This Guy Is Super Inconsiderate.

Yeah nice and quiet there always plenty of room. What time you usually take a 30?
Thanks to the Joy's of Linehaul Sometime between 3 and 5 am usually. Depending on if my trailers are ready or not lol
Linehaul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.
Haha yeah I hear that well maybe I'll catch you in there. Be cool to meet a member. If you ever see a yellow and red Pete 389 day cab hauling a Dean's trailer that would be me.
Day Cab:
A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
It would be, I know I've seen Dean's trailers there I just don't remember what was pulling them. If you see a Old Dominion set behind the building under the big light that is never on it's probably me
I'll keep my eyes peeled.
Big Scott keeps on it
First, this guy was gone within an hour. Second, he was sitting in the driver's seat seeing that he was in the way. Third, at the time there were many spots, some two or three in a row. He really had no good excuse.
As far as the guys pulling one RV or boat, may be a "hot shot" delivering it. I hate when they are small enough to fit in car parking and take a truck spot. I also hate when small box trucks take one of our spots. However, I get a spot every night. I always know where, I'm sleeping.
He clearly did not realize the err of his ways (maybe not a professional driver) and like Old School said probably didn’t want to back the non-commercial rig into a spot.
If he was really blocking your way, why didn’t you politely ask him to move?
Yeah I don't think we can rip into too this guy too hard here. Just this morning I'm positive a driver was fast asleep in the far lane of the fuel island. So can't say every truck driver out there is setting the gold standard for parking etiquette.
Is that the Marathon on US 30 in Grovertown In?
This was a Pilot on I81 in Virginia.
Where he is parked in a truck stop with quite a few spots left, he is in the way.
Old thread, I know.. I come across these often, as you know, Big Scott.....
Just wondering;
Was this determined to be Marc Lee ?!?!?
Pretty sure it wasn't Navypoppop~!! ;)
Just wondering if any of y'all 'weekend warriors' stuck working/driving this weekend have encountered some 'shady' parking dealios, at the truck stops. ?!?
This weekend sure is the TIME for it!!
Sorry; and hope all you drivers, & your families, have and are ... being safe this holiday weekend.
Happy Independence Day..
