    I pulled up to the fuel island in the Pilot truck stop on Exit 93 in Stonington Ct last night,looked over to the next pump and saw a"driver" in a ratty old ex Yellow Freight day cab sleeping.After fueling and pulling off the island,I went inside,I came out 15 minutes later,and he was waking up.

    Truck stops need to enlarge the parking lots. Anymore there just isn't enough parking out here. Darn driver should have pulled into the grass and took his nap.... lol... It is very scary.

    Its ALOT scarier when you pass one asleep on the interstate.He may have been waiting for his codriver to finish his lunch.

    lol I've seen someone fall asleep on a forklift.. wow, talk about sleepy! This post reminded me of that day.. this forklift wasn't the sit down kind either.. The guy was standing up on a stand up fork and was parked in front of the windgate at our warehouse, apparently the breeze made him so comfortable he dosed off for at least 10 mins standing up and all.. I couldn't believe it.. so I blared my horn right next to him to wake his ##### up! lol scary though.. could have gotten himself killed or killed someone else
