So if I were to summarize the previous posts, the reasons a driver speeds in the parking lot are:
I'll apologize up front if any of the quotes were taken out of context. Just thought I'd check if we missed anything...

Even your reply shows your lack of maturity. Your dad along with others has tried to get you wise beyond your years, but that has fallen on deaf ears....
3 months... wow I am speechless..

simplyred1962 Betty Boop, One Bodacious Babe!!!
His profile shows he's been out here less than a year...
Just wait until he takes his attitude out to Wyoming this winter, going across 80 with 70 MPH winds, a light load, and he'll be doing the posted speed limit, regardless of weather/road conditions....

Nah he wont be doing the speed limit he'll be sitting in the truck stop telling his dispatcher why he can't go nowhere. You know cause all those "supertruckers" make it to dangerous for him to go anywhere, so he better wait it out.simplyred1962 and FriedTater Thank this.

When I witness unsafe and immature perfomances anywhere, I get the truck # and name and make a phone call. I give my full name and company and I go on with my day. Especially the brain dead losers that drive 5 feet from the car in front of them. Terrorist punks. They make us all look bad.
simplyred1962 and Stacked Passion Thank this. -
So what do you do when they are backing in to that same spot?
-
That would suck for you to call the Name and number on my truck,cause I'll be the one answering the phone.

Call the Big Name on the door and you'll get a sincere "sounding" person
that will have forgotten you called 5 min after they hung up.
Granted your intent is worthy,but truthfully call centers are covered up with such on a daily basis and are "numb".
Unless the call context is of a "serious" nature(collision,property damage etc) calls of this nature are a waste of time.

I'm in big trouble on this one, made dinner last night for some friends (all truck drivers) and we all agreed the pork chop dinner was better than usual and the pie was to die for. Great now I've done it more than four drivers agreed on something.

As for chrome....Misery scales swear the amount I have on the truck probably has put extra weight on it. I like chrome and my partner is okay with chrome but no lights.
Usually when we show up at a truck stop y'all are killing yourselves to get out. Park the same place, last row, far corner....no one wants to walk.
simplyred1962 Thanks this. -
I love parking in the backrow far corner because usually it's where the grass is. I can get Cookie out and sometimes if I find the right place even take her off the leash for a few minutes to play fetch. Granted I have her shock collar on just in case, she isnt aggressive but she is so exciteable its sometimes confused by those who are scared of dogs
simplyred1962 Thanks this.
