How common is it that drivers will block the fuel isle for 30 min?

The last HOS revisions were SUPPOSED to alleviate issues like this and parking but people that exhibit this type of behavior will always be degenerate POS losers. No laws will fix it. There use to be a time when we policed our own communities instead of begging for the government to do it for us. Maybe we should all return to the days of Charlie Bronson and begin cleaning house.

 

The one blocking me so that I couldn’t get to my reefer the other day understood very clearly that he had zero time to waste moving forward, or I would have moved it for him. I try not to ever get to that point, but I was, and he knew it.

 

I think those that answered one in ten must be owner ops fueling at anyplace other than the megas, or are fueling in rural areas off the interstate or something. Your typical OTR mega truck stop is where this is happening.

 

I, too try not to get to that point, but when I'm on my 12th hour of my day trying to make it back to the shipper to get loaded and just go the #### to bed sometimes my tiredness and lack of nicotine let loose...

 

I run the same lanes each week and can buy my fuel wherever I want to.
I recently re thought my fuel strategy based on fuel taxes , bs at the pumps , shower waits and decent food choices.
Loves and pfj I no longer buy fuel from and now its ta petro and road ranger .
Much more sane for it .

 

Yep, and that situation happens to most drivers from time to time. To me, it’s incomprehensible how people can be so rude given that they must understand that not everyone has time to waste for them to to break at the pump.

I had one guy block me for what seemed ever, only to come out with his food and drive only a few truck lengths away and park.

I had two FedEx contractors blocking side by side pumps. They come out and start bs’ing at one of their trucks without moving. Finally they move up and continue to block.

And on and on. Poor upbringing or something.

 

What do you guys think is a fix the trucks stops can do? This #### is getting more ridiculous by the day, trash pileups, trucker bombing next level, #### bags, flip flop non english speaking mofos, know it all selfish headset sissies constant conversations everywhere, the list goes on. Its like a #### circus, if you can think of something super rediculous its about to happen if not already.

 

It's not the truck stop's fault. It's the politicians that allow this type of person to flood our country in seemingly unlimited numbers. Before the Hart Celler Act in 1965 we kept this type of immigration tightly restricted. Now, it's an endless steam of crap replacing us.

 

I would take my 30 at fuel pumps sometimes.

People gave me weird looks when I got out to go transflo some junk and poop when I parked behind them while 10 other pumps were open in the middle of the night.

That J in San Antonio comes to mind.
I pooped there alot.
