    To the OP

    I hope your head doesn’t explode

    Took us 6 spots to get safely parked
    And make sure we can get out in the morning....

    That is because they arenew and trying to prove you can do it. After 10-15 years or so, you say what the (if you c kay) I don't have to prove dooky to no one. If they dont like it then dwi. deal with it

    Flatbedders actually bother to park? Since when?

    Lol. If all I was getting paid was 44 cents per mile I'd drive the truck 79 mph and never stop for anything

    May have earlier been tarping his load (yes). Needed the space to get around.

    Or, you could just knock on his door and ask!

    Doesn't look like this guy did based on photo evidence.

    I've been there, needing some room around me so I can fix a tarp or better secure a load. Throwing straps or chains requires lots of room on either side...you cant do it right next to another truck.
