    If drivers feel they can't back into a spot or pull out of a spot because a truck is nosed in then maybe they better think of a different carrier then because trucking ain't for them.

    I agree! Why did you quote my thing in that, didn't have anything to do with it. I've parked every which way, and have never hit anyone! I have however had idiots hit me.

    Well I have been out here a while, and my step father is a trucker from when I was little. I do know, and I can still sleep!

    Just pulled into a Pilot at 11:30pm and found a few spots open. (Not a big fan of them so don't look for me at one!!!) And low n behold 2 of the open spots have "Kodera" next to them. No reason to have nosed in. And actually it would have been WAY easier to back in. I started to hit one of the spots but stopped because, of course, the trailer was WAY out past the hood of the next truck making it hard for me to see not to hit his hood.
    Learn to back in people. It ain't that hard!!!!!!

    I gotta somewhat agree with you on that one, seriously. i work with a small company O/O's, and theres three drivers i do alot of loads with that always nose in cause they simply suck at backing up. Not that they cant, cause ive seen them do it before, but they just see it as a esay way to park. LOL kinda weird but ok with me i guess.

    No, learning to quickly reach impending lockup with the front brake saves lives. Loud pipes stoke egos and annoy everyone else.

    Yep, if you nosing in effects the ability of others to use adjacent spots, you're being an inconsiderate ###.

    Thanks for keeping it classy!:biggrin_25513:
