    i was thinkiing the same thing

    a truckstop is hardly the place to find a quiet sleep, if anything, a rest area is typically a lot quieter

    when i am dog tired, i dont go to a truckstop, i go to a rest area where there is grass and trees and birds chirping

    i had a driver tell me he parked on the fuel island once when there were no spots, and went to sleep. He woke up 7 hours later and found a spot.

    Ill admit last Saturday I slept in the fuel island at Hucks. There wasn't any parking and it was 1am and nobody was getting fuel around 2 am I got up and circled the lot and found a spot but had to hear another drivers mouth who was mad that he'd been waiting since 9pm for a spot and I should've let him take the spot.

    Do you currently live in PGH? I have a few questions related to trucking and living in PGH if you have some time! I just moved to Penn Hills in August

    I guess you could say I live there but I only go home every couple of months. I don't live far from Penn Hills. I used to work there and my mom still does. I skipped school once to sneek into Penn Hills High school too.

    paul.....just do what i'm sure one of our fellow curtious drivers of today would do......walk over and shut the reefer off. also, park at a busy fuel island while doin your log book, dump you pi$$ bottles out, do push ups and excercise.........all while the other driver waits in line. Where HAS all the courtesy gone?

    I know there is sarcasm there, but for the record, if anyone touches my reefer they're going to meet H&K .40 up close and personal.

    I've had drivers shut my reefer off, but the few times it happened, they waited for me to go inside so I wouldn't know who did it.

    That's really tough of you. I'm sure everyone in prison will respect you too
