    Thought I was about to see a fight here at this flying j Im doing my reset at in houston. This j has almost 3/4 of the lot marked as reserved. Only free spots are on the outsides of the lot. Driver was backing into last free spot and another driver went around and pulled through from other side. Dirty move....too many selfish me, myself and I ppl out here these days. Bit ridiculous though having most of the spots reserved here. Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't charge 18$ a night.
     
    Lonesome and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

    Nearly every 7 I've hooked to I've had to fight the red glad hand to get it to fit properly and half of them the rear is out of square on level ground. I friggin' hate seeing them on my loads.

    Picked up at Academy Sports after my reset was up in Katy, Tx and get there 3am and nobody in office so the guard had me drop my empty and told me to come back at 0600. Load info said I could show up 3am. Sucks because I ended up in Houston morning rush instead of getting through at 0330. Drop in WM then turn and burn to Reno. Wish they would always preplan like this, no reason a driver can't have two loads on them all times, unless the driver is one that likes to sit a lot.
