I get irked .

    Yes they got very bad there. There would be 3-5 different companies swapping there at once.

    Yeah, one of those doesn't require a scramble to cover a bare ### so you can run and get a tag number! :D
