    Looking at it from overhead there's no way a truck with a 13'6 x 53' could fit in there.

    I guess they thought they could back in to get fuel from the pump in the back right corner when looking at it from the street?

    Points for using Kurfuffle.

    It's a fun word, that should be used more.

    Yea, I think he was trying to do a U-turn and once too far into the turn realized that on the other side of those pumps the concrete went down substantially. I've never really seen that so I won't even laugh at him. I feel sorry for him. That could have been me.
     
    PacoTaco Thanks this.

    I would say lack of GPS. For me, my GPS is one tap to switch to overhead satellite view and anybody driving a truck would have to be stupid not to use this tool before turning in to a gas station that looked like this. No way it remotely resembles a truck fueling station, from the road or satellite or anything else. Driver should not have been there.
     
    mjd4277 and RockinChair Thank this.
