Truck Stop Parking: Why Are Some People Just Stupid?
Topic 5601 | Page 4
I hate to beat a dead horse but I guess if they offer you the stick and lay down in front of you then they are asking you to beat them.
I think someone is playing a dirty trick on this driver and posted a no parking sign behind his truck while he ran inside the service Plaza. See those tire tracks at the bottom of the picture? Yea those are tire track of people turning into the lane to accelerate and get back on the turn pike. Yes he is basically parked in the area where people start to pick up speed to merge into traffic. Perhaps he did not see that big ole sign that he had to have passed to park the way he did. This was in Pennsylvania on the turnpike this time. Perhaps Pennsylvania have a special exemption that allows people to park in a clearly posted no parking area?
To think we complain that the government is to tough on us and always passing new regulations yet we, as and industry, can't manage to follow very basic and simple parking lot signs that are posted there for a very good reason.

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
Don't forget the cone! The-cone-the-cone! Someone placed that cone there, behind his trailer after he parked and went into the rest area.

I'm not sure how to feel about this post. I want to believe the guy just made an innocent mistake....but I know the likelihood of that. Inconsiderate people just suck. Then there's me, trying to figure out of it's better to have the front 15 feet of my truck sticking out, or the back.
No matter where I go, I'm just too big to fit. Which is an ego boost, but not particularly practical. At least I can make the 53' guys super jealous in the corners.

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

Anne, I love me some Randy Travis. And Maren Morris says, "if the bones are good, the rest don't matter". These are some good bones.

Truckers don't have a monopoly on *******s. Rather your drive professionally or just drive for necessity, you have a license than you can read a sign. One of the biggest pet peeves I have is people with this entitlement attitude. I want to park there so I'm entitled to park there rather it's posted or not.
