    For all of their faults Prime was sending out messages on a regular basis reminding drivers not to stay or take breaks in the fuel island. I'll admit I've done it a handful of times in the early morning hours. Just use common sense and have some respect for your fellow drivers.

    If they aren't in the truck, walk up and switch the trailer lines for them. They'll be there for hours and Learn real fast

    Hmm... seems like a good use for all those pee bottles. Cover their steps with urine so they can smell it every time the door opens.
    I know. I know. I am in a mean mood today.

    Because it's an easy spot at that time of night and there isn't any reason not to do it when the place is empty.

    Late, middle of the night I wouldn't complain. But you said early morning. I took that as 6-8am.

    Just as bad as the campers are the douches that can’t pull far enough ahead so that the guy with the reefer can get far enough forward to fuel it.

    You haven't been watching your step while at the truck stop, have you? They're everywhere.

    I never understood this kind of idiocy. Every time I go to fuel it’s fuel pull up pick up what I need and take a leak and let’s gtfo. Fueling should take 15 mins max and that’s tractor def and reefer clean the windshield while you’re fueling the tractor don’t worry about it having spots the bugs are going to be on the windshield again 50 miles down. If you’re low on the clock and need a break soon don’t do it in the fuel island. Just park somewhere out the way or pull over at the next rest area if it’s daytime still.
