    Its insured jon jon ...for more than it's worth. Lol .
    And as violence prone as people are these days I'm happy it worked out the way it did .
    I think some of these confrontations occur in part due to lack of tact on the part of the approachee.

    Back to the topic at hand- Thats too funny with the southern refrigerated truck-

    Now,I know most of you pick on Fed Ex and their Pick of the litter drivers--
    But I'll defend them in this particular case because when hauling a set.....You cant back those into a parking spot- Most of those linehaul drivers are moving at night.......Unless their on the Turnpikes or Tollroads- They have to make Due what they can at a truckstop.

    Yeah I know they aren't the Brightest bulbs out there- but they Need a spot for a few- UPS do the same thing

    Exactly. You never know what the other guy was going thru. Maybe he didn’t sleep well last night and can’t drive anymore too tired to drive. I’d rather I get blocked in I knock his door tell him to pull her up and I get out rather than hearing another story on the news about a sleepy trucker. Now I’ve had a few reply with “figure it out”. Well buddy you opened a can of worms.

    I have been blocked in several times over the years and probably some more, usually at a pullout or rest area. I have never had a problem when asking anyone to let me out, in fact they generally expect it. no problem, that I see with it.

    I have had to have a few move over the years. They understood why I asked them to move. I’ve even waited long enough for them to circle back around so they can have my spot a few times.

    At the J in Ogden UT today, buddy pulls up and parks at the pumps. Gets out with his bag and shirt on a hanger. I say, "you know we both know where you're headed, but would it be such a chore to go and park?" Well you can pretty much figure out his response, I just shook my head. Self entitled pr#ck.

    I think I would’ve pulled a valve stem or two after he left.

    I don't know, but it may have done some good to have let the manager know. I did see the manager reem a guy big time when he returned his towel, for parking in the fuel island. I was waiting to get my towels and when he got through reeming him, the guy started slinking off, the manager told him to wait, they weere looking at the cameras trying to figure out who took his hood off while he was in the shower. I pretty much had to get down in the floor, I was laughing so hard. . LOL
