    Ok so I am sitting in tyler texas at a pilot because , dallas is getting a ice storm ans two. My load don't deliver until the morning .

    Anyways , I have watched some real ######## today driving around here like the I ### is on fire or something , one guy was trying to back in a spot , while some idiot comes around a corner almost hits him . Then trys to squezze by , while the guy is still backing up .
    Wtf is wrong with people ?

    Kind of pointless to make a thread about this , but there is no reason for going 20 mph in a parking lot where people are walking around .

    Most of the guys doing look Russian or something of that region .

    i watched a guy once. who backed his truck in at a farily good rate of speed. between 2 trucks.

    i wasn't impressed with his speed. but defenitly impressed with his backing. went right in on the first try.

    Its not worth hitting someone to gain 10 seconds to the stop sign at the end of the parking lot .

    I don't know . I mean they could be , and it really don't matter . I wasn't trying to single people out , but rather just a observation.

    Hmmm, so what do Canadians look like? Can you spot the differnce between the guy in Port Huron and the guy across the river in Sarnia? I need to know what to look for.

    They are just looking for trouble i never go over 10 mph in a truck stop because too many truckers are looking to get hit by a truck so they can sue to buy their own truck not to offense but i have seen truckers walking like crazy and the thing is they know your blind spot, i lost one of them under my hood nd im like really

    Come on now Duchie - if a Canadian sped through the lot, he'd have to spend the rest of the day apologizing to everybody else in the truckstop. At the very least, he would be yelling repeatedly "Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me ..."
