    You laugh but this actually happened to me. Not front row at the truck stop, THE LAST PARKING SPOT.

    This guy was sitting on my door and it was a mile of 4 wheelers behind him that made me go ahead and let him by. 5 miles up was a Loves truck stop. I was about out of drive time. I followed the guy into the truck stop and watched him take the last spot. I left and 30 miles down the road got an HOS violation looking for another truck stop.

    This one time event doesn't effect whether I decide to let someone go by or not. But it did suck.

    Sounds like it. I have had that happen to me a few times as well.
