Parking at the truck stop head first

Worrying about whether drivers back in or nose in at the truck stop seems about as silly as worrying about what type of shirt a driver wears...or what they wear on their feet.

 

I don't care you have lace panty or not. I do care if your trailer sticking out and another driver can't park across.
How do you plan to evacuate in case of fire next to your truck?

 

.

No!
Nosed in trucks are ok only on the condition that they don't compromise the access to the adjacent spots. Noising in while knowing that it will make difficult for someone else to back in or get out, takes an inconsiderate #######!

 

That inconsiderate can happen in any type of situation. Not just nose in.

As long as people can get through. It doesn't matter how they're parked.

 

AGREED.

 

not a snarky question. But can someone explain to me how pulling in head first vs. backing in to the spot can cause it to be an issue for another driver to park. If said TT is parked properly in the same space what is the difference if it is the tractor or the trailer that is facing you when you back into the adjacent spot? Thanks in advance guys.

 

I try to MYOFB so I dont care if someone chooses to pull in or back in. The only time it bothers me is
1) when they pull in, but not as far as possible so thier trailer is blocking my view.
2) When I pull in because, I dont want to be seen nor see the people in truck next to me.
But then they pull in next to me

 

Because when you back in, your trailer over hangs the curb, so your unit is further back. When you pull in, even if you pull up enough so bumper over hangs the curb. Your still sticking out further than if you backed in.

 

That makes sense. You've a few extra feet of front end room based on the back end. TY

 

AGREED!Well said.
