    I don't feel rushed by other drivers. I drive where I'm comfortable at. If I'm pulling a light 45k load I go faster. When I'm pulling a heavy 58k load I go slower. If people are in a hurry they can go around me.

    I had a ProStar rental from Penske a few month's back. If you were going 55MPH (the speed limit) on cruise control, and came up on a sign that said School Zone 40 MPH when lights flashing, and the lights were off, it would throw you into a panic stop, because you were speeding.....

    We have nanny cams on our trucks, but they are thankfully not that obnoxious.

    Just wanted to say great job by several of your drivers at BH in Groveport tonight. Very limited overnight parking as many of you know, but 5 of your trucks feel the need to take up 1 1/2 parking spots each. I know we’re suppose to social distance but that’s a little overboard.

    At that point, I would have told the guards about it. They would have gone over there and played parking attendant.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Nah. It’s way more fun to beeyotch anonymously on the internet. Besides, this poster probably couldn’t pull up right to the guard shack so he didn’t have to get his flip flops wet.

    That’s what I usually would have done, but last time I let them know a guy was parked bobtail in the middle of the street, they said that maybe he would figure it out when got run into by someone. Lots of things have changed here over the last year.

    I found a spot #######, I was thinking more of the guys getting here in the middle of the night and have no parking because of inconsiderate pricks. You know, trying to look out for other drivers. Maybe you should try it sometime instead of being a prick on here.

    Did you try talking to anyone about it? Sure doesn’t sound like it.
