Is the driver wearing flip flops?

? Is he taking up the whole lane in there ? He could have parked closer to the tank ? Maybe he didn't want to be crowded grin

He's probable the same kid of driver that parks by the pumps then go inside to eat, shop and kill time before hitting the road. Meanwhile other trucks are lined up waiting to put on fuel. Attedance usually won't do anything about it.

wink When I haul full deluxe horse trailers, I do leave enough room to check everything and everyone inside as I fuel up. I don't like squeezing around hoses or curbs . I try to keep in my lane, howevah

Did you take a look at the other side. My guess is he is fueling up both tanks at the same time. Very typical around here but usually in desiganted truck pumps. Maybe there weren't any designated truck pumps for a good bit and he was running really low. "Don't judge, be curious."

It’s common practice for a moron.

The driver is a d-bag. That’s why the hose is so long and on a cable. You fuel the one and toss it over behind the cab to do the other.

Is he filling saddle tanks on both sides at the same time? Doesn't look like the nozzle is in the right tank however.

They are probably Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi. Over half of the truckers that I have seen around here are from those countries. There are Dhabas, little Indian, roadside trailer restaurants, at most exits near me, with lines of truckers buying food at them.

I'm a trailer mover, I see a lot of the same and more. You can literally tell someone where to park their trailer and even get out point and say put it here. They'll ignore me and park it somewhere else and often times struggle to get it in a hole only to have me move it. Or they'll park it 15 feet away from a trailer or in the middle of an open spot that's 50 feet wide, be crooked as crap and think they done a good job. Congrats you hit the lot. It's better if I just drive away and avoid saying what I'm thinking.

I am glad I never had to do OTR. At times it's bad enough dealing with them in the lot let alone on the road or in a truck stop.

Some of the foreign drivers are pretty decent, Most Hispanics are. I think most of them want to work and I give them credit for that. I've spoken into a translator phone many times so they can understand. Doesn't always work out but they usually try. Some others I'd like to choke, slap along side the head with a hammer or kick in the nuts so they don't reproduce. Several of the Russian, Polish, Somalian, Jamaican or whatever seem to feel entitled and they think they rule everything. I try to bite my tongue and play nice. Not always easy.

We’ll just get fuel somewhere else for the next 6 months.

Im guessing a democrat driver. The kind of democrat that always goes slow in the fast lane but refuses to move over. Also the kind that are loud and obnoxious when in a group together at a restaurant. The kind that usually feels like a certain other race owes them everything.

I agree but that's not always possible.
