Sweeping trailer out at fuel island when traffic is low?

Just pull up to the line, then go back and pull the garbage can into the middle of the lane. Then lay the fuel hose on the ground. Any driver will know that means the pump is broke and you will not be hassled.

lol

then one of the employees might come out and even help you get done quicker.....

 

Lets give another prime example why they call truckers idiots.

 

I've seen company trucks do the same thing.,...... Watched a CRST pull off the fuel island and SIT for 45 minutes before moving out of the way.

 

WIthin the parameters of your initial post, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
HOWEVER, WHen I pulled vans I always made a point to sweep out the trailer where I picked it up, or had it unloaded. My Dad tought me that any trash and / or dunnage in the trailer was part of the load. And the entire load got unloaded at the consignee. The trailer was clean when it was loaded, it will be clean when it's unloaded. If it isn't, it's not unloaded yet.
Now I do admit, I was as a Sams Club DC in Mn once, live unloaded and pulled back into the drop lot to sweep it out. Yard jockey came flying up and started spweing spittle and filth from his mouth about it. That gave me an attitude, so I checked out through the gate, stopped in the drive just OUTSIDE the gate, blocking it, put on my 4 ways and swept out the trailer, deposited the full trash bag in the trashcan at the guard shack and went on my merry way.
Just because they tell you you can't sweep it out, doesn't mean you have to believe them Where there's a will. there's a way!

 

and yes I am one of those fat truck drivers but you will not see me parked on the fuel island even if I stop just to use the restroom I park in the back of the truck stop and walk up to the restrooms I am 5ft 7 in and weigh 250 but I believe in walking alittle I may be fat but not to dang lazy to walk a few feet so as not to inconvienince every one else

 

I pulled an empty off the rail yard today. It was a little bit dirty, small pieces of wood, some plastic and forklift tire dust.

I pulled to the side, out of the way and locked to doors open to start sweeping. A minute goes by and a yard dog zips by at about 30mph, slams on his brakes to yell at this driver who is sweeping his trailer garbage out onto the ground....

But he sees my garbage bag full of everything but the dust... and he moves on without a word. He might have been speechless! Maybe he never saw a trucker that didn't litter? Not one that pulls rail trailers.

Yea, I agree with you. I just used O/O's in my example because they are more likely to care if something is going wrong with their rig and try to head off the problem!

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!1
