Funny things you have seen at truckstops

oh wow LOL what in the world

 

I just started training my first time out on the road. We park in the back at the flying j in ft worth/Dallas, the one in front of that blue weiner terminal.

We see a working girl on the corner and the pimp is walking down the opposite side of the street.

I’m eating my lunch and out of nowhere, another girl comes flying down between the shrubs screaming at the other girl. This my territory ##### etc etc and starts beating the hell out of her. The pimp comes over to intervene and the pigs show up and arrested all three of them. First day truck driving. I was like wtf did I get myself into. Lol

 

I was looking for an appropriate place to post this, so maybe this will work.

To the woman who works for... Well, let's just leave that out of it.

But I'm sure you're a lovely lady when you're not screaming at me in a truck stop over how to form a line. I did what the previous three people before me did, but evidently that was not to your satisfaction, so you roared around me and the two trucks in back of me, and cut in line to form your own line.

I'm sure you're a really nice lady when you're not doing that.

Sometimes I think truckers are underpaid. And then sometimes I think they make what they deserve.

 

10 years ago I drove into the Oklahoma City ta truck stop to scale out a load right next to the scale there was a guy sleeping in the grass with his bedroll under his head or so it appeared it was an especially hot day outside hovering around 96 degrees and I figured maybe this guy had drank a little too much and was in a heavy sleep and didn't want him to wake up with third-degree Burns so after I scaled my load and parked I walked over to wake him up unfortunately he was dead what do you must have been pretty happy because he had the biggest smile on his face that I had ever seen and it wasn't because he was bloated or stretched out by the Sun when the police and coroner showed up they determined that he had probably only been dead a little over an hour that's the strangest thing I've ever seen a guy dies next to the cat scale with the biggest smile I've ever seen

 

Lmao that place is a #### hole, thats why i try to stay out of trucks stop in any city if i cab avoid it , they are all like that...im surprised there was even a place to park there

 

If I remember right, it was small and there was no parking. That’s why we were parked on that street in the back with a dozen other drivers. This was a little over 12 years ago and we were also avoiding entering the weiner terminal cause of the safety lane. This was before weiner got their safety maintenance up to snuff. You had to pull through the safety lane at terminals, could take a few hours to get up front and then the time for repairs if something was faulty. They typically pulled you into the office to complain about some insignificant infractions. All while pioneering the predecessors to aobr/eld.

 

Omg i think my husband and I saw that too! We were told the guy had just straight up left it there and that they were waiting for a tow truck to come get it off their lot.
