At least when they park crooked like that, you don't have to listen to someone like Melton's back up alarm for 15 minutes while he tries to straiten it out.

I instruct my flat bed drivers to at least take two spots up when they park except when they are at a truck stop where the parking is limited and they are required to take at least three parking spots.

OP
You answered your question.
He's parked at a toll plaza on his ten.
1. I don't want some dumb ### to park or block me in when he gets in the FULL plaza, and assumes it's ok to block me in.
2. I don't need parts ripped off from a mega-carriers. Or damaged like @wore out
(some of these mega-carriers have careless drivers.)PoleCrusher, spyder7723, stwik and 1 other person Thank this. -

Possible someone was sitting where you are taking the pic and he couldn’t swing wide therefore he didn’t want to add his front trailer axle as part of his cargo?

Let me scurry back to my hiding hole before I say something I shouldn’t...PoleCrusher and Oxbow Thank this. -
That's a Mercer truck. They have a special exception from the FMCSA. They are allowed to park anywhere and any way they care to on M, W, Th, F, Sa, and Su. A US Marshal would have explained this to you if you bothered to ask.
