I was just about out of hours at the Roanoke T/A one night. It was about 8:00PM, and anyone who knows anything, knows that Roanoke can be a real pita to get a spot in. Long story short, I had looped the lot a few times waiting for something to open up. One did, but I was facing the wrong way (would have been a tough blindside) so I went to the end of the row to turn around. In the time it took me to do that, another driver came out of the fuel islands and snagged the spot. Was I ticked off? Sure, but the thing is, no one "owns" a parking spot until they are in it (or at least set up to back in). I was nowhere near it and it was fair game and he beat me to it. A few minutes later another one opened up and I got parked for the night.Logan76 and TRKRSHONEY Thank this. -
Just a word of advice, I too have less than one year in trucking, and to be honest, I am too busy taking care of my business to worry about the business of others. I understand your concerns for the safety of others, but your actions to make things safer, actually make it worse. And waving a reciept at someone telling them you took my spot...
Lets just say you got lucky. You catch the wrong guy, and things could go very , very bad.
If you are 43 you know that many times in your life, you have learned something new and later, looked back and had to chuckle to yourself at your inexperience and the silly things you have done.
Please learn how to SAFELY drive YOUR truck. That is the biggest thing you can do to make the highways safer.TRKRSHONEY, SGTSmokdU, aiwiron and 1 other person Thank this. -
