    Why do I see people pulling in tractor first when parking in the truck stop lot? Company policy? 2.) Why do I see guys with a teddy bear in the co-pilot seat?? :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    What is this twisted truckers? Does it really matter what another trucker does? Maybe it's faster to pull it on then to drive around to set up the back. Any way u look at they still have to back up.

    IMO they nose I. Too protect their hood, laziness, incapable or unsure of their own backing ability or to control the temp in the cab(parking away or towards the sunrise/sunset.) unfortunately doing this tends to narrow the lane between rows of parking and often makes parking more difficult for others. I have a buddy that has a teddy bear in his passenger seat because his little girl gave it to him to keep him safe lol.

    I do it sometimes when I am pulling a reefer... if I can find two reefer to back between.. nothing wrong with being considerate to other drivers.. it can be a pain sleeping with my reefer kicking on and off.. pulling it in puts a little distance from the reefer and their cab...

    I see the trucks with the teddy bears and stuff.. I think it is cute and cool they personalize and have fun with their truck..

    Mind your own business and stop worrying about what other people are doing. Stop putting other drivers down and making fun of them. It's not cool. Why do you have to make fun of people? What are you so afraid of inside yourself that you have to make fun of other people? Workplace bullying is not acceptable and you will get fired for it quick.
