Yard etiquette?

I have put that truck anywhere it can fit and without fail have 20 or 30 more around me when awake in the morning. It does not matter where.

I pulled in one evening in upstate NY near three semis sleeping. If I was not so tired I would have examined the semis to be generator trucks used by small traveling carnivals.

The following morning I had a complete ferris wheel being tested on this side and two generator trailers howling on that side with a entire parking lot of some acres filled with a carnival. The people building it left me just enough pavement to make a right turn and get out straight. Be the last time I do that sort of thing in the summer time.. ha. (And it was...)

 

You must have been tired, you done went and drove right up in the middle of da carnival. lol

 

I'm so sorry that you feel insulted. After accidentally watching a few of the videos you posted here, and seeing how badly you insult the majority of the trucking community, I thought you'd have thicker skin. My sincere apologies.

 

I slept through the noise of the setting up. Remember the night before around 11 PM was nothing on the property except three trailer trucks. At 8 am we had a full on carnival. Cotton candy trailer 10 feet from drivers window too. It would be years before I told that story and never to the boss. It was also the last time we used that kind of situation to sleep for the new day.

 

Park in front of the dock doors go check in and grab a bag of chips out of the vending machine and of course use the rest room and saunter in your flip flops back out to your truck , while you got everyone in the yard jacked up pull out your phone and play on Facebook , don't worry about the 2 dozen no parking signs you walked by to check in or the huge sign on the dock door that says the same , I see it every day and the stupidity does not faze me anymore.

 

If its a busy lot the parking anfew spaces iver can end up as 10’ by the time its full so someone gets left out. Maybe just common curtosity. Or tue pack mentality. I always pull in if im bobtailed

 

I parked at Iowa 80 close to the smaller building close to the fuel island. Partner and I went inside to hang out for a while, look around, etc. Came back out side, drivers side trailer had 3 separate points of damage along my trailer from front to back.

Somehow it looked like someone tried 3 times to back and hit me each time. Then after he was finished tearing up the side of my trailer, he just drives away to a different spot. When I got back there was a flatbedder there and I know it wasnt him.
