I got backed into at the truck stop - is it my fault?

I guess I’m not in a legit spot right now then.

Hint: It’s dang hard to get painted lines to stay put in a gravel parking lot.

Oversize loads and long trucks/trailers have to park just like everyone else. It’s not their fault that most truck stops are designed for nothing but short wheelbase tractors and dry vans.

In my opinion, if you hit a parked truck, it’s your dang fault.

 

I don't like hypothetical. I mean hypothetically, how long would my tires and front end last if California used it's highway funds to fix the highways?

 

You prevaricate worse than a dispatcher who has just been asked for layover pay.

 

I don't think so. Blair is the topic of the thread.
It's well established that I'd probably pay for parking before he did, so basically they will be having ice tea in hell before that happens.
So it's a moot point.

 

It's not nice to force the moose to go look in a dictionary!

 

So your saying if I am parked in line to get fuel, not in a marked spot, and someone tries to go around and hits my truc or trailer I am at fault? Don’t think so,
I have parked a wide load in two spots and someone backed into my mirror.
Park a wide load at sunset and watch the lot fill up, it’s amazing to see how many different ways drivers line up to get in a spot. Kind of like Walmart on food stamp day.

How do you suggest drivers with long trucks park? I try to stay in a safe place where I won’t get blocked in by others but it ain’t always possible.!

 

Glad you told him how I feel. Thanks.
