    No she was not. We were parked to the side of theTA,the small dirt area directly across from pilot which is by the fence. There are not any marked spaces. Regardless of your position, she did the right thing. The TA was packed inclusive of the bobtail/expiditor section.he got there late obviously and I feel he was extremely arrogant to actually ask her to move. Where was she supposed to move? Ordinarily I would not expect a bobtail to park in a full spot but the circumstances were different.

    Even if she was taking up a full spot, so what? She's just as regulated as the next guy. "Poor planning on your part does not constitue an emergency on mine."

    any bobtail taking up full truck parking when other spots are available for bobtail is just wrong rude inconsiderate
    just because it is legal and allowed doesnt make it right
    same as the swap guys taking up 2 spaces

    20 years ago no one would consider doing these things
    just more of the lowering of a moral compass by society in general

    if you think i am wrong look into the mirror and see the problem

    Fellas I do believe we have a Yankee who hasn't read section C in the Super Truckers Almanac. Team Player's code of conduct. I say we get a rope, and give this cat some tree time. Grrrr

    Personal insults notwithstanding, adding that factor does change things; if a bobtail spot is available, a bobtail should fill it. Not doing so would be rude and inconsiderate.

    How is it everytime somebody can't find a spot late at night it's due to "poor planning".

    Some of you folk are awfully lucky not to load/unload in the middle of the night and not get kicked off the property when finished. Is that part of planning?
     
    Rocks Thanks this.
