I realize that a truck stop is a public and shared place as well as a noisy place.... from reefers, especially if they have a squeaky belt... once was woke up when the guy next to me was getting a tire changed...
If you want a peaceful night sleep get a motel room.... there is always going to be a lot going on at a truck stop... -
Some people try and control everything and everyone around them.. just use your flashers and leave the horns out of it.. as for headlights... theyrè always on by default in my current truck. until the tractor brake is set.. so please dont fall aprt at the seams when some drivers have them on

I agree,there are many lots to practice your backing skills other then trkstops.
-
And how often do you think those other places are available ?

My trainer made me practice in truck stops. No horns though.
Jake_Blue Thanks this. -
.Here there are many big lots perfect for backing.Even at a terminal while waiting for a load practice backing where they keep the trailers.If someone wants to practice backing at a trkstop just show respect and do it away from the other trks because as you know this is a 24/7 many drive at night and their sleep is important.There are a lot of good times during training to practice backing.If they choose a trk stop just make sure there is a lot of open area and far away from other trks.Most Pilots and Loves is not the ideal place to train.Alot of TA'S Petros or some off the wall trkstop with lots of parking would probably be a better place if done during the day like after 8 am.At night no unless you wanna see a lot of angry drivers.
