    Sometimes you have to park on the island, I run doubles, if I have to poop I can’t back into a spot, I have to pull in front of the pump

    Pulled in to fuel lane. Truck next lane over pulls up to clear pumps. Driver gets out with shower bag and goes inside. When I went to fuel desk, told them about it. That driver was in shower and not happy about getting called on this.

    This is getting worse
    Guys parking and putting the trash can behind their trailer
    Or I’ve literally watched them sit around doing stuff they wouldn’t normally do like pre trip stuff right up to the 30 minute mark

    Few weeks ago 2 somolian low life’s were at a pump at a TA in KS when I pulled in, there was a couple guys waiting for fuel. 1 of the duo walks inside as I pulled to pump, as I’m fueling the other 1 gets out with his tooth brush and starts walking in. I said move your truck people are waiting to fuel, no English of course “we get fuel”. Had my wife and kids with me, I fill up, go park in a spot, pour a coffee, kids and wife use rest room, I use restroom, pay for store items, those 2 losers were still in the store in a long line at subway. My wife said let it be, so of course i did. The pump never hit their tank, they were still there when I left over 45 mins with a line. Old Schiender truck pulling a Amazon trailer go figure.

    I wanted to open the door and pull the keys and throw em in there fuel tank so bad, I still been thinking about a few weeks later. Then they really couldn’t of gone anywhere when they were done with their nasty footlong and washing their feet in the sink. The truck stops need to tow these losers from the property. Plain and simple, line for fuel shouldn’t be backing up as these losers wander the store. 2am middle of the night not a soul in sight trust me I don’t care, 7:30am line backed out the drive, and you don’t move definelty a low life. Drives me crazy. 1 day I questioned another guy that was blocking pumps with a line he cracked his window and said he was broke down. I highly doubt he was.

    As you guys know, I make trucking videos. A few years back I turned on my camera to go ask a driver who was pulled ahead in the fuel pumps, but obviously had been there a while, I walked up with camera rolling and asked him if he was almost finished with his 30 minute break. He replied "2 more minutes...".

    What I marvel at is a fair percentage of the comments below the video telling me to mind my own business or that I could have just gone to another pump.

    Those defending these people sitting on the pumps are just as much the problem.

    Blocking up the fuel island is your business. It's all our business.

    WTH is up with all the foreigners I see washing their feet in the bathroom sinks?! And why is it allowed? I don't want to wash my hands where their nasty ##* feet have been.

    I want to deck guys when I see them putting their feet up in the sinks. Makes my blood boil as much as anything (since returning to OTR)

    It's a Muslim thing. Some sort of ritual for them.
