Bottom line seems to be that unless a truck stop has a bobtail section, then a truck is a truck even if it has no trailer attached so first come first served. The only difference I see is semi's parked in the RV sections at Flying J's. If you do not want RV's to park in the truck section then don't park in the RV section. Drivers have enough to worry about without arguing about where to park. The final issue is better planning and not last minute and do what ever.
He may not have had a choice, but backing all the way in is not cool either. Would it have been OK if he put a couple of Cones at the front? 4-wheelers tend to park where Bobtails' could park. A lot of lots have pull through spaces for Pickup/Trailers & RV's and the 4-wheelers are always there. Try an RV with a car on a dolly. Those folks NEED the pull throughs as they cannot back a car on a dolly.
Let me know if you get him fired it will be interesting to see if this can become more popular. I'd like to be the Hitler of bobtails if I had the power
I wonder whether it was the pilot or ta but they all suck up there a couple months ago hep c was getting passed along at one of the TA from the food
What does that prove? That there is actually a truck stop that has bobtail parking? Just about everyone in this thread has made it clear to use bobtail when available, but if it's not that it's ok to use a full spot.
