    Maybe all the rolls were loaded on the right side and the driver needed to take a duece and was sliding in to home base before it came to an out. Or thats how they park trucks in third world countries.

    funny thing is the scar on the roof says low bridge or low drive thru line attempt. Lol

    Why not??..seems too many folks blame elogs instead of taking responsibility and just slowing down..too many folks are in a hurry and the fact of the matter is slowing down period won’t make much of a difference anyway and if folks get delayed then you’ll get there when you get there..better to arrive late than never arrive at all..

    The same jerks that speed through truck stop parking lots are the ones who take their 30 minute breaks on the fuel island.

    The fatalities have already happened ,at least in the fuel lines. One poor young lady was run over a couple of years ago at the T/A in Sparks,Nevada!

    Breaks, plural, is correct. The fastest in the truck stops and the work zones tend to be the ones that visit every Love's they pass.

    I wonder when they'll realize the 5-7 minutes of time they burn up from their 11 every time they stop actually adds up to be way more than the 37 seconds they save endangering the public
     
    Opus, Bud A., bzinger and 3 others Thank this.

    I'm just saying. Ay least he will be off the road for a while, at least seemingly. Rollovers are career killers as it is, and if it's reported that it occurred at the truck stop, he ain't working no where for some years.
