    Yeah ...... No.

    I’m looking forward to you “riling me up” somewhere down the road while I’m doing my job the best way I can. Your suggestion about leasing an open lot is just stupid

    I’d be happy to. You take up more than one space on someone else’s truck stop lot when that lot is full you’ll meet me.

    It’s ethical behavior that’s missing. Bet you’re the first to point out that lack in others.

    What if both trucks get fuel at that location, then is it ok to hold a spot?

    Okay....i can see if both drivers take a 10 at the TS ......but I think remaining in Bobtail status still wouldnt make sense......if the swap times are well coordinated.....then ideally , both drivers would be settled in underneath a trailer....and if anybody tries to give grief to the bobtail holding that spot, he should be able to use that as a valid excuse.....until the other driver arrives.....I can see how that could play out......
