    When I ran without air con, I would find a spot away from everyone to get a breeze in the cab.

    It never failed, some £]¥]#$@$@ in a long nose truck would pull in next to me, block any airflow and then idle the truck with their air on and the fan running with a squeaking belt.

    That's called a double fisted middle finger right at him, then move.

    I quit watching when she said she was too stupid to put on the proper footwear.

    If we're "professional drivers" why should we have to stand in a lake to fuel our trucks?

    No the issue is she went out of the truck improperly dressed. The outside should not be a mystery everyone has windows. Too many possibilities as for the reason for the stop at the dump with drainage issues.

    Turning off your headlights when parked should be common sense, I find that I'll leave my markers on so someone has a reference point (I hate the thought of things that go bump in the night), but no reason for headlights to be on.

    That happened to me once.. Afterwards I dreamt up a trick using the old moonshiners alarm trip wire. I strung a fishing line from near the unit, leading inside the sleeper window to a noise maker on my bed stand.

    I did not hear her suggest it, she just said a lot of times they will pull nose in.

    Really!, we're listening to a Fed ex driver talking about t/s ettiquette?
    How many times have I been stuck behind a ltl carrier, including Fed Ex, doing their 30 minute break at a fuel island? Surely I'm not the only one.
    Sure, she's cute, but her kind has screwed me before at the fuel islands.
