    I haven't yet been forced to block anyone because I arrived late to a TS. But I am fully prepared to get my ### up and move without complaint whenever I do and someone needs to get out.

    Having said that, I heard a CB Rambo in Bloomsbury, NJ whining about a guy that had to park in a non-spot and blocked him. He said he had to get out at 3am, and he'd be waking that guy up to do it. I got on the radio and suggested that since he recognized the problem, he could offer to swap spots, then they could both sleep soundly without issues, as nobody else was likely to need to get out that early on a Sunday morning. He had nothing else to say.

    If you want to pick a fight with me be sure you have trained well my son as I am a Seabee and a Vietnam Vet and Nobody, not you or anyone else tells me how to park. My whole philosophy is "Shut up or die!" Better mind your own business kid.

    Well, I wasn't directing anything at you personally, but if you insist:

    As former military, you have been trained to toe the line and follow the rules. Please do so, truckers already have a poor enough image as it is.

    Well, I for one am sick of the comments like you copied me! As for KE5WDP, I would't advertise my call sign because people can find where you live in about 5 seconds. It's like saying, "Come rob me!" Not very bright.

    He sure doesn't seem too bright for someone that's almost 70 years old...

    And yeah, I looked you up for grins and giggles a couple of months ago.

    And FYI, my QRZ record hasn't been updated in 3 moves, so they can go rob my old place if they know my callsign.

    All I know is I am the only good parker here , whenever and however I do it is the right way and anyway I disagree with is obviously wrong.

    Also ,it doesnt matter if you do it the same as me or different cause I am going to get my supertruckin mouth going and explain how you did it wrong. It's not like we are going to leave here anytime soon. :biggrin_1square2::biggrin_1square2::biggrin_1square2::biggrin_1square2:

    Follow the herd... I've commented about this in other threads, I park in the desert with no trucks within 5 MILES! Literally, (Ford Dry Lake or Vidal Jctn.) NO TRUCKS within 5 miles of me, put my windows down feel that cool desert breeze.... Perfection, then....... within an hour there are 3 reefers sitting 5 feet from my truck!!!!!

    You have a BILLION ACRES to park your truck in! You have to park next to me?

    So glad I dont sleep in trucks anymore (hotels every night for me partially because of that).
