FlyingJ,no parking asked to leave.

Truckstops for me is a sort of battleground because just a parking spot might be a problem in it. I go in slow and let her tick over at idle while moving slow to evaluate potential spots.

I do NOT whatever the spot is, do NOT pull straight in especially if someone can park behind you to the side of the road you used to get to it. You would be trapped there.

Barring truckstops, I put food and drink into the tractor and go find a mountain side to park on. Usually there is a little bit of logging road, river boat launch point or some other small gravel pad to the side on the mountain where you can get absolute quiet (OTher than Jake Braking etc) far away from ###### and so on. Very peaceful.

It's not always possible.

 

Your not very bright are you?
Why the he'll would you want to wake up a sleeping driver.
What happens when that driver can't get back to sleep and heads out on the Hwy tired and takes out a family in a minivan.
All because you think your a parking cop.

Oh and by the way NO IM NOT ONE OF THOSE DRIVERS.
I don't ever park where someone will need to ask me to move.

 

Vision Truck Driving School in Dallas, TX... teaching the students to park beside the fuel island.

 

I see your point,as long as a driver wasnt in my way I seen no reason to disturb him.He needs his sleep like everyone else does.What I dont understand is why a lot of drivers have to park where they are in everyone's way just so they can be as close to the buffet as possible.Its like alittle exercise won't kill them.I've told many drivers off just for being ignorant and stupid made my day too.

 

Sometimes they have a legit reason--like parking close so they get a strong wifi signal.

 

Parking close is one thing but parking in everyone's way is another.

 

The level of stupid and being a major impediment in the primary egress route for everyone leaving the truck stop, to get me to use my horn is pretty significant. I think I've only done it twice. But it's better to be waken up that way then have somebody hit you.

 

Really Patti? A wifi signal?? That's pathetic if a driver can't do without wifi for a night Well then again gotta get on that drama book. Lol

 

Good grief why you jumping on me I never said anything and you spelled my name wrong.

 

When I can't get on Netflix it makes me sad.
