    So what your saying Michael is just because you have a CDL doesn't mean you can drive a truck.

    I learned awhile back to scrutinize where I park at a truck stop and not park at a place where a 'creative' parker can block me in. Almost late for a delivery once cause I got blocked in and I couldn't rouse the guy to get him to move.

    I try to park in places where it is unlikely that I will be blocked in by tardparkers, but as it gets later in the afternoon, those spots fill up quickly.
