    I got fuel there yesterday, had to wait, of course.
    But they have giant neon timers posted above the trucks so we all can see how long they've been at the pump.
    One was 45 min
    One 38 min
    One 75 min
    By the time I left, all three were still at the pumps
    The one that had been 75 now showed over 90
    Yep, an hour and a half parked at the pump.
    A big burly Schneider driver jumped the guy coming back to his truck that showed nearly an hour
    It almost came to blows
    I'm not sure if the clocks are a good idea or not

    The guy on the left is at an hour and 15 min.
    When I left 15 minutes later, he was just starting to fuel
    What a jerk!

    Maybe they should start charging for sitting to long?

    It all boils down to lazy freakin drivers with no consideration of anyone else....Just sickens me every time I fuel.
    I can scale my load,fuel and be gone in 20 minutes if I can get right to the pumps..

    Getting food or a shower? GO PARK DipWad!

    Well here in lies the principle problem. Having the ability to park the truck, without damaging any other vehicles.

    Obviously the shame factor didn't work worth a ####. Some people you just can't even embarrass into common sense and courtesy. :(

    Typically a form of monetary punishment gets everyone's attention.

    I agree, a charge after a certain amount of time at the pump seems like the next logical step to trying to solve the problem, but I have no clue how it could easily be enforced.

    On the other hand, my girlfriend has been punishing me monetarily for 13 years and I still haven't learned, so maybe I'm as bad as those morons blocking the pumps too....

    well something knows how long the truck is there. So after 15 minutes, even 20 minutes, if they aren't clear pulled forward, fine goes to their fuel card. The BS would stop overnight.
