Anyone opposed to me parking sideways across the fuel island? Might as well if it's acceptable to just nose in all the God #### time like a bunch of four wheelers.

or the alternate is you get your butt woke up at 3 in the morning because you're black and somebody from leaving. most of the time what you find is somebody gets on the CB and tears him a new one when they block somebody in when they finally realize that that's when they back out turn around and back in. as I said your newer big box truck stops have plenty of room most of the time when you knows in you try pulling one of those stunts in one of the older 76 is now TH or whatever they are are a few other kind of places you find that it doesn't happen.
now we're not talking about the middle of the parking lot we're talkin about usually if you think of a Flying J or a pilot where you have parking facing each way..
again these are the ones who knows in towards the very corner first or second ones with their trailer sticking out far to where they're either blocking somebody from backing in chew the other corner ones or to where their trailer is prohibiting them from pulling out of their parking spot.
I have done it more than once when I have nosed in and walked in the either shower or come back out after using the facilities and I noticed well my trailer sticking out too far I got no choice I see this guy's not to be able to get out of his parking spot. picture a capital letter L. now that capital letter L are the two lines of parking the way the trucks are. now do you see and I'm sure you seen it before if you're on either of the very corner spots of that l and it's an older truck stop and somebody's already backed into one of the end corner spots more often than that people have gotten woke up to back themselves out because they're blocking somebody from leavingQuietStorm Thanks this. -
I pulled in maybe 5 times or a dozen if ever in my lifetime.
4 of those times I got properly trapped by another.
The old Nashville 76 comes to mind. There is a ring road where everyone pulled in. Unfortuately when it's packed everyone parks along the other side around the grass. Trapping the entire corral. (76 is long gone... demo'ed) -
