    This was the entrance to one of our shippers. One of our trucks of course. Driver left the cab to go check in. His tiny brain couldn’t see the big open lot where we had two other drivers and 5 trailers staged. A lot of drivers don’t want to go any further since you have to pass the docks to stage. They don’t want to blindside(Easy with daycab) and they also don’t want to back up any further than they want too.

    This entrance is big enough for two trucks to pass plus there is a gravel area on the other side of his trailer. So no need to do what he did. Just laziness and stupidity.

    That is the ultimate definition of a selfish, rude, lazy a.s.s! driver!

    Maybe this sign spooks them a little bit.

    I always chuckle when I pass this. It's on I-10 east of San Antonio.

    Looking at even that small bit of pavement, I suspect that the problems with lots of wrecks might have something to do with the roads being as lumpy and bumpy as a fairground Rollercoaster.
