Truckstop Manners

YTA here. It's a truck stop. Trucks are gonna be driving around and backing into spots and pulling out of em. Close the curtains and go to sleep. If they don't hit you it's not your problem.

 

Let me guess…you’re also the guy who cries because a reefer parks next to you?

 

If you open your windows you will hear everything around you loud and clear. Get used to it.
In truck stops trucks pull in and go out at odd hours, and if they decide to do training pulling in and out at odd hours it is their right to do so.
To your question... Yes, you are in the wrong here.

 

Trucking is a 24/7 endeavor, but only by the Truckers.

This is why you don't park in the mega truck stops. Mega truck stops draw mega fleeters (and foreigners) and everything that comes with them. Park somewhere else and avoid all that mess...

For the record I'd be pissed too. Nothing you can do about it other than leave.

 

That is a good trainer to find the time to help with the student's backing, especially at midnight when the guy would rather be sleeping. It is not like backing is something they can practice any time tgey wish. Your spot was likely the safest place they could do it at without risking hitting something.

 

When I ran reefer it always made my day when I could park between two flatbeds.

 

If you gotta ask if you're in the wrong, then either you're looking for validation or verbal abuse. You dang sure ain't gonna get validation from me on this one lol because I think you were wrong 100%.

I'm sensing that you must be an inexperienced driver. Your sleep is your responsibility. You had no business confronting those drivers. The first thing you need to learn is that trucking is not a 8-4:30 kind of industry. It's 24/7. I actually have respect for that driver for training that student on backing at that time of night, and in the truck stop. That trainer knows that's the reality of trucking. Backing into spots at the truck stop when its late, when you're tired, is the reality of trucking. The industry needs more of those trainers.
