I’ve woke up to my hood being ripped off. Not good. I’ll nose in when there’s plenty of room for others to get in or out. If it’s that tight, I have no Choice myself but to back in, nosing in is impossible. I get real nervous in those spots, since my hoods sticking way out there. I think if the way anyone parks bothers you that much, maybe you’re spending too much time at the Truckstops. Try being a little more Courteous, and less hateful. Park any way you want, I don’t care.
Parking at the truck stop head first

This seems to be a belly button issue, innie or outie? If we insist a innie park next to an outer all around the truck stop, then lots of issues would be solved. Less, noise, less accidents etc.. Course the truck stop parking would have to be doubled for the same amount of trucks. That won't be an issue surely?

If someone is going to hit you from the side. It don't matter what direction your going. They're going to hit you from the side.
If they're paying attention. They won't be hitting you. No matter which way you're going.HoneyBadger67, Cabinover101, Odin's Rabid Dog and 1 other person Thank this. -
I didn’t read through the thread....... I voted no.
I find it disrespectful.....
1. You have no respect for others trying to get through the truck stops. Everyone must wait for you pedestrians included.
2. Your trailer is hanging out making it difficult for other drivers to get out of tight spots. Sometimes their blocking spots in corners too.OldeSkool Thanks this. -

I understand what you are saying. Like I said I didn’t read through the thread. I didn’t want to go into semantics. In general I find the people who park this way annoying. It’s not so bad when it’s a tanker or a 48 ft.
I understand larger trucks need more space and wide loads need at least 2 spots. Doubles should have first pick at pull through.
But when some dumb @@@ in a regular ole truck with a 53 is making it difficult for those around them (probably throwing their trash out the window as well and peeing next to my truck because their to lazy to go inside or at least have the decency to keep it in a bottle ) it annoys me.
I try not to dwell on things too much.....thing happen.... may be they even lost power and that was the only way they could get to safety? I’ve been in situations where I wish I wasn’t and have learned that may be there is a reason that person SEEMS like a jerk.Odin's Rabid Dog Thanks this. -
