    As a kid in the 70s, I remember guys going through all their gears in the truckstop. It's nothing new.They just love to shift, I guess

    At that time you could run through 5 gears and still be crawling.

    I don't go that fast. 15-20 is more than fast enough. I'm used to going that speed though most places I load are speed limited to 15 on yards.

    Find a pocket full of 50mm steel balls works real good for getting their attention. Also a call to the company with their truck and trailer number serves as a great deterrent.

    If you are doing 15-20 in a parking lot then you are part of the problem. Speed limit in tight spaces like truckstops is 8-10 miles an hour. Any faster, you need to take your butt somewhere else.
    You don't believe me, ask the driver in North Carolina, whos in prison for going through a Loves way to fast ad killing a driver that stepped out between parked trucks.
    Or maybe you can explain to his wife and kids why you think it's OK when their daddy won't be coming home anymore.
