New Safe Parking Idea

Ha ha, yeah, it really is a truck stop, she plays her cards right though she could have the Iowa 80 of the east coast.

 

Yes and it could make alot of other travel dumps stand up and take notice ...Something like this would pay for itself in less than10 yrs without a doubt

 

Absolutely

 

How about a hair, tanning, and nail salon? And if you could do something about the boyz back hair it would be great!!!

 

I think any establishment that caters to truckers that has a deacent location is going to make #### good money.

 

Mr. Beast is basically saying if you work for Swift, JB Hunt, Werner, Schneider, USXpress, CR England or Prime, you won't be allowed to use the facility. Doesn't matter that most of the backing accidents I've seen were caused by some independent driver running his own truck.

There was the guy in Front Royal running a stretched Pete hauling a meticulously polished all over reefer who took off the nose of a LandAir truck.

Or the guy in Dalton (?) At that Flying J who had five spots in one direction, seven in the other, but still managed to put the corner of his trailer right into the center of a USA Trucking International. And since that wasn't good enough, he pulled away and tried again only faster and with more force, but still right in the center of that grill.

But we'll just block the Big Company wagons from being in Mr. Beast's parking lot. We'd hate to damage his equipment.

 

Hey Injun did the man driving the Pete have alot of back hair blocking his eyesight

 

Yeah I might be a little biased seeing as how a big company truck hit my trailer and bent the frame on it and it was never right again. This 2 months after I had spent 4500.00 putting new tool boxes, painting it, and putting new lights and wiring on it. Not to mention the set of brand new tires I put on it. I wound up having to sell it over that incadent.

As well in Oklahoma City at the Petro I had a swift driver knock about 4 feet of my rub rail off before he realized he hit me.

Both said they could not see me, even though there was a LED marker once every 3 feet on the trailer and in both instances they were turned on.

In Coachella California had an Arrow truck rip the hood off my truck in broad daylight, then go hauling ### out of the parking lot as fast as he could. Luckily I was able to get his trailer number and licence plate.

I wound up having to fix it out of my pocket then spend 6 months fighting with them to be reimbursed.

I also had an incadent at the truck stop in Newton KS, I had a 14' wide oversize on they were pieces of an airplane, so the load was worth several million dollars.

I was parked way out to the side of the parkin lot because with the load I would not fit into a single space, had a swift "race truck" driver come tearing through the parking lot grabing gears as fast as he could, probably had an empty wagon, he was driving a W9, the passenger side fender of his truck went under the the piece sitting on my top deck.

I grabbed the horn and he flipped me off.

those are some of the reasons for my oppinion there, here is another, theft prevention.

It is easy to secure the contents of a dry van, if you back one dry van up to the back of another dry van (or refer) with out enough room to get the doors open, then it is not very likely that some one will have the opportunity to steal anything out of it.

On the other hand on a flat bed, what ever you are carrying is open, granted most of the things you carry are big things that can not be easily carried off, but there are issues with people taking pieces of them off.

For instance, back in 06 I hauled a load of Humvee's from Beaumont to Fort Leonard Wood. One of the Humvee's had been in a fire fight, had bullet holes in it, as well the seat behind the driver had blood all over the inside and bloody hand prints surrounding the door.

On that load I had two seperate occasions where people climbed up on my trailer to look inside of it, and I had to chase em off, one was bold enough to look around for anything he could take as a souvineer.

I also had an incadent while pulling an oshkosh truck where a man pulled up to my trailer in a mini van, he and 2 kids proceded to climb out, and the kids got up into the cab of the truck and started playing with everything while dad stood there and watched.

When it happened It was at a diary queen that has truck parking, I was sitting inside eating lunch and had to drop what I was doing to chase them off.

So, that is why I sugjest having a fenced area for flatbeds and oversize to park where thier loads and trucks can be secure. It makes a guy sleep a lot better.

 

Mr Beast you seem to have had alot of problems.

Do you have alot of back hair weighing down your shoulders?

 

Everything I mentioned there happened while my truck was parked.

And I am fortunate enough that I have no back hair what so ever!
