Still not an excuse for almost every vehicle in the original picture. Not sure about the height of the uhaul, so giving him benefit of the doubt....

RV person: WTF are you doing? You can't park here....
CDL Holder: why not? I am out of hours and you guys take our limited parking ALL THE TIME when you have more options.... so STHU....Trucker61016, MACK E-6, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -
We can’t use RV parks or campgrounds they can. I’m waiting for one of them to complain about my engine idling or reefer running.
You want quiet ? go to a campground...Trucker61016, MACK E-6, Rubber duck kw and 1 other person Thank this. -
Had one those dimbos park next to me in a dirt lot behind a gas station one time. I was only truck there and rv parked right next to me after i fell asleep . well i started my day at 1am and had to take my ratchet binder off and grab another chain link so i could get more slack. Well long story short Retired ronny and his little old wife come runnin out their rv tellin me to "stop makin so much noise were trying to sleep!! "
"Thats great im on the clock and trying to work and u are disturbing me"
"Why dont u go somewhere else with all that noise!"
"Im perfectly legal parked right here, you decided to park next to me, whos fault is that?"
Next thing i heard was their engine start, up and off they went lol they didnt even do a pre trip!!
Me and camper people dont get along. They all think were out here on vacation having a ball. Think we can just park anywhere we want and do watever we want at anytime. Because they think their million dollar rv is what driving a truck is like.FlaSwampRat, Rubber duck kw and Tall Mike Thank this. -
How do we stop the trucks that are parking in car spots?
I start pretty early and quite frequently when I stop at my local
"Car Only Quicktrip" I have to work around the trucks that are pulled
in. They do have a drive around the back but that is for delivery trucks.
Bobtails aren't so bad but sometimes it is a 53' sleeper truck blocking
pretty much the entire station. There is NO excuse......there are NO warehouses
or manufacturing in this specific area......residential and stores only
at this exit. There is a huge truck parking area not a mile down the road.
For the record I have never seen Professional Drivers parking there. It is
usually those old/fenders torn off trucks with weird foreign names on the
door. -

I have driven by MANY RV parks with adequate access and clearance for my 75' truck as a pull through; but, guess what?.?.?.?......
I don't stop to attempt it out of respect for your peace and quiet...... All I request is that you not take a space from a working driver at a truck stop when all he needs for a few hours is a safe place to eat, sleep, shower, and go to the bathroom. And you have way more options available to you....
Is that too much to ask?D.Tibbitt, Tall Mike, FlaSwampRat and 1 other person Thank this. -
No it's not to much to ask, I dont use travel plazas often and when I do it's an hour or so because with me running 2 trailers behind a Sterling i also am over 70'. There are more options yes but there's also alot that would include breaking it down to park it. I'm also normally off hours when there is more parking, when I move from 1 job to the next I run at night.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
I am another person who actually prefers driving at night when possible. There is something to be said about pulling into a truck stop sometime between breakfast and lunch at the end of the drive day, not having to fight for or pay for parking because the lot is empty.... plus there aren't as many ID10Ts on the road..... I was saying the other day that I have a bigger problem with them during the day, than I do critters at night (have only made a few critter cakes myself).D.Tibbitt and Cowboyrich Thank this.
