    Now come on they have to go fast because it takes the 20 minutes to back into a straight parking spot. That way they can get on their video games faster. F##$ idiots with with out concern for safety. They are showing you their skills be racing around the lot, then their true skills show in their inability to back up.

    I do it because its a form of both showing off when I can get into the high side before the driveway, and it intimidates the weak and slow mided.

    One of the reasons I prefer independently owned truck stops.
    Don't have to worry about speeders when the lot has potholes in it :p

    Maybe all truck stops should put potholes or random dips in the lot to force drivers to go slower. Sucks that needs to be done but people have no common sense or consideration nowadays and it would do the job.

    I agree. And yet even the potholes don't seem deter speeders in the Love's lot in Sioux Falls SD (and y'all know that surface is HORRIBLE)...I done lost count of the amount of times I've either nearly been hit or run over there.

    But is it really worth it if you have to replace half your rig from all the pothole damage?
