I don't begrudge someone a parking spot. This is three spots down from a designated spot, and he paid the price...... And the drivers you blocked???????
Flatbed couldn't negotiate the turn and tore the left side off.

Yeah, dumb place to park but if the other truck couldn't make the turn he should have had the Stevens truck move, no excuse to tear the front off another truck.
Stevens: Poor choice of parking
Flatbed: Poor driving.SHO-TYME, Curb, conjuntoron and 4 others Thank this. -
I've seen incidents like that dozens of times. Lazy, self-centered drivers to sorry to park in a designated spot.

I had taken a long break because of my asthma and vacation, yesterday was my first load out and reminded me some of the things I dislike about driving. To many idiot drivers that are inconsiderate and park where ever is closest to the truck stop and most convenient even if its not designated parking and you block access in or out of a TS. There was plenty parking in the back but even guys w.out trailers were to lazy to go back there and park. Parking @ the pump while they go inside to eat, take a dump and flirt w the cashier. Oh boy I can go on and on

The Houston area is the fuel stealing / siphoning capital of America.
Watch your tanks if you park there overnight.
Company where I work has banned us from parking
at several places due to this.
As far as parking it's pretty crowded.281ric Thanks this. -
Pin Ball Thanks this.

Hard to tell for sure, but from looking at both pics, there should have been room to make that maneuver. Even with the Stevens parked wrong, it don't look too tight there. Like one poster said, still no reason to hit the poorly parked truck. Just stop and get him to move.

That flying J is filled to capacity at about 3pm. By 10 pm you have trucks quadruple parked along the entrance drive and each lane narrows down to almost 1 truck width. It is one of the Worst truckstops that I have ever been to, parkingwise. Not to mention that the place is filled with beggars and hawkers
