    East side of ft wayne pulled intl the flyin hook infront of schneider 10411...


    I took one of over a dozen open parking spots. It's only 5pm local time.


    He decided to pull through the fuel island, park and go inside......

    Not saying I am necessarily right but I will sometimes, on occasion, do this myself if I am only going in to go 10-100 and get moving again. I can pee and get back in and running before anyone can fill their tanks using the pump behind me. I figure I am leaving a space open for someone who needs it for their break. If I am going in to get food or something that takes longer I always park in a space.

    You know I actually saw one of those 400 pounders pull ahead after fueling and get out and pee on the ground between the trailer and tractor before going inside to get his fuel ticket. Fifty feet from the bathroom, Incredible.:biggrin_25513:

    What I usually do is pull up to the fuel pump and lay the hose on the catwalk then can take all the time I want inside, no one is the wiser.

    I like to pull fifth wheel pins in the lot of those 400lbs fuel island blockers, and when I hear the BOOM of the rolled up landing gear SLAMING ON THE GROUND I peak out the curtains and giggle MAO !

    U know it happens all the time in busy and small truck stop area's. Just keep list or
    highlight in pocket guide and avoid in the future. No problem.
