    Howdy Marten driver,

    Next time you park, please park flush with the curb.
    it would really make a difference for others when
    entering rest areas.. thanks

    The flat bed pulled up after I knocked

    How far away from the curb was Marten?Looks like the trk ahead of him didn't park any better.Also looks like neither should have parked there to begin with.All it takes is one trk for others to follow his lead.Sure everyone needs to take their 10 hr brk but common since is suppose to come into play.Drivers that don't think deserve to get woke up.

    why didn't you knock on the Martens door and the other inconsiderate drivers who were parked on the left side where they shouldn't be?

    I wonder how many drivers like this are forced to leave completely because of parking like this and then their elogs are disturbed,lol.The flatbed was parked like he should.I would have not woke him up and start at the beginning and wake every driver up along the curb.

    Exactly, why would you wake up someone who was parked in a proper slot?

    Next time wake the drivers up that's in your way rather then the ones that legally parked.I think even if Marten did flush the curb still would have been a tight squeeze getting out.Looks like the one ahead of Marten is to blame.I personally have no problem waking drivers like this up.
     
    HalpinUout Thanks this.

    This is a common occurance in rest stops and some truck stops

    Marten is the only rig along the curb with the tail emd sticking out

    other wise its a straight shot thru once the flat moves.. tight but reality
