I've seen it often and haven't a clue why. In example, just now had a guy pull up and park next to the curb. I'm parked on the end of the row, but next to me are 6 empty spots and it looks like 2 of them could even be pull through. I understand when no spots are left, but when there's a plethora of open spots, why do some truckers just ignore them and creative park. I really have no understanding of why.
Why do truckers creative park when there are tons of open spaces?

It just seems kinda stupid to me, when there are lots of open spaces to be had. -

Maybe it’s because the open spots are far away and some drivers don’t like walking. When I was OTR I’d park in the back as often as I could. I personally liked the walk and it was usually quieter back there.
I would creatively park whenever I was bobtailing. I couldn’t justify taking up a whole spot with a bobtail so I’d park wherever it would fit but a full truck couldn’tSaltyoldone, RockinChair, QuietStorm and 8 others Thank this. -
And, I'm actually more of a math and science person than an English genus. I'm much better versed in Schrodinger's uncertainty principle and Feynman diagrams than correctly using present perfect tense. That said, my previous occupation sometimes required me to elucidate somewhat complicated concepts in various technical matters with penned narrative.86scotty, Badmon, Isafarmboy and 1 other person Thank this.
