    You have every right to park there as anyone else.The signage does not give specifics and
    you would get more greif parking in car section.
    Tell the next driver hasseling you to park his azs sooner,and get a spot before they fill up.
    His failure to plan aint your problem.
    I would also apply a sign on my window that " if you disturb me,you do it at your own risk."
    Maybe buy one of those nice big fatty cans of bear mace.If they wanna beat on your window,
    after reading warning sign,then apply said bear mace liberally,then ear plugs for yourself to help
    drown out crying,while you try to resume sleeping.
    Im sure the guy was tired,and the usual pissy mood that follows,but thats some balls.
    I pity the stupid basurd that beats on my window while sleeping."I suffer from night terrors officer,
    I don't remember doing any of that":biggrin_25519:

    Let's see if I can be as simple minded as your remark. He must be an O/O, or L/O and has been running so hard just to pay his bills. Did I really write that?

    Please note: this isn't the way I see different parts of this industry. We are all in it for the same reasons, you to pay for your truck and keep it on the road with all the heart ache that comes with being an O/O, L/P. Me, to be able to hang up my keys every weekend for the last 31 years and making sure I paid off my house, sent 3 kids through college and took care of my retirement. You see, we are all after the same goals in life. Some of us go about it differently then others.

    Some companys will fire you after 3 e-log violations for running out of time. Plus if your OTR you dont need to run more than 9 hours a day unless you like to reset your hours every week.

    Dude, being on E-Logs the last 3 years I'm pretty adept at knowing how to run with them. I reset at home, and prior to getting on my dedicated run ran produce out of California and never had an issue with them. I respect your opinion, I don't respect some douche bag doing what this pea brain did.

    Let's all say, he was a douche bag!

    Company or O/O he was a tard, board rules prohibit me from posting any more but hey it is all understood a rabid K9 should have chewed his dingle berry's off.

    Handled it better than I would have.
