    There's money to be made for small towns writing $200 parking tickets for truck drivers.

    Truck stop. I really should have taken a picture. At the time if figured no one would care, but now I am kinda pissed I didn't take one. Oh well, some people would think it was AI faked, because nobody could be that #### dumb.

    What truckstop was this at? What is the name and city and state of the truckstop?

    If I am familiar with the truckstop, maybe I could better imagine what you are describing.

    About a year ago, I was at that Love's in White House TN. I was bobtail awaiting a load from that crappy Tyson in Goodlettesville. The pull throughs were parked so deep, if I had a trailer, no way out. Anyways, I was leaving at about 0200, and a driver who was cruising the lot saw me leaving, and stopped to wait me leave, and then flagged me over to ask me to park his rig. I am not making that up.

    No one makes things up.
    Can't make that up... as the saying goes.

    Trouble is, most things in this world are made up.

    I can always remember a time when drivers "Creatively Parked" BUT...Back in the day they would be up at the crack of dawn to leave again or to move to an open, real spot to get out of everyone's way. Now these A-HOLES have absolutely no shame. I see them with the curtains pulled, in travel lanes outside the T/S, in the T/S, a neighboring business (truck wash or repair shop), ETC, blocking entrances, and other truckers from leaving into the mid-morning hours. Like 8-9 O'clock in the morning.
