Being blocked in by stupid window licking drivers is getting insane. I always park when I can with the idea of no way, no window licker could possibly park there. No way. It's not working anymore. The stupid is getting too hot. I know parking is getting tight, but going three deep in front of a row of pull outs is beyond the beyonds. I know, I know, it's the scum bags who can't even read their own CDL's, but come on. Spatial awareness is not a cultural thing.

I just won't park at truck stops. Fortunately it works with how I run

I have not slept overnight at a truck stop in a long time for this reason.
D.Tibbitt and hope not dumb twucker Thank this. -
I have a few strategies when I park to avoid that. I look out ahead and imagine if there's any way some muppet could block me in. If it's a drive way directly in front, that's ideal.

I too have had it happen when I thought there was no way it could happen. I park at truck stops about 5 times a year, if that.

Even the smaller rest areas can be tricky these days.
D.Tibbitt, FearTheCorn, hope not dumb twucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
I was just going to reply about the rest areas too. You can find drivers trying to be creative and park side by side behind a row of correctly parked trucks and when the parked driver leaves no one can use the proper parking spaces because of these non-caring drivers.

That’s one thing I do like about going local home every night. 2-3 trucks maybe in the yard so room to park. No worry about parking for the night.
