Nose in Parking and Copy Cats

Don't forget about the one in Alamagordo, NM on I-10 at the top of the hill, and the one in AR off I-40 just west of Little Rock.

Not all Love's are horrible, just the old one's in TX/OK/NM/AR. The brand new one's out here are not so bad. the new one just nroth of Indy is very nice along with the one in Odessa, TX (at least for parking spaces) but the odessa one usually has a 2 hour wait for a shower (dang oil field workers LOL)

 

I don't appreciate it when drivers park nose-in at the truck stops, especially when they have to wake me up because they can't back out at an angle, or another driver has parked behind a row trucks the long way and it's packed tight. To me, in my opinion, if you don't back in, you're either a newbie that's not confident in their backing ability or just plain lazy.

 

I don't appreciate rookies that can't figure out that some people can preplan out how to back out of a spot, before they nose in.

 

Thank you.

 

This is my biggest grip about nose in parkers, and you see it at just about every truck stop in the country, its lazy and inconsiderate.

 

Like you've never seen a back-in parker do the same thing? Not staying with in the space is inconsiderate, no matter which way the truck is pointed.

 

If you consider the safety factor, your increasing the odds hats is why most of us back in, it is the safest way to handle the situation. Our companies safety department will consider it your fault if you get into an accident after nosing into a parking space. Backing out is always more dangerous.

 

If that was my truck and my buddy Gus (who trained me back in 1986-7) had seen this. He'd march all the way from Springfield, MO to Idaho just to whoop my butt!!!
