    Wow rhm, have you been getting some miles lately? Havent seen you lately and the fuel island thread is buried on page 3 or something. But i digress. Maybe you are getting a pull thru parking spot and they dont want there trailer hanging over the spot behind them?

    If parking is rather close,

    some drivers to it as a courtesy.

    Gives you more room to pull in.......

    I have never parked at a trk stop that is tight.Mainly because when I get up I don't wanna have to worry about how in the heck am I going to get out and don't wanna risk getting clipped while sleeping.If I see a driver having trouble ,ill get out and watch his blind spots.
     
    LaBubba and Everett Thank this.

    Cassie is a grass burner but the exhaust is on the right side, the "movers" have been on the left side.

    Myself once I'm parked the first thing I do is close my privacy curtains.I usually don't even know when another truck pulls in beside me.
