    There's a freaking parking garage for parking there. They were just being lazy, stupid, or both.

    Admittedly the truck parking there is stupid as the one side only has access from the car ramp.

    Which alot of people are, these days. But it don't matter because it's always the truckers fault.

    They're probably retired so that's not going to do much.

    The sign is covered by the tree in the photo, but i suspect it says max height is 6' 6" going into the parking garage, so some would not go in with any type of trailer.
    But of course, a Swift driver would try it, wouldn't they?

    But that doesn't give an excuse for most of the vehicles in the original picture... the uhaul might have a problem, but everyone else?

    If possible I try to park next to them an idle up the motor. If I’m pulling a reefer it goes to continuous rather than start/stop. This works well for getting rid of RV’s most of the time as well.

    I wonder what RVers would say if we pulled into their parks like they use truck stops?

    Not talking about guys transporting RVs for delivery, I am talking about families who are either traveling, or otherwise living out of their mansions on wheels.....
