    Well, once again, there are people that need a clean, hot, shower. And the infomercial says park. It doesn't anything about parking in a space. So I can fully understand how people can get confused.

    I only stop in front of the fuel island if it’s not busy at all and I only need to run in for 2 minutes. Beyond that I’m not about holding people up because it pisses me off when people do it to me. Now I’ve never witnessed it but people taking showers while parked at/in front of the fuel island is ######## and those trucks should be towed. Most times I stop during the day with so many spots open and people still don’t care and block the fuel and scales ‍♂️ Lazy drivers.

    It's just more convenient to park in the fuel island that way when I go take a shower I don't have to walk too far to get back to my truck.
    Lmfao. Just joking, that pisses me off to I see it all the time. Couldn't resist making a smart a SS comment about it though.

    too many words that I cannot put up here but let's just say the initial D M F and leave it at that.
    however I did have the pleasure of one of JNJ Express Inc of Memphis Tennessee off of getwell Road pull into the pilot caddo Mills tx on I30 the other day and well let's just say: he decided to take a shower and I sat behind him for 40 minutes.. you know what I love about Google is you could pull up a company look at their overview one you can read all the reviews about him the good in the bad but you can also post photos LOL and simply put in some nice pictures where it says add photos publicly
    well guess what truck number 585 got his dubious recognition if you go to JNJ Express Inc old getwell Road Memphis Tennessee on Google and look at the reviews you should be able to see me: trucker Kev the paid tourist and my review of that company and see some of the pictures because not only am I a Google guide I'm an active Yelp her for years to got out of Yelp for a while but came back to it again the last few months. I've done it to more than one I see you park in a fire lane during the daylight hours in the parking lot's empty or a handicap spot and you're completely capable I'm giving you your dubious recognition not only to the world but so your company can see I simply post it right to their Google page where you look at the overview of the whole company and add photos done it a couple weeks ago to one of the clowns with transport service Kenan advantage flying up the atchafalaya bridge on I-10 between breaux bridge and grosse Tete flammable placard left lane about 70 miles an hour oh yeah he became an internet star for all the wrong reasons represent the trucking industry too. but it's basically based out of ignorance and a lot of these foreigners that come here that know no better because they weren't brought up with manners and some just don't care unfortunately and that's all I'll say about that but feel free to look up JNJ Express Inc Memphis Tennessee on Google and see if the review is there from good old trucker Kev LMAO
