    Highly unlikely scenario where a company driver would be willing to risk a fuel theft charge for his employer
    Lol, so a crackhead runs into Speedway, gives them a card to activate the fuel pumps, crackhead scurries out into his truck, (how did he buy it?), pumps the diesel then takes off to siphon it off at a truck stop. Tries to sell it to you, but being the fine outstanding citizen that you are, refuse the stolen fuel and report him to the proper authorities. Sounds like a lot of effort to me. Same too with my spare tire scenario. Parked all the way down at Petro, in that huge parking lot, wonder how he rollled it out 100 plus yards, while waving cheerily at security.

    Or maybe it was a Prime driver, waited too long for a check authorization code on his Comdata to repair a flat, saw my spare and was like what he heck!

    Just two nights ago in Atlanta GA the Petro,a guy driving a white t680 with the name an load runner was about to make a move him and is girl, this young dude is spending all there money to make there shine and later at night try to steal your fuel, but when you kill one of them, o my son was a good young man why you had to kill him, I told my 3 sons, if you go out there and take what is not yours don't call me, if you go out there and sell some drugs, make sure you have your Bail bonds money, I will go get it for you and come help get you out, in Jamaica we kill people who steal.

    I hate thieves too. I bought a brand new spare and put the biggest padlock I could find on it. Next is locking fuel caps. But really my main problem is finding secure parking in the Atlanta area. If anyone has any leads, please PM me.

    Did you kill someone? Or did a son kill someone? Or did someone close to you get killed in that Petro down there on the west side of atlanta?

    I followed your post well enough but am real shaky on who if anyone got killed down there recently? It's not that good of a truckstop as far as truckstops go from a view of safety and the usual scams that the strangers like to try out on us stupid gullible dumb drivers who actually stopped to get fuel there, myself included.

    I get a hard heart down there in that petro specifically and say "I have nothing for you" or... "That is your story, I cannot help you with that." or something similar. Then escalate as necessary. The Law taint far away because they constantly arrest drivers at the closed up gas station across the road near the ramps and bridges where even more bums hang out and beg money.

    IF you want safe parking, there is a very small truck ternimal used by FFE which I think is KLLM now give them a call and be very NICE. Maybe grovel a little bit, but not too much and ask if you can have a far, far corner of their precious lot which is a few hundred yards from the NW freeway where it interchanges in that massive Spagetti with what I remember as I-75.

    I don't know about the era before 2000 but I rarely observed any nobility in this profession. Even when I did, they were mostly guys who remembered the Watergate as it unraveled. Extinct species, sadly.
