You are right on there. I wouldnt call those idiots drivers. They lack skill and love for the profession. That is a steering wheel holder.

I have also read that other truck stops have parked a tow truck and posted signs to threaten towing if trucks were left at the pumps. Good for any truck stop that steps up to stop this practice by these lazy so-called professionals.JForce28, OLDSKOOLERnWV, Still undecided and 9 others Thank this. -

I think it's to late. The 30 Min. Break Rule created this. The parking on the fuel island and parking on the shoulder crowd are the same people. It's an engrained behavior now. So much so, someone carries cones. I think we've all seen all the different ways people have tried to change this behavior...Public shaming on Youtube, threats of violence, actual violence, sabotage to the parkers truck, and even asking politely if they would move forward. None of these has had any deterrent at all. It's just part of stopping to get fuel now. Just try and get it at off peak times or get lucky.
austinmike, bzinger and Studebaker Hawk Thank this. -
Still undecided and bzinger Thank this.

Sure, but the T/S would have to do that. I just think the "Self Governing" didn't work. No matter what you do to those people they just don't seem to care.
Phoenix Heavy Haul Thanks this. -
Just be glad they haven’t put in the TV flat screens in the pumps like Velero is here in Texas at the auto pumps. Some of these guys might just park to watch the advertisements and pop culture news.
Oxbow and OLDSKOOLERnWV Thank this. -
bzinger Thanks this.
