Exactly. I also get ticked off when bobtails take our parking spaces.

Especially in the Horse Shoe Pit Area! Petros (and other truck stops) are adding them for Professional Drivers to exercise, but I don't think they want them being used as a Pet Relief Zone.

1. Nose in parking. Never put yourself in a position where you have to back out of a tight spot. This is just flat out being lazy.

2. Don't make me have to bang on your door to get out of my legal parking space. Be considerate of others.

Congratulations!!

Hard work and determination pays off.

Most companies pay detention pay after the second hour. Detention pay may not totally compensate for cpm but it's better than nothing.

I always call the shipper or receiver and ask if they have overnight parking. Case and point I was at HEB in Buda, TX and parked at receiver overnight and never had to worry about burning my clock up even though it took the lumpers 6 hours to unload me. If there isn't any overnight parking get as close as possible to the shipper or receiver and try to get that 10 hours break in before arriving to destination. Some drivers put themselves in bad hour of service situations by being lazy lolly gagging and only running hard on the final day of the trip. Every once in a while you'll get that hot load with tight time restrictions, other that weather and mechanical issues there is absolutely no excuse for running out of time.

Reefer will always have freight because people got to eat.

Looks to be alot of fun lol!!

Im in Austin, TX and my current temperature reading is 77 and sunny.

Loving it!!

I got the courage to creep out of Eastern Missouri and reach the other side of the rainbow here in Tulsa Oklahoma. It is currently clear at a nice crisp 48.

Rub it in lol!!

Sunny and 50* here. but it's only 7:20 in the morning. Should go up to 75 or so today!

Just rub it why don't you, I'm so envious as I sit in my Igloo!

Listening to other truckers complaining and being such a negative pessimist about everything.
