Something that really ticked me off...

see it every day.have signs that read fuel only and no parking on the fuel island.is it most truckers are just ignorant or can't read?

 

yep, an everyday occurrence from the ignorant few.

no, they cannot read, not do they even really care. they are INDEED TO LAZY to drive around to look for a parking space. what IS NEEDED is a REAL cop, being paid "detail pay" to enforce the rules....

it's a win-win-win, situation...

they are told to move NOW, you get to fuel up, the cop gets to retire to the Bahama's....

 

Jeez, don't you know that these fuel island campers can barely drive their trucks to start with. Do you really want them to try and get into a parking space before they waddle to the buffet or the fast food counter? The parking lot crashes will be more and worse then they are now!

 

When at all possible,

time your fuel breaks at off peak hours.

Also pertains to showers,

so much easier when most trucks are on the road.

2-3 PM seems to work really well !!

YMMV !!!!

 

Adding some fuel to the fire.. the driver who pulled ahead. You fuel, go in and hit the restroom, grab a cup, do the quick go around, update log, AND THE MOFO is still there.
I'll run through the island.. restroom, grab my cup of joe, and getouttathere..
If I put 150 gal in and washed my windows and mirrors, went in and did my business, AND your still there!? You deserve my wrath, you get all my Newbie wrath.
I'm a newbie btw

 

It's just pure inconsideration, they got theirs so f you...Even when they pull up some will take 20-30mins in the TS...If you know, or think, you're going to be that long, park!

 

Any more it takes about 15 to 20 minutes of standing in the line to get waited on to even pay.

Have you noticed the reduced amount of workers at the fuel desk/convenience store anymore?

 

This for all the drivers who thinks the fuel island is a parking lot, sure is , look at your fuel ticket , the time you get fuel , put the nozzel in the tank , the clock starts, and when you hang the nozzels the clock is still running even if you went in and got your joe and stuff, , plus if you checked your fuel ticket you been charge a extra $76 doller's for parking there, they know you from before and adjust it per time from before thatll cure em if not from there safety dept i know i wacthed a orange pumkin driver go in eat , shower , cause i seen him grab his bag , i met him at chester chiken inside and ask him what hes doing, he just gave me a blank stare and told me to get outa the way, i just yelled at him, ya stupid moron you got trucks lined up behind you way out in the street and few more down the street i couldnt get outa line and almost got late for my delivary stupid moron.
