Can't say there has ever been a problem at truck fuel islands.
Thoughtless car driver stories at fuel stations however, abound. They usually revolve around a car abandoned at the end or only gas/diesel pump when there are plenty of gas only pumps for them.
Fuelling often presents a unique problem for us. Most require a zip code for the credit card. A US postal code. Our credit cards are not linked to a US address therefore no zip to enter. This means a trip inside to the often very busy counter to prepay or get an authorisation. Time consuming. We do our best not to waste time. The DW trots off inside, radio in hand, so that there is no walking back & forth.
It is not perfect but the best we can do.
