Ok so my turn to tell stories about a fuel island event.

Several weeks back I pull up to fuel. To my left was a Truck parked as usual. As I was walking back from starting the passenger side tank I notice two ladies in the truck with their feet up on the dash and no hose fueling the truck. And another driver parked behind them waiting to fuel. All lanes were full as well.

So, I proceeded to, I thought politely, mention to the passenger that if they were done fueling there was another Driver behind them. (Mostly like an FYI and I’m sure you didn’t notice approach)

WOW, the words I heard flying out of her mouth… while I am never offended at bad language, I certainly think there’s a time and place for it… but she obviously didn’t… LOL

I responded, not mad just matter of fact… “hey if you wish to be rude that’s totally up to you” and continued to complete my fill.

Then after a few minutes I noticed the truck pulling up so they must have thought about it and opted to pull forward.

THEN IT HAPPENED…

Driver comes walking around the tail of the truck heading in my direction so I opted to meet her half way…

She was not happy that I stuck my nose in other peoples business blah blah blah mind my own business blah blah blah she can park where she wants blah blah blah that’s how people get hurt blah blah blah…

I let her finish kind of and then raised my voice just a bit, not quite to her level but enough to convey a bit of serious assertiveness.

“you do realize I simply brought to your attention that another Driver was waiting to fuel at your island and I noticed you did move but whatever” and turned turn the driver fueling and asked him to “back it up that she wanted her parking spot back” and walked away.

She walked into the C Store.

Kind of envisioned ending up on a viral video clip of Driver on Driver Violence or something… lol … she probably could of taken me… LOL

Freaking nut jobs out here.

Was this at the Loves in Ina, IL, or Kingman, AZ? Those two seem to attract BS like that.

Hey, refresh my poor memory… at what temps are we supposed to treat our fuel? When over night hits 20 degrees? Thanks.

The company will want you to treat it once it's below 20, but if you're fueling at loves they're pretreated anyways, also the Fremont yard is pretreated, as well as most truck stops north, usually only have to worry if you're fueling in the south

Took a 34 in KCMO, got my truck serviced, and grabbed a load off of the drop yard this morning going out to Victorville, California for a drop Sunday. Then running over to Mareno Valley for a D/H going to Mason City, Iowa. Currently sitting in Tucumcari taking a 10 and shooting for Kingman tomorrow. The weather looks good going back East next week, depending on the weight of the Mareno Valley load I might run 70, haven’t been out West in 18 months.

So in orientation Thursday, Tim (FCCs President) came in to talk with me and the other gentleman. I knew Tim is a huge Notre Dame guy, and my Clemson Tigers were playing them Saturday night. So I preceded to raz him and talk smack that my Tigers would crush the golden domers. Well I guess I should have kept my mouth shut. Notre dame destroyed Clemson.
