The weather today took out a lot of drivers...glad I took the day to work on my air dryer.
This one yesterday before the snow at the Fort Bridger TA really confuses me... How do you get up enough speed in that TA parking lot to flip your rig...
The way the truck is pointed makes it seem that it was not coming into the parking lot or you would see the fuel island.

I traveled 7 hours from my State to another States last weekend to watch a motorsport event at Bathurst NSW, not stopped once, except at the entrance gate to check how much alcohol we had, that we had entry tickets, that we had no drugs and that we were double-vaccinatedSpeed_Drums, LoSt_AgAiN, homeskillet and 3 others Thank this. -

If he made a left out of the fuel islands and kept accelerating going around the store... I could see it. Especially if the driver made a hard left around the parked trucks to get to the driveway............ throw in a freak gust and flop he go.LoSt_AgAiN, homeskillet, BennysPennys and 4 others Thank this. -
It doesn't take much at all depending on how you're loaded. I've seen trucks roll on cloverleafs even though they were going under 15 mph.LoSt_AgAiN, homeskillet, dwells40 and 5 others Thank this.

I guess I am always extra cautious in parking lots in general and specifically with that type of angle parking that the thought of trying to save 14 seconds by speeding through there never even seemed like a possibility to me. That parking lot is only ~ 500 feet long.
I think I will keep it that way as I value a clean ten-year driving record and a clean conscious more.
BTW...being Wyoming based, we don't have "freak gusts" just freak periods of calm winds

The only good onion is a Vidalia onion, and only then when seared with lots of the butter.LoSt_AgAiN, JolliRoger, Dale thompson and 4 others Thank this.
