    I think over half those trucks in there are permanent residents. I've seen people use their person cars to block spots, before the J started towing them. The car parking next to the bobtail parking used to be noth but people living in their cars, after dark. As trashy as that place is now, It was so much worse a few years ago

    Now driving a day cab and tanker it’s nice just park at a motel and the only noise is the tv on while I fell asleep. Or worse, some idiot slamming the door across the hall. Some people have no manners!!:mad:

    The unacceptable is what I saw last night when a Prime idiot with the fairings out parked nosed in which limited the maneuvering space for the spot next to him, made it impossible to back in for everybody except a bobtail. Even without fairings out it would have been not much better.

    I see them also leaving the fairings out at rest areas. Maybe one day, someone will have had it enough and will bust in to a deserved spot and they will have to pick up their fairings from the ground. I itched to do it myself too many times already and I am a patient man..

    THIS.

    Incompetant, inconsiderate, unprofessional Aholes taking up space on planet earth because they can't back and don't want to sleep with ear plugs and because they're afraid to get their hood taken off. This is why nosers with their arse hanging out get no respect and deserve none. They are the scum of the pee lot and that's saying something

    Dumb question, what does fairings out mean?

    That's the only thing I can think of. I don't see many of them.

    OKAAAY, I have never seen anything like that at all. It seems like it would be a pain when a guy was ready to bump a dock, or open the doors for any reason.

    I would have to agree because I couldn't tell you the last time I've seen them.

    I can see where they would work, but I doubt they do enough to put up with the aggravation.
