Hanging out at the fuel island.

I can and will talk about whatever I want to. I can't even believe you are even comparing the 2. A reserved parking spot ain't the fuel island. I guarantee I am not the only one who has spent the night in reserved without paying for it. That's neither here nor there. Me doing that ain't holding up drivers from working. Now if they tell me that I need to move or pay, I'll do what I gotta do. What's even more flabbergasting to me, is that you come on here, with a bunch of drivers, and actually admit that you have no problem blocking the fuel island!

 

If you do it will be @BeHereNow97 .. with his self entitlement attitude.. .. make sure you kick him in the nadds..

 

Oh yeah Bryan you are 100% correct, my fault. Me stealing 10 minutes, at MAXIMUM, time from another driver at the fuel island is totally worse than you stealing $15 from another drivers pocket and leaving them #### out of luck having a place to park during the middle of the night when they have no more HOS left because the truck stop employees won't enforce paid parking so they're not going to go knock on your door to make you move. You're right. What I'm doing is WAY worse.

Dude, get off your high horse. My whole point of me responding to you that way is because I remembered you specifically arguing in that thread against the state of Nebraska building more rest areas and in that same thread, you went on to laugh (by typing "lol") about stealing other drivers paid parking spots because "some truck stops don't check or won't enforce the policy". So you wanted no more secure parking built from the state of Nebraska but you laughed about stealing paid parking spots from other drivers. Makes sense.

So don't come in here acting all Holier Than Thou buddy, that ship has long sailed for you.

 

Look I think some of you are blowing what I'm doing way out of proportion. At MAXIMUM I'm delaying (or stealing or taking, however you want to say) 10 minutes of another drivers time. Again, I'm combining the on duty fueling time with the off duty time afterwards to make the 30 minute break. I think some of you are acting as if I'm fueling and then taking the full 30 minute break afterwards. No, that's not the case and I explained that clearly in my posts (unless it's late at night during off peak periods, then it doesn't matter how long I sit at the fuel island). On Duty Fueling Time + Off Duty Time afterwards is what I'm combining to equal 30 minutes and to equal my 30 minute break.

And look if I have to wait behind someone for 15 minutes before I can fuel, then when I pull up to fuel after I finish I'll pull up and only take a few minutes to wash my hands and use the bathroom. No need to stretch out my time to 30 minutes if my 30 minute break (AGAIN, On Duty Time + Off Duty Time) is already complete.

90% of drivers do this already since the new rules came into effect where you can use On Duty Time to count as the 30 minute break. It's hardly controversial. You guys are blowing what I'm doing way out of proportion. Instead of getting angry about it, just use it to your advantage like most of us already do.

 

U dont understand dude. Not everybody is an over the road driver... Takeing 20 or 30 minutes out of a local drivers day is detrimental to his entire day and possible entire week.. Local and regional guys are on a tight schedule and when they go to get fuel they need to fuel and get out... And if they run into a ####### like you that doesnt care about anybody else but themselves... And would gladly sit in the furl island when there is 30+ spots open in the truckstop that ucould easily drive 4mph to so u dont kick the elog on drive line..we allwanna kick your ### and one day its gonna happen.

 

Easy amigo. Don’t let this stuff get you taken out.

 

I think you need to calm down. I have been civil and not threatened a single person in this thread.

Take it easy and ask yourself if you would speak like this to someone in real life, based off your own physical size. We are having a discussion, calm down.

 

i have told people like you exactly how I feel in person and would do it again! and those people dont have a clue what to do when someone confronts them over their BS. and then im the bad guy right? because i say #### and call out your cowardess right to your face? you are the entire problem of whats wrong in this industry. Self righteous, dont care about anybody but yourself. Yes you will get your ### kicked one day.and completely deserve it. and i will watch and laugh as you go crying back to your mega company truck.
