    Can we do the same thing to the American truckers that do this crap, and I'm talking actual White, Union (UPS) drivers, because I see a crap load of them do it, that park and block the fuel island while they take their breaks, take a shower and the run off at the mouth when asked by other drivers and facility staff to move?
     
    Mr Uturn Thanks this.

    Like i said as much as id love to blame you guys for it. ive seen everyone doing it regardless of where they are from. So feel free. I have no issues with someone getting their ### handed to them on a platter for being a dick. Regardless of where your from. Hell if these idiots knew doing it was near assured to get their ### kicked, it may stop the behaviour.
     
    Siinman and NorthEastTrucker Thank this.

    I go to a LOT of flea markets and yard sales. Locks are cheap and plentiful. I put em on back of trailers with a 3x5 card explaining why.
    One time I fueled up at a TA. Guy that was next to me fueled as I was walking from my parking spot in for a shower. He and his other half got out with their shower bags and started in. I said they should park as there were plenty of spots. The girl told me to mind my own business. Ok.
    Came out, cut the trailer lines under the trailer, cut the door seal, and went on my way.
    Now, you can stay all you want. Was it right? No. But made me feel much better.

    I'm actually a US citizen, but you got my point.

    It's funny you mention UPS. Yesterday morning, at a Loves, I was pulling out of a parking spot to go to the fuel pump, and I had to stop because I could see a UPS daycab was coming in the entrance. He pulls into the only open lane, with nobody in front of him, (so he could have at least pulled through), gets out and goes inside. He was driving a CNG powered truck. These people have 0 regard for anybody. So, guess who loses? Loves. I just left and got fuel later somewhere else. If the T/S's don't care, because they know it's HUGE problem, neither do I.

    You mean Indians/punjab based out of Canada/california? Owners of every small truckstop along I40?

    currently in Edmonton, 0 Canadian workers everywhere I go.

    Canadistan is a great name for this country now.

    Recently been going into Canada. I noticed their aggressive behavior in their white crapcadias.
    Luckily Ive got my US 389, not governed to 100kmh and fly by them when safe to do so.

    Gee, I'd just stick with the old tried-and-true 'axle grease under the door latch' trick, and put it under BOTH doors. You can get such grease in a very 'pocketable' tube, you know.....
