    I assume you frown upon today's drivers wearing flip flops at the fuel island... from Cowboy boots to flip flops, go figure. Next thing drivers will be carrying "man purses" into the TV room!

    This has got to be the most ignorant,far fetched bs I have ever read.

    Did you get the us Marshall involved if someone refused to move? Were you also a navy seal prior to trucking?

    If I tried that TODAY..........It would probably not happen, No Respect anymore, Nor common sense.


    Its just Couirteous to Park in the back if your Done at 2-3 pm..... It dont take a person with a juris doctrate to figure that out.

    In a pinch, I've been known to pull in behind a small strip mall. Just pick one that doesn't have a 24 hr. grocery store. If there are houses nearby, don't idle. That's a sure way to have LEO knocking on your door.

    Interesting enough my dad drove from 84 to 2004 and says it was a brotherhood. Nothing like today where you call each other names. Calling someone gay in the 90's is the same as it is today. That word hasn't changed. Never once has my dad or his friends woke up any mega drivers to move from "his" parking spot. Back then I imagine that would end in you the waker getting you ### kicked by the wakee.

    If your running that upper east coast it seams to be challenging. Don't park on the ramps in Texas. If you find a Wal-Mart (at least in Colorado) park towards the back or side of the building if theres not trucks parked up front. Just leave enough room for Deliveries that start around 4am. Even better spots are in the back areas of sams club and some Costco's. If you know your going to be driving all day then try to start your day early like 3-4 am then you finish in time to find good parking at truck stops.
     
    Stuka and Skydivedavec Thank this.
