    Parked at a flying j last night for a nap; there were about 15 spots left when we went to bed, this morning, I can see about 10 spots still. However, apparently because he cannot back, or because he is just lazy, this guy had to park illegally, and well... see the issue?

    Oh and I tried getting him up, flying j tried getting him up, we tried calling US Xpress and asking them to get a hold of him, he's still here, and I have a load now late because I've been here trapped by his stupid parking skills 2 hours past when I was supposed to leave.

    He's got 5 mins before I call, I have to call the state police as the locale doesn't have a police force. DOT is not really who I want to sick on any trucker, especially an O/O but we are running out of time to make it today for the consignee being open.

    The guy on my left is legally parked, I don't see why he should have to be woken up to move? I'd rather have US xpress towed then have to wake up someone whom has done nothing wrong; and apparently thats whats about to happen to US Xpress because the police called flying j (because its private property) and they said they were going to have it towed if he was still there at 8:30am.

    He moved when the cops came and knocked on his door and announced police. Of course, that wakes people up real fast. Now he did hit our mirror exiting. Which I was afraid of, but he just pushed it in because peterbilt builds their mirrors with idiots in mind. No damage.

    With your truck that close for a good step stool put a radioactive HM cargo sticker on his trailer upside down high enough he can't reach it to take it off.

    Next time he goes thru a scale it'll be a 'rewarding' experience.

    ROFLMAO
