So I parked at the far quiet end of the truckstop.....

they smell worse than a barn!!!! Sucks to be in a TS with the vents open and a meat hauler rolls in stinking to high heaven. But they gotta stop just like I do.

elevator would be a transfer point to get the grain from trucks to train cars. or other trucks.

Edit:I stand corrected. Bull haulers ( or pigs) are the ones who stink.

 

More often than not it will be two guys ... you know some of those teams can bicker ...

 

i confess i've done this,but only when i'm sick or injured.then i try to park with the 4-wheelers.or i try to find another bobtail and park behind them.

 

Even if there isn't anywhere else to park? If that's the case, then you sir are really, REALLY ########## stupid and with any luck you and I will never get within 50 miles of each other.

 

there is always somewhere to put a bobtail in some corner a rig can't fit
i hope not to be near any of you who disagree


and mickeyrat68 a meat hauler and cattle truck are 2 different animals
one gets them alive the other is boxed cold and dead

 

Some of us don't want to get social or personal with other drivers as a whole because 95% of the time the idiots on the CB and at the counters of truck stop restaurants (and wherever else that drivers with half a rock rolling around in their heads get together) don't even have 1/2 of a fully functioning brain between them. And it shows in the kind of crap they talk about and in the way they speak to one another. There are way too many stupid mother ####### out there for all of us in this business to start getting all buddy buddy with each other. I'm not that way with other men in the first place, much less the ones who can't put together an intelligent thought.

 

So basically I have to park in the corner (even if it's the furthest corner from the truck stop) just because I don't have a trailer. Yes sir master, I'll be sure to get right on that.

 

With all the trouble drivers go through finding a parking spot, why would some selfish dummy in a bobtail take a spot they don't need?

 

I watched two J.B. Hunt drivers one night beating the snot out of each other over who had the fastest truck, after the fight was over they climbed back into the same rig.

 

Years ago drivers bob tailing would do just that, keeping trailer spots free for those who needed a parking spot. But then most were considerate and had manners of some from or another.
