Don't be this person--PIC

[cbshoestring]

A. As a truck driver, it is discouraging when I hear someone make a comment about "those dumb@$$ truck drivers". First off, I bees calledge ejukated--second, most drivers are just trying to make a living. RVers seem to have a bit of a love/hate relationship with their bigger brothers :B

B. As a person who enjoys RVing, I always get a chuckle when towing my TT and I hear some recent truck school grad on the C.B. commenting how I should have a special license---and probably can't even back the trailer up. I chuckle because I never went to any fancy 6 week school---I learned the old way, with the guy who owned the truck next to me, threatening to beat me in the head if I wrecked his truck. I probably have more miles backing up, then that smart@$$ has going forward (he doesn't know about "A").

HOWEVER... Stupid is STUPID. Please note the parking spaces to the left & the spots to the right. The angle wasn't the best, but this RV is squarely parked in the travel lane between the parking spaces.

Please don't be this person...

I have to give some leeway for everybody. I drive an RV, a truck, an automobile, a motorcycle, and bicycles, plus I run on the streets.

There is every type in every category. Some good, some not so very much.

I have not parked there yet, but when tired I AM that stupid. So I apologize in advance.

Hey you all, remember, if you got it, it came by truck. And please do not complain about farmers on the road while you mouth is full of food!

I have met some great truck drivers and I have come across some green stick no it all's that just need to mature. I see the same thing with fellow RVers, some seem to go out of their way to be obnoxious and others would do any thing for fellow RVer or a trucker. I try to remember the trucker is working, and I am on a pleasure cruise. That does not mean he has more driving rights; but I am in no big hurry and I probably am not tired from driving too many miles. Peace be with you.

This is crazy. Sometime it is tough to find a spot but even then that is not an excuse. Plenty of parking available in the picture.

I generally do not have issues with trucks on the road, all is good for the most part. The only thing that drives me nuts is on a 2 lane highway when a truck pulls out to pass another truck and they are basically going the same speed, it takes miles and miles for them to make the pass. This is an issue more when I am not towing...

Maybe we could "assume" he had a major breakdown and could not get to a space. Nobody could be THAT stupid ...... could they? :h

I don't think it is a question of a lack of time but a total lack of caring about their fellow human beings.
Or "the me first attitude" has overridden common sense.

I like this, couple of boxes would be very handy. Driving for 37 yrs. nothing suprises anymore.

(Heee!... Heeee! .... kind of makes me glad it's a CLASS-A for once and not a TT with a dualy diesel)... (snicker,snicker!) 😄

Another reason why I don't do Truck Stops unless I have absolutely no other choice!

You can't fix rude/stupid.

That was me...sitting at the fuel pump, taking pictures with my phone, so I could post it on here....holding up the line.

Truck drivers are just like any other group of people....some of them are great, some OK, and some are less than OK. I've had a lot of truck drivers signal me when it's ok to pass into a lane or provide an opening to get over. In return, I try to return the favor when I see that a truck needs to merge in front of me. I've never encountered any grief when parked in a truck stop area where it's the only place for RVs to park. And, I know it certainly isn't an easy way to make a buck! For the drivers that are less than OK, after saying a few "not so nice" words to myself....or to the DW, I just ignore them as they're not any worse than a lot of folks driving cars!

They didn't have time to park it correctly. The special on the chicken fried steak was about to run out!

[SolidAxleDurang]

I've read plenty of posts here on this forum.

I'm not surprised at this pic at all.
