    Theoretically "driver" was "parked between the Pavement Lines", just not of the acceptable format.

    What is the apparently invisible "list of moronic things to do at a truck stop" besides the obvious and repetitive??
    Does Such "List" Exist?
    Sarcastic Minds Wanna Know!! :alien::coffee:

    I thought everyone knew flatbedders can't back? :p seriously though, saw a swift or us express I think do this last week. Pulled in took up like 6 or 7 spots and went and took a shower. Not sure how long he was there for. But he didn't even try. Like wtf?

    Ha! That's another advertisement to go on billboards. Instead of "Hit By A Trucker" put " Suicide By A Trucker." Lawyers could get down with that
     
    Another Canadian driver and goga Thank this.

    That's true...but we live in a pretty blood thrifty society now. Those are valid questions though. At first glance that made me chuckle though

    All truck stops should have employees that only check the lots for these type of drivers. Knock on door, announce on truck stop to move or be towed. Call their company and suspend them from fueling or entering the truck stop. They will learn soon enough.

    So you are willing to pay more for this service? Hiring a dedicated employee isn't free you know...

    Of course nothing is free anymore but an investment to improve any existing problem would be better than allowing these wrongs to exist.

    If he was broken down White’s has a TA Petro shop literally 2 ROWS (walking distance) over from where he was parked,plus a wrecker or other service vehicle would’ve been there to assist. Plus there’s available parking behind the shop for trucks waiting for service. There’s NO excuse for that parking job-NONE!
    And this was around 3:30 in the morning. Note that in the photos at least one truck had already blocked him in!
