    5th wheel grease on the door handles work and don't damage anything.

    I have seen what happens to a fuel island camper when someone drops a 1/2 roll of TP in the tank.

    That's some federal poop right there. Not watching and laughing, but the interfering with interstate commerce part. :evil3:

    Everyone at some point in their life will get that phone call about a family member.

    Anyone ever have an accident inside the truck with no place to pull over? Only one way to clean up the mess is to get to a shower, and NOW.

    I would hate to be the low life, coward that touched another’s rig, especially not knowing exactly why the delay.

    One hundred years from now your precious little wait won’t matter.

    Give others a little grace. Your turn will be here sooner than you want. For some of you, it may be not too far away.
     
    dwells40 and Roberts450 Thank this.

    EVEN if I had the mindset to do this kind of childless stuff give that a huge amount of drivers have go pros in their trucks along with all the cameras hanging everywhere I might get caught. I might also add that just about every driver out there has both a still and a video camera in their pocket! NFW do I do that crap!

    Modern day fueling is an art form now.

    This whole thread is another consequence of e log.

    The other day at The Petro in Kingman, some lines were 3 deep. Some only one. I went all the way down to the last one and had 0 wait time.

    Or you could be a good sheeple and just pull behind whichever one was closest and maybe go 4 deep.

    How the hell does one goes ballistic for someone taking there time in the fuel island for who knows for what reason but y’all are calm and collective waiting at a shipper and receiver for 4 plus hours?

    The only problem with breaking the seal then leaving is, the driver will never know why the seal is missing. The driver that broke the seal should have opened the door & put a note in the back of the trailer saying: Remember when you had the lane at the fuel island blocked at the Loves in Minden, La.?????

    Or, instead of opening the door, he coulda just rolled up the note & put it in the holes in the door latch.

    He would think twice before blocking the fuel lane again knowing why the seal was pulled. As it is, he has no I-dee..

    Well, now I'll have to get ziplock baggies with pre-written notes to ziptie to his door. Thanks coach!
