Hear that. I was at one last night. They were parked 3 deep next to the scale. The guys parked facing that had a tight angle getting out, considering trailer swing to neighbor mirror ratio. I avoid Loves most of the time.

Did he try the old “I can’t move because I’m on elogs” bit?

Actually, he wouldn’t get up. The guy next to me was sitting up smoking cigarettes, he offered to back up a little ways. I thanked him and he still has his hood mirror.Wasted Thyme Thanks this.

The one that gets me is the 'creative parkers' who fanagle spots when there are still quite a few regular spots. It's like some drivers have an aversion to actually using a designated parking spot.
It also helps to not be lazy I think. IDK. Last night I'm coming into Coachella California. There is a casino called Spotlight 29. They have a really big and nice truck parking lot. I've never seen it full and usually it is fairly empty. I exit off I-10 where there's a Love's on one side and a TA on the other side. Trucks all over the place, including the exit and entry ramps. Drive over to Spotlight 29 and there are open spots for at least 50 trucks there. I chuckled as I didn't even have to back into a spot. And, driving a reefer, I do try and avoid parking close to other trucks, if I can, so I won't bother others with my reefer unit. IDK, I was just like really guys, there a crapload of spots here and you have to bunch yourselves up like there are no parking spaces within 100 miles.
