Waken by a Loves employee beating on my door.

And you can always report me.

Click on the person's name a small box opens. Select Ignore. And done.

However I sense your emotional needs are better served by being stressed enough to report all of us meanies who are trying to make your parking life a royal diadem.

Understand that this forum, the people if they have the mind to do so will tell you off exactly the medicine you need. I had a member here explain to me how badly my thoughts on a topic was horrible and has no value. I needed to hear that lesson and understand for this month there has been too much dying. What do I do with this member? Nothing at all. He is a valued person whose thoughts reflect decades of trucking. I am the one who made the adjustments by not addressing certain topics anymore and reduce the problems therein. At some point in the fututre we all will be well.

Thats how you get along and do better in these forums and also in life. You are supposed to be a Americn Long Haul Trucker And a Professional at that.

A no parking sign and zone shoul d not be flouted by you or anyone. No parking is no parking.

So.

Medicine and lesson two.

Pretrip planning. You need to have a plan B which assumes a half empty truckstop 12 miles ago. Hop in there and call it a day for your sleeper time or whatever precious pressing need left undone by 7 days of your dispatcher insistently pushing you to do this do that, hurry here Now you have a massive plate of food, dreams to organize for tomorrow and a good nights sleep to catch. Without some employee beating on your door howling at you to move that *&^% thing.

So much peace and rest in such places.

 

If you see that as rude, well.. that gives me a measuring stick of what you are ranting about.

Thank hankfor saying which Loves. Now I know which one to think when I send corporate a thank you note.

Also you might not want to report that least you get in trouble for abusing the reporting system.

 

meh, you know you were in the wrong. That's not the time to get bent out of shape about the guy who wasn't in the wrong having attitude IMO.

I'm mixed on this one though. Two simple facts that I see, one is that there is a shortage of truck parking and two is that parking in no parking areas of truck stops seems to be accepted in most places.

Though I have never had to park in a no parking area there's been many times when I have squeezed into one of the few remaining spots, spots that would probably be taken if not for people parked in no parking areas.

I know the day will come when I can't find a spot and have no hours available to go down the road.

 

maybe should have stopped at the rest area 2 miles before that love's. it's BIG and lots of shoulder areas

 

How about you don’t park illegally and maybe you won’t get rudely woken up.

 

Plan your runs better.It makes this unnecessary.

 

Park in the wrong "No Parking" zone in some cities and the Local LEO will be waking you up with a nice hefty citation for parking in a "FIRE ZONE".

 

Great..maybe I can now get out of my legal space...

 

My experience was the opposite with Loves, one of the very few nights I parked creative was at a Love’s on 26 in SC. Yes, I was flatbed parked at entrance on right side right behind other line of trucks & absolutely last spot available, but still plenty of room for any truck to get in & night manager said I was ok. SC highway patrol woke me up to inform me he almost hit me coming in lot. He got upset when I asked him how a couple hundred semis got around me but he almost hit me in a car. Loves manager informed him they OK’d me to park there & it was there lot. I did move to a proper spot, go back to sleep.
