    It might not be a bad idea to write up, suspend, or outright terminate truck drivers who dump / leave trash on the parking lots, instead of properly disposing it. All this is doing is making life an absolute living H-E-L-L for the remaining truck drivers, especially when it comes to overnight parking.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

    Lots of videos like that, problem is the people it is directed at don't watch them and don't care anyway.
    They're not suddenly going to wise up.

    I’ve been out here for seven years and I’ve already seen it at several receivers. The year before I can pull up park right on the street right outside where I was delivering the night before. You noticed pisss bottles and trash scattered throughout the area along the sidewalk. And you know it won’t be long before the no parking signs go up. You deliver to the same place a year later and sure enough they don’t allow you to park there anymore. Now you’ve gotta go drive around in circles trying to find someplace to park. It’s because drivers are throwing their bottles and everything else outside.

    Drivers who are caught on tape dumping trash all over the place should be disciplined and / or terminated for it. In the long run, it would make life so much easier for the remaining truck drivers, especially when it comes to parking.

    I had to ban overnight parking at my facility years ago. It was absurd. Needed a cleanup crew to go out in the mornings haha.

    Even during the day, a common move after being unloaded is for a truck to pull off to the side, then throw trash on the ground and sweep out their trailer and leave everything on the ground.

    Last week, a guy filled his DEF tank using jugs, and just threw the 4 empty jugs off to the side on the ground right where he was backed in at the dock. He seemed surprised when I made him pick them up lol.

    I just don’t understand it. It’s not a big deal for me to deal with my trash. I don’t know why it is for others. I think it’s just disgruntled drivers out there thinking it’s a way of getting revenge or something. I mean all you have to do is have some plastic bags. You just bagged the crap up, tie it off And throw it out when you stop somewhere to fuel in a trashcan. Or the rest stop they always have trash cans. There’s no excuse to just be throwing trash all over the place where we are allowed to park.
