Same thing happened to me in Palestine, AR at Loves...Werner driver on the fuel island and I've waited at least 20 minutes in my truck, but still no movement. Finally I went to the fuel desk looking for the driver and had him paged, no answer.
Another driver sees that I'm fuming and offers to guide me back and fuel before him, I tell him thanks, but I'm gonna find this driver because of the principle fact that they are showing no consideration or respect for any other drivers.
Manager sends maintenance to check bath rooms and showers, not there either. Finally I go back outside, walk around the truck and notice the curtains pulled....bang on the door a few times and out comes driver with game controller in hand! I promise if I had Hulk strength I would have ripped the whole #### door off it's hinges! He's taking his 30 and needs to call his company to move the truck.x#1 Thanks this. -

I've got e-logs (don't drive for Schneider or Werner though) and its set so that as long as I keep it under 20 mph and go less than 2 miles I can still drive while on break, at least enough to move across the parking lot. These a holes were just being lazy. They could've moved without messing up their break.

First, missjhawk, "How big a ol gal are ya?"
No just kidding, but all the way around, you probably handled it the right way. Good for you, for not getting into trouble over this.
missjhawk, Joetro, Arkansas Frost and 3 others Thank this. -

Drivers just don't care.Its all about them.I get very angry when they're taking their sweet time at the pumps like eating,throwing their piles of garbage out ect.Its like why wasn't that done earlier.

I have been seeing this more and more and more. I watched an England team sit there and eat their pizza and smirk at the driver who was stuck behind them at the pumps as he was waving at them. I went in the store and they were still there when I came back out. There is this huge ## attitude out there and it's not just new drivers or the mega carriers. I understand the need to run in and use the bathroom and grab a snack. that I could care less about. But when they walk out with subway and two full bags of crap, that is just disrespectful. It takes me 7 minutes to fuel that truck once the pumps starts. I can be in and out of a T/s in 15 minutes and thats including potty time. there is no reason to be there a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes like I have been lately.
I don't understand how they can possibly think that they can stay in the fuel island if they are on a break. log off the qcomm and move the truck, then log in. mine will scold and hiss at miss if I so much as move the truck if I'm out ofhours, but it won't log a vioaltion if I don't go over a certain speed for a certain distancepattyj Thanks this.
