    Exactly.

    I'm generally the slowest guy around, and will always move out of the way as soon as it's safe to do so. Some customers though, there's just no place to move to, and they expect to load a flatbed and send him down the road in 5 minutes like it was a van. It's gonna take me as long as it takes, and if they don't like it, they can take it off. I will not be rushed or do anything unsafe.

    Believe me, this place has a lot of problems. Lol

    Again, the flatbed pilgrim wasn’t in the way. He pulled out to the front and wasn’t an issue for anyone trying to get in or out. I was just watching him while I was unloading trying to figure out why so long securing. It was just curiousness on my part.

    He could’ve just been effing off. No one has offered that as an explanation.

    Could be true. Sometimes when I have short time, and a place to park, I may just cruise along.

    That is true. I've been guilty at times.
