    So then you were all parked like ######## 10’ on the other guys spot? I guess it’s all about you then?

    Looks to me like he was parked properly. I really don't think it's his fault for the poor layout......actually I'm sure of it.
    You seem angry and butt hurt.
    Care to share with the class your experience with someone parking properly that ruined your day?

    10’ in the spot behind him is properly parked? In what world?

    I’m abnormally long at 79’ due to my wheelbase and fifth wheel position. If I do front to back parking I stick out where my door is about even with other trucks hoods. But I’m in my spot and only my spot, not screwing the guy behind me.

    Did you look at the picture?
    He was parked just right.
    But, I do understand where the hurt comes from.
    Revel in the knowledge that you probably make more than us door slammers.

    What picture? I never saw a picture of the back of his trailer.

    If the lot's layout is messed up, then why not everyone pull forward out of the other guy's spot? Serious question. I mean aren't you kinda taking up two spots, or is there plenty of room back there?

    It's hard to see internet sarcasm, but based on lower comments, I think you mean this.

    Did you look at the picture? If I had pulled another 8 feet out, I would have been significantly out into the traffic lane, making myself a hazard.

    If you look at the bottom of the picture, you can see the pavement markings indicating the designated end of the parking spots, and I was a little bit over them.

    I am not putting myself or my truck in hazard's way just because the Flying J in Altoona, IA hired a retard to paint yellow lines in their lot. I was there first. I parked safely.

    The position of the back of my trailer is meaningless. If I pulled forward 8 feet, I would have been out in the middle of the travel lane.

    Don't need to see the back of his trailer, might have been in someone's livingroom.
    The money shot is the front of the tractor.

    I'm honestly not figuring out why this is difficult.
