    Sorry, If I have to take a dump NOW and the fuel islands are full and you can't get through them to the parking lot, then I'd do exactly what that driver did.

    And while I agree with you that it's wrong to take your time while blocking the fuel pumps during a busy time, I do NOT think that it's respectful to call another trucker stupid on a public non-trucking forum, nor does your own behavior in doing so reflect well on the trucking community as a whole. Thanks for reinforcing the public's negative view of truckers.

    And by the way, you posted the mobile link that can't be viewed by 'normal' browsers.

    So if you had been there you wouldn't have taken a picture with one of your nine billion cameras your always talking about and then jumped right on here and started talking smack?? Oh yeah I forgot you don't do things like that.

    I came out to my truck like that, but that's because I scaled out and was going to fuel up as well and parked behind another truck who was fueling, but the fuel desk was tied up so by the time I got back out, the truck in front was gone.

    What I want to know is, the whole time that guy was filming that truck, he was in the fuel island as well, what about the guy stuck behind HIM!

    Actually....I waited behind a guy fueling. Then I fueled both truck and reefer. When I pulled up, he was walking out as I set the brakes. Next........

    Looks to me that the filming started when you were IN the fuel island, not behind somebody, then you were pulled forward yet still blocking the fuel island filming instead of moving along like you wanted this guy to. Pot meet kettle.

    Fuel and go. Don't worry about what the guy next to you is doing in the fuel island, just the guy in front.

    Yes...I started filming when I got to the fuel pumps. But obviously, in your view, I am a liar. And you're the genious....or maybe you are the type that gets all offended when I film people doing silly and stupid crap because you are doing the silly and stupid crap. I don't know...neither do you. But what I do know is, this idiot was blocking the fuel island when there was plenty of places to park. I know this cuz I just left a parking spot as this was around 6 am. But you wouldn't know that....because I am a liar....anyways....next...

    I never called you a liar, just pointed out what it looked like in the video. I might go as far as call you hypocritical because of the fact you were taking up time in the fuel island filming a guy blocking the fuel island. Now if you were parked in one of those plentiful parking spots and filming it, I'd have no issue. I also have no issue with you filming people doing stupid things as there are plenty of braindead morons in this industry doing stupid things worth filming, just don't rag on some guy blocking the fuel island when you were doing a fair share of wasting time in the fuel island yourself.

    You are so freaken right.....
    1 minute and 30 seconds...

    How about we do this!
    Don't you think that I would have been courteous enough to think about the driver behind me? Even when the point of my Bonehead Truckers series is all about courtesy and drivers' image? Don't you think I would have been thinking about what I was doing to effect other drivers first?

    No...You automatically assume I am a hypocrite.

    So instead you missed the point of the video. You also insulted my intelligence and the intelligence of the drivers who have taught me.

    I don't roll that way. I have screwed myself many of times in effect to get out of someone's way or giving someone room or things of that nature. I take too much pride in what I do. You will never know that because it is easy for you to sit on your side of the keyboard and criticize. Its easy to do. What is not easy to do is doing something about it.
