    Maybe you have never been treated unfairly in your life for no reason. I have had friends who have admited to me to be biased because they dont like someone. I admit I made the woman angry by telling her it was ridicoulous at the same time she saw my expression in my face being disgusted. I know she was having a bad day. Many receivers have grabbed bills of lading off my hands with force because they hate their job. TA/Petro are huge, by the looks of things they dont care if a single or a couple of drivers are abused. Pretty much what I'm doing is telling people what happened to me. You may not have any other option but to fuel there. Or maybe you might not be driving currently. The fact is, that more drivers need to speak up if they are treated poorly. My jaw dropped when the cops knocked in my shower. In my mind I was like seriously? What did I do? I was like what a joke. Even if you dont believe me thats fine. But why is corporate TA cowardly avoiding the situation?

    See. Just when you're certain you've seen all the road has to offer, someone getting taken out of the shower by the police.

    Repeating "this is ridiculous " multiple times was not helping things. Having a "disgusted look" was not helping things. Making a mountain out of a minor inconvenience didn't help things.

    How did you end up getting into a shower?

    When I was in the shower after they fixed the problem. Which I never found out what was the problem. Since my ticket was swapped. Two cops knocked in my shower door. I felt like I was going to be justified by corporate TA/Petro because I had obviously not done anything as bad as to have the cops called on me. Again I asked the cops what did I do to deserve being kicked out? They replied we dont know, they just want you off the premises. Dont you think if I would have done something really crazy the cops would have known the reason and maybe even get arrested? I'm almost 100 percent positive she has done it to others just because of her ego that she got angry. I lose nothing in reality. I will just fuel somewhere else, and I run team. I seriously thought TA/Petro had a backbone of being ethical and professional since they have a huge popular business. Boy was I wrong. I guess even big corporations can be managed by men who think like children and have zero respect for people who make it possible for them to bring food to their own tables.

    One bad experience doesn't mean you need to boycott. She should be fired yes

    Well I'm glad that's one less parking spot I gotta worry about being taken when I arrive at TA/Petro. Thank you @TruckersDelight

    Did you get your money back on the shower? That's the least they could of done. Not sure why the police would eject you unless you'd started threatening people? And before they asked you to leave i would of thought they'd get your side of the story so something don't add up here is there more to this story then your letting on?
