washing trucks at the fuel island!!!!!!

I would wash my tank off if a little fuel spilled on it...

And i will place a third vote on flying threw the fuel island and not slowing to look... That made me very upset...

 

I never really noticed this until a month ago actually. And then I was wondering what good it did because all it was, was a rubber hose with an open end that you need to jam a finger in, in order to get ahlf decent pressure...and it hardly did anything at all, lol.

 

I actually seen a guy with a bucket and soap one time doing a fast cleaning job on his truck at a fuel island.. I remember what state it was in as well, Texas..

 

Well I would rinse the truck off all or spray down the windshield if the I could not get it clean.

There use to be a Truck Stop in Alabama off of I 65 that offered FREE TRUCK WASH with Fill up. They had a guy go from stall to stall washed the trucks as the driver went in to pay.

Pulling up? Providing there is room I do. I been to a few Truck stops, mostly they are Pilots that you could not pull up.

Once I was in line to get my fuel ticket, and the guy behind me was calling in pestering the fuel desk about me sitting there. I was pulled up. After I got my ticket I went out laughing at the guy, he was still filling up. I told him by him calling in Pestering the fuel Desk delayed every one.

 

Hell, I feel like the frog from the game Frogger every time I try to walk from my nice, safely parked truck to the darn store.

I was in Missouri last week walking out of the Flying J after picking up a scale ticket and this IDIOT from hell came barreling through the small cramped parking lot like he was in the Daytona 500.

I'm not lying either. He had to be going at least 30 mph. Scared the crap outta me.

 

long as we're all witching...

when you do pull up... pull up in your own lane moron!!!!

I was at the pilot in des moines about three weeks ago...

a panther straight truck fueled, then pulled forward half in my lane and half in his...

I fueled, went to the rest room, bought my coffee, paid and came out and the guy was still there. me and the guy in "his" lane trapped.

after the guy came out he sat there... doing paper work... I went and told him to move and he smiled, oh sorry no problem...

5 minutes later, the other guy in his lane went up and told him basically move it or lose it...

he moved...


I think a lot of people don't realize they aren't getting the crap kicked out of them... because the other guy is weighing the delay versus the satisfaction factor...

it's a lot closer than they imagine...

 

The only "WTF" case of this that I've seen was at the Pilot in Ft. Pirce,FL. Friday afternoon, middle of summer, and all the luel lines were already backed up to about Jacksonville....and here this knucklehead has the bucket and his own brush, doing a full-on wash at the fuel island.
And people wonder why I drink......

 

You know alot of these problems could be taken care of by the people that run the truck stops. It wouldn't be much effort to have a person that walks around and makes sure that the parking stalls are used correctly and things run smooth at the fuel island.

 

I don't near as much of this as in the past. It really doesn't bother me a bit if they've got their own brush & the island's aren't busy.

I'd rather see that someones there & doing something to their truck verses a truck that's been parked at the island for 30 minutes or longer & no one around. I've seen drivers go in & get the fuel attendent to make the page about moving trucks when done fueling just so they could pull up & go inside without even getting fuel.

 

I was in WalMart with my wife the other day . The woman in front of us emptied her cart in front of the checkout and when her stuff was bagged she walked off with the bags leaving the empty cart at the register in front of us . I told my wife she was probably an off duty truck driver . She'd be back to move the cart after she got lunch at the subway in the store .
