CRST Malone should fire that idiot. If not for the accident then certainly for being a grown ### man wearing flip flops in violation of company policy.

Well I've already mentioned numerous times that particular Flying J is the bane of many a truck driver's existence. I only get fuel there now. If I can help it I go further down to the Petro in Raphine or the Pilot in Staunton.
Still, give it up to the CRST drivers-they can't avoid an accident if they even tried. Even in a truck stop. Hammer down around that corner driver! -
I'm guessing he couldn't get it in a real spot. He was there when I arrived, and there were plenty of spots still open. Stayed there at least 2-3 hours.x1Heavy Thanks this.

Dude you cant park a spread like a van, I might be wrong .
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Still just speechless about securement and stunt team.

I attempt to park in a spot that's easy to get out of. Also one that I hopefully do not get hit. I was hit at oak grove about 90 days ago. Down past the truck wash in the straight back in spots. Wtf! Yes it was a white Volvo and yes he took off.
I will remain silent on the securment the Driver was trained to do it right and has a handbook if He forgets and a mentor to call. -
Thanks for the good pictures, @Mudguppy .
I am by no means saying it was Crete's fault, but look how far his nose is sticking out there. Compare his nose to the yellow parking line.
See the KW parked by the Crete truck? He has his nose back like it should be.
Lesson to be learned here. Keep your nose back and out of harms way.

Lepton1, x1Heavy, Toomanybikes and 1 other person Thank this. -
Just wondering how many drivers. Take the time to help other drivers get back into a tight spot?
-
I won't if the driver is getting out and looking. I think it helps them develop a feel for where things are.
But I often see people running over to be a hero and give them free fish.
I suppose it depends on the situation.Mudguppy and Old school 362 Thank this. -
I am quite certaintrains their drivers yellow paint on the parking lot is a designated reserved spot for them. Seems to be a common theme with those that can't back.
