i have been doing maintenance at a truck stop for 3 years.i've seen the good the bad and the ugly.i think the ugly has taken over.
i have to empty the trash on the diesel island,usually 1/3 full of full urine bottles
clean the parking lot
food,trash,urine bottles and poop bags
guys emptying their trailors of pallets,cardboad,refused stuff just gets tossed out in the parking lot
we have dumpsters and barrells all over the place and this still happens.
the bathrooms
why leave it in the toilet,all that needs to be done is push the handle and its all gone
our older drivers won't even admit they drive a truck
sad, very very sad

Hello and Welcome

Buzz, it is a shame that standards have dropped so low. I am sorry that you and other truck stop employees across the country have to put up with that.
I have a lot of respect for myself and would not and do not do the things you mentioned. I know that you and your fellow empoyees are working and earning a living and I respect that. I appreciate that you ar there when I need fuel to drive, coffee and all.
I know what you are saying is true and it saddens me as well, I just want you to know that there are still a few decent, respectful professional drivers out here. -
I am assuming that the bathrooms are only used by truckers and not the general public or even employees of the truckstop.
If a trucker goes in, does the op run in and check? -
Actually I think he is complaining that several have no idea where the restroom is.I would submit they no where it is,they are just to lazy to walk that far

And yes it is a #### shame.The primary reason so many Walmarts put up those "low post's" is the type of trucker that does those types of things
-
it is a shame.i know there are more decent than idiot drivers.it's the few that ruin it for the others.
we have a very clean stop,the housekeeper is awesome.
the owners wanted to upgrade the showers but now they want to take that money and build a booth and charge overnight parking to cover costs of cleaning up after these guys.
if you see someone doing this kind of crap you should say something to them.
they are only making everthing tougher for the good truckers. -
There is no faster way to lose business than to charge for parking . Drivers resent that and will avoid the business entirely .
-
parking is free if you get fuel,eat at the restaurant or shower .they want to cater to the truckers who use the stop.
they want to get rid of the people who just use the stop to park and mess the place
the drivers who use our stop all the time we have no problems with,we believe it's the drivers who just park.
i caught a martin driver yesterday tossing pallets out.i said are they yours?he says yes.i tell him we don't want them either.he says well what should i do with them?i tell him put them back in your trailor if not i call the cops and your company.he p****d and moaned.i said this is prive property not the dump and he could put the pallets in the dumpster.he drove out and didn't use the dumpster.probably threw them out at the next truck stop parking lot.
