    How would pulling their seals off help your situation?

    Don't say that it would "teach them a lesson" because it would not. If you pulled the seals off 12 trucks maybe 2 or 3 drivers would make the connection.

    Seal pulling nonsense is why I use my seal guard on every load.

    I reserved a spot at pilot near Ogden and a Werner driver was parked in my spot . I spoke to manager and he talked to the driver, the driver said I cant move I'll get in trouble and he said I'm not moving call the cops . The manager said I can call the cops or let you park in fuel island , I said on principle alone and the fact that hes a mega driver call the cops on the old prick . Cops arrived and they gave him 5 minutes to move or he was getting towed , I slept well that night .
