    I told him I would think about it, then rolled up my window and closed the blinds. He left shortly after.

    I'd have looked around for John Quiñones to come popping out from the show "What Would You Do?".

    i'd have told him to go pound sand. since he was already parked, not like he just got there. even still, once i park, i stay parked. no need to move for ANYONE except say a construction worker, or utility worker that absolutely NEEDS that spot to perform thier jobs. like repairing a light pole or fixing a deep pothole. then if one still does not move, the detail cop or truck stop manager would come out, and ask you, maybe even give you a meal voucher or a paid spot no charge.

    otherwise, never give up your spot.

    I wont move for anyone except for the police or the truck stop manager. But I also dont acknowledge people when they come to my door and try to talk to me.

    I didn't know you could leave your truck at a truck stop for a couple of days.

    What happens when there are no spots left at a truck stop and you're pretty much over your 11-hour daily limit? Are you forced to drive to another stop?

    People have to go home once in a while man. Not everybody can put a truck in their driveway.

    I have left my truck at truckstops for a few days plenty of times. Taking a 34=mini vacation, rental car, hotel, family nearby, etc... i will not now nor ever apologize for that.

    Crap when i ran Syracuse 3x’s a week, would get a room at the Holiday Inn Express behind the Flying J in New Milford, Pa 2x’s a week. Always parked at the J when i did.

    & that ‘lil bar across the way had some pretty good grub too :)
     
    Brucely Thanks this.
