Sexist and rascist

If a driver had a clean history and gets a complaint call, it does tend to be poo poo'd.

If a pattern develops, then it is more likely to be dealt with.

People like Harvey Winstein got away with the stuff they did for so long in part because people didn't report it. If we just keep taking crud because we don't think anything will change then we will be eating poop our entire lives.

 

Not specifically aimed at you, but in general for all the "park it properly" posts - that drop lot is a flaming PITA.

Its the far back corner of an old operating center. The ground isn't level; the asphalt is cracked, crumbling, or nonexistent; the spots are laid out for 48 foot trailers; the fence put in cuts accross the back of one of the rows making it even tighter.

If I have been sitting waiting for the load to come in I generally don't want to wait for them to back it in - especially if there are tractors hooked to trailers. I also would prefer the trailer being on stable, level ground so the other driver isn't tempted to crank the landing gear to full extension just to be able to get out from underneath.

Should she have pulled up enough to clear other trucks? Sure, but I wouldn't get bent out of shape if I needed to ask her to pull up.

If she blocks him in he has a right to say something. If his "could you please pull up" gets him no where he can be more assertive. Cussing or being abusive is not called for.

 

I'm confused.

 

Thanks roger for shining some extra light on the specific circumstances at that particular yard.

 

Tim, I ain’t even gonna try after my AM/PM dyslexic episode.

 

I re-read your post.

Personally, I get irritated if a driver blocks my mobility in any situation without asking. Good lesson.

You did have one option - ignore him. You chose to approach him to get his truck number.

Ignoring him takes strength. It’s turning the other cheek. Men are often killed for failing to discern which battle to pick.

Not saying what you should have done, just pointing out options.
