    it does, but when your within 2-3 miles of the nearest truck stop which happens to be In front of you, PC is allowed and the cops don’t care. As long as your not being a jerk.

    in the end your starting point and end point are taken into consideration.

    plan accordingly and you shouldn’t have problems.

    Remember 14/11 you have 3 hours to SSS everyday and PC is for when you really cutting it close so it’s not an everyday thing.

    Op is following bosses orders and parking where she is allowed. Nothing snobbish about that ...

    That is why I pull in nose first in back row, on the rare occasion I park in a travel center lot. I get in get fuel and a shower and get the #### out ASAP. I usually find a hole in the wall mom and pop stop or some industrial park to park in away from
    The stinking sewer stops drivers tear up.

    You can almost guess what brand truck stop OP parks at. Demolition derby at night and fuel island camping all day.

    Theres almost always a few spots in the back of a lot where it’s a straight back in, and a clear shot out the exit that can’t be easily blocked by those idiots that refuse to trip plan. If you end your days early, these spots will be available since the back of the lot is shunned by the stinky fatboy crowd.

    Those of you nosing in a row that has parking spots across the driveway, it ain't pretty. Especially, when you need help to get out later or make it hard for someone else to get in or get out. In my book it is just as ugly as using toilet and not flushing out. It either means that you are lazy or lack backing skills.

    I’d only nose in , in a spot with an aisle or driveway directly across , but there are several of those to choose from usually.
    Unless you arrive at 8 PM .

    I don't mean that nosing in is unacceptable all the time. It is bad when someone creates a difficult area to maneuver for others. For instance, for those trying to get out or wishing for a spot.

    You gotta pick your nose in parking carefully and visualize the area at 4 am to make sure you can get out of there without a problem.

    Yep, but I figured this O/O had cameras on the back of the trailer as well , so that would make it pretty easy to reverse out of a space.
