    You can park your tractor trailer anywhere, even in front of NO PARKING signs, in front of the truckstop scale, etc.

    Just have your 4 way flashers on.

    It's fine to take your 30 on the fuel island, but make sure you're actually blocking the pump. Do not pull forward. Bonus points if you're blocking the pump closest to the building.

    When loading or delivering, always tell them you’re in a hurry. Best to tell them they only have 15 minutes or else you’re leaving.

    That's not true! Only the US Marshalls can do that.

    Don't use your turn signal. It's no one else's business where your going.

    If you see a flatbedder parked alone, not idling, now that the weather is cooling down, make sure to park your reefer next to them. Throw some loose nuts and bolts in the engine compartment too. They'll appreciate the white noise. Start/stop mode is preferred
