NEVER pull in head first ... those guys are jerks!
One time me and my (ex) teammate was starting to back into the last spot in the TS and ZOOM! this guy parks nose first in our spot, me and my teammate looked at each other and laughed -
Park away from everyone?? Where do you guys run. I do 48 and usually am in a full lot by the end of the night.
Projektf350 Thanks this. -
Nose in is rude, selfish, and dangerous. You stick out farther, you cannot see well to back out, and everyone has to wait while you figure out how to get out in the morning.

airforcetoo Thanks this. -
I park on the scale or right at the entrance or exit.
Projektf350 and cetanediesel Thank this. -
Can't tell you how many times I go to back into a spot and there'll be 3, 4 or however many spots and im trying to back into one but manage not end up in the spot I intended. Especially if there's 3 spots I'll go for the middle and end up on the left of right of the middle spot.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2truckon and Charli Girl Thank this. -
I try to park off to myself to keep the noise level at a minimum (reefers, heavy idlers, etc). Though it won't matter because they will find you anyway. Stay away from end of the row parking. That is where many a hoods have been lost.

Well I guess you have to, because the guy parked directly on the scale is inside eating and showering.airforcetoo Thanks this.

I don't really care where I end up. I do try to find easy Spots, for me and everybody else.
Also it helps if It's hard to be blocked in.
Like now parked across from the Shop at a TA..
I prefer the Spots next to me are taken by the time I go to Sleep, this way I know nobody is going to take my hood of when they try to back in next to me.
