Man I thought I was the only one that liked to watch the vultures circle around, and many of them do it at that 5mph speed. I won't even venture into certain truck stops by that time of night. I already know what it is by then lol.

If your an owner operator. Get a cam that looks out the windshield and watches the parking lot while you sleep.
If your a company driver, Request that your company do the above. That way whn some one tears the hood off you have proof of what they did. -
^^^^^ well let's go back to cabovers...no need to worry about hoods getting torn off, right ?
Lonesome, Vic Firth and Speed_Drums Thank this. -

I want that back row spot up against the grass. I'll put my tires right up against the curb, leaving a lot of space on the empty spot next to me.
I do it to reduce chances of getting hit. But I also don't like fighting for parking. If it gets down to that hour, I would rather take a rest area or a Walmart and just be done with it.Speed_Drums Thanks this. -
I'm home every day now days, but I never had any issues with parking when I was OTR; even in the occasional wee hours. For some reason, most every one was pretty excited to leave about the time I came into the lot. It usually went something like this when I rolled in. I would put my window down and hang my head out the window looking for the phantom spot like Capt. Ahab on the prowl for Moby Dick. Next thing you know some yahoo starts screaming bloody murder "DEAR, HOLY JESUS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! HE'S HERE! HE'S RIGHT HERE IN THE LOT!!!". I'm like "Hey buddy, what's going on? Is there some trouble in the area?". All I get back is door slamming, engines firing and all hell breaks loose at the parking lot exit, with mashed trucks, and then fully grown, half naked fat men running like the wind towards the interstate hollering "OUT THE #### WAY YOU SLOW MOVING SLOTH! TRYING TO GET ME KILLED!".
