    I did exactly this at a Petro yesterday afternoon because I was rolling out at 01:30.

    I am simply amazed that you got flack for suggesting using the brain. Speechless. Boggles the mind. I was totally unprepared. Thought that would have been a no brainier, but apparently the no brainers don't agree. So I was wrong. I do apologize to the no brainers out there.

    Not surprised a bit. There always seems to be at least one. I even tried to word it so it wasn’t offensive to anyone. Oh well.

    If we aren't a part of the solution, we are part of the problem.

    Several times I've parked in a legal spot only to have that spot blocked in by "illegal" parked trucks.

    Remember guys, there is ALWAYS room for 1 more truck on the end of a row of parked trucks, even if there are already 4 trucks parked X spaces past the last "legal" spot. If those are full park 3 deep along the curb at the truck stop entrance/exit.

    Keep in mind this thread was started by a 37 year driver, recently returned to Schneider and is driving a truck that "won't shift into 10th". It was going to get stupid in here quick.

    It won't. Keep in mind most guys out here are stupid,lazy,disgusting pieces of trash that can't work well with others in a regular working environment. So they say "Well I reckon I'll drive me a twuk" or " bruh I be Rollin 18 wheels son" or "I move here I buy twuk run Amedica Highway". They do not have any courtesy no common sense no decency no respect no CB. They all think it's going to be easy and make easy money but have no idea what it really takes to be out here. So they quit and the process just keeps rolling over and over....Only a few us actually give a #### to be out here. I understand with newbs it's scary and stressful but I've never clogged fuel lanes or curbs, crapped all over the toilet, courtesy flush always (Excluding California),Never throw trash on the ground, don't crap in bags,Don't pour pee on Pavement (Only on Grass or Bush far from any Pathways),Don't take hours in the showers, Wash my Hands, I don't wear Crocs,Sandals or Sweatpants with Poo Stains. Don't get me wrong I'm not some Entitled/Racist Person but the stuff I see out here amazes me too.

    Don’t quit just yet! The drivers are becoming more professional by the minute, honing their auto transmission skills and displaying new ways to break skirts on trailers. AND, they are the models of efficiency, not wasting time pre-tripping equipment, just crank and go!!!

    Got a headlight out? There’s a break down app for that. These new one piece windshields have plenty of space for two or three GPS units. Yep, with slip on crocs, elastic waistband sweatpants, and moist towelettes for a pseudo bath, the industry is on a fast track downhill to sloppiness, and the jake brakes aren’t working. Full steam ahead SEAT WARMERS!!!!(formerly steering wheel holders)
