    Well....I parked in a dirt lot at a UT rest area last night.....Purposely parked the rig at an angle and next to the curb at the cab.....
    I'll be dayumed if reefer-tugger squeezed in on the short side.....Tires hanging off the curb and partially blocking the ramp to get back out on the 15.....

    And there was still plenty of room to park in the rest of the lot.......:biggrin_2552: :smt017 :biggrin_2554: :confused3: :scratch: :smt102 :biggrin_25526:

    You need to invest in reefer repellent.

    Call me lazy. I look for the easiest spot in the parking lot to back into, a lot of times it's on the backrow.
    There is always somebody going to be complaining anyways, not much I can do about it.

    We all have safety triangles...wonder if putting those up in the spot next to you will keep the spot empty...

    A load of salted cattle hides or....






























    Park next to the showers......Oh wait....that's three things.....:biggrin_2559:

    I thought the safety triangles were to help guide you in kind of like a runway. I can't figure out what these lines on each side of me are supposed to mean.

    i just made the last hole for the night in the back row of this truck stop, i was running my reefer to, load of candy bar's, very high doller load, anyway i was park'ed in between the line's, too, in the back row,in back a truck too my right, i guess he didn't see the orange cone in front of this empty stall , and he even went around three time's too, too look at it , in he backs in , all i remember, is looking out my right window was his corner of the trailer looking too me right window -door , he fell and back into a old drain , now a sink hole , his dot bumper was on payment and was leaning heavy too the right, he was stuck tight, and maybe a good foot from my right flaring , took most of the night too get him un stuck,with two big wrecker's , cause i wasnt moving' till the cop's got there, so never back in at night with out get out and walk it , if not sure.
