Then you'll cry and whine about not being able to park anywhere..
Right next to the CAT scale & fuel isle Pilot in Middlesboro, KY.

It's disappointing seeing some of you mf's leaving your piss jugs in the fuel island with an empty trash can less than a foot away.

Goddamn flip-flop people have no goddamn idea; have no responsibility to this land. Back home they just throw whatever on the ground. Americans if nothing else have an ounce of investment in preventing littering...won't resort to this level of bullshit.
Illustrious-Tip-2736@reddit
I've seen plenty of red blooded Americans wearing flip flops, pooring their jugs out their driver door, dropping trash bags wherever, and bringing grocery carts to the truck and not returning them. It's a matter of no one actually getting in trouble for the behavior, not cause THEY AINT FROM ROUND HERE

I've seen more of the 'Trump worshiping' type do nasty acts at truck stops more than any other group. Yet, they're the most obnoxious, and hypocritical group, especially online while they're posting their lies and exaggerations on how bad 'everyone else' is.
There's a youtube clip of a fat, white slob at a truck stop taking a crap outside his truck, since he was too lazy to waddle his fat ass to the bathroom. One of my earliest memories of something similar was a boomer type driver going spread eagle over an extremely overflowed toilet, leaving his mess for the poor truck stop workers to clean.
Yet, since those types are the most vocal online, their racebaiting garbage dominates the narrative, yet the truthful stereotypes of your typical 'nasty trucker' are them.

No you haven't. You've seen nasty people do nasty things and your cult tells you who to think it is. There's a difference. Put the crack pipe down and breath some fresh air for once in your life. Maybe consider leaving the cult you're in too.
Sir_Uncle_Bill@reddit
Yep
TruckerBiscuit@reddit
The tiny percentage of Americans who act like this is a fucking fraction of those born in places where not giving a shit is the norm and observe their native norms instead of respecting how Americans do things.
Are there native-born American scumbags? Obviously. Do foreigners who have no investment in this country and industry other than the bag comprise the bulk of those fucking things up for the rest of us? Also yes.
ShineOnEveryone@reddit
Reminds me of the people from Iowa I saw who were dumping out Styrofoam into the street simply because they weren't from here.
hotdogsNtunafish@reddit
I think you prime drivers are worse than most non Americans. But that's just me reacting to you singling this out as a immigrant problem. We need to all stick together on trucking regardless of where we were born.
TruckerBiscuit@reddit
It'd be easy if I hadn't been raised in a place where 'throw your trash on the ground no problem' wasn't the norm.
I'll walk my detritus to a trash can 10/10.
This is absolutely a fucking immigrant problem. Mt Vernon ain't fuckin' Mogadishu or Jalalabad no matter how you slice it. Want to explain low rates? Motherfuckers happy to work for slave wages are the problem.
hotdogsNtunafish@reddit
I don't agree with your opinion but you are entitled to it. I'm not here to change anyone's mind. Be safe out there. Also to my immigrant coworkers and those trucking: you be safe as well.
TruckerBiscuit@reddit
I also want them to succeed. I want them to observe and respect the norms of Americans in doing so.
rosiesunfunhouse@reddit
The norms of Americans? My guy, have you been to a truck stop? The Americans on their road trips and on their way to work and home are literally just as trashy and “disrespectful of the norms of Americans” as the “fucking immigrants” you’re so angry about.
B22EhackySK8@reddit
True americans litter a lot too im from France and it happens there too but not as much as america. Also many people who are from overseas may also come from countries who dont have a waste treatment system. My mom does government work in Africa and says they just litter anywhere because there is no waste treatment management due to such poor infrastructure. Does it mean that people who come from those areas should be littering here too, obviously not, but Americans in general really dont realize how good they have it when jt comes to actually living in a country where we have some sort of waste management system.
VigilantThinker@reddit
Not that I do this but where’s the right place to empty piss jugs? Last time I dumped it in the portable potty but they are not always available
LadyLohse@reddit
Most of em arent even half full, such a waate
Fibrosis5O@reddit
That’s degenerate behavior
Sir_Uncle_Bill@reddit
Yep. Take pics of all of it with the trucks company logo and number in them and send them to the company and tell them you're posting all over the internet.
Remarkable_Novel6788@reddit
Some of these guys can barely climb out and in of the truck let alone walk to the trash can 🙈 it’s a very bad situation to witness in real life
ndarmr@reddit
They need to alter the dot physical criteria...if you can't see your penis without using a mirror you're too fat to truck...if you need a grippy stick and wipes to clean your ass your too fat to truck...if the truck tries to tip over when you climb the steps....that's just a safety hazard for everyone...if you exceed the capacity of an analog floor scale, no medcard for u
Remarkable_Novel6788@reddit
I’m actually, most guys and gals started out just fine. It’s the lifestyle that comes with the job that is causing the problems. When I was over the road, it was literally burgers and hot dogs from Loves or Pilots fuel stations. Was punching 70-80 hrs per week with little breaks in between to allowed a healthier lifestyle.
moldschlager@reddit
Exactly
hooligan-6318@reddit (OP)
I've spotted a half dozen "parking areas" just this past couple weeks that have been closed off to truck parking. Places that have existed for over 20 years, no more due to trash and filth if I had to guess.
Trash in two different spots was getting out of hand 3 years ago when I quit driving. I'd grab a bag, gloves, and a trash picker and dink around a bit just to get out of the truck in the evening, but there's only so much you can do without a haz mat suit, lol.
LargeAd857@reddit
What’s way more upsetting in a truck stop is bobtails taking up full size parking spots. You can park anywhere else.
moldschlager@reddit
Especially when theres an empty bobtail section at the front of the lot
hooligan-6318@reddit (OP)
Actually no, in some places you can not. I got ran out of several lots what few times I ever bobtailed. Felt like a total dumbfuck parking in a full truck spot, so I'd park out of the way in the car lot, caught hell for doing it. (Even next to RV's)
Luckily, it was rare for me to have to bobtail.
U_wind_sprint@reddit
Surely they weren't left there. Just cleaning out, right... Right?!
hooligan-6318@reddit (OP)
Appeared to be one of the trucks camped out there for the weekend
revelation6viii@reddit
I would have tied it to the air lines or set it on their catwalk.
Outlaw11091@reddit
Why is the landing gear so fucking low?
You know, I'd give the dude the benefit of the doubt with the litter, but too lazy to completely stow the gear?
Nah...all that trash is his. Ffs.
GodOfUtopiaPlenitia@reddit
Dude! I'll forget to throw a bag out of my truck when I'm fueling and the trashcan is literally next to the door!
I don't get slobs who just toss/drop their shit wherever & dress like they're drinking their first morning coffee in their backyard...
tractorferret@reddit
Who cares how you dress, the truck stop is someone’s backyard. As long as their clothes fit, and also fit their job description then who cares what they are wearing
sk8zero0619@reddit
They should get fines/kicked off the property for this shit
ndarmr@reddit
Need to ban crst, cr england, welfare express, cotc from all the truck stops first...for the sake of our hoods
tractorferret@reddit
Really cotc? Didn’t know they were that bad
sk8zero0619@reddit
My poor, poor, fender mirror. Taken by swift, in the prime of its life
ndarmr@reddit
That's dry van/reefer/imod drivers for ya
ColonEscapee@reddit
Take some duct tape and strap that shit to his rig... I think I'd crawl up and tape it to the windshield or passenger mirror
hooligan-6318@reddit (OP)
If I'd seen this driver toss it out personally, I'd have asked him what his friggin problem is.
Troubador222@reddit
I have pulled into places like that and had trash in the lot and ya know what? I am not getting paid to pick it up. I take my trash to the trash can that gets emptied once a week and add it to the pile there. But just because it’s next to my truck where I park it does not make it mine.
hooligan-6318@reddit (OP)
That's why I didn't put that particular truck on blast, I doubt the yellow bag, and scattered lose shit is his.
Black bag looked like it could've been his, but I personally didn't see him toss it out.
Hxncheaux@reddit
This is deviant behavior at its finest. A certified hooligan most definitely did this.
hooligan-6318@reddit (OP)
A certified hooligan would've chucked it back in the cab of the truck after lighting it on fire.
Fit_Hospital2423@reddit
I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of the people who do this shit have no concern for the trucking industry because they will be out of it within the next year…and all of the career truckers have to deal with the consequences.
ndarmr@reddit
Which is why the industry is in the sorry state it's in.... Career drivers are being threatened with electric trucks that can think with themselves all because of these people who had no business being a driver to begin with
NeoAcario@reddit
Littering should be a 30 day suspended license. Rates sure would go up fast due to less drivers.
PriorFudge928@reddit
Those people across the street have an awesome house but a terrible view.
Bamfurlough@reddit
I hate litter bug truck drivers. I would love to see those littering signs that you sometimes see enforced and increased. If somebody throws garbage out the window of a vehicle they should be fined $1,000.
vizarhali@reddit
I see that and reporting him. If that doesn't work I'm strapping it to his trailer and piss jug spilled on the door handles of his trailer
Osena109@reddit
Maybe am in the minority here. But I don’t have a piss jug. I use McDonalds cups… but I throw them away in the trash cans.
Mur_cie_lago@reddit
Ami always laugh at the hypocrisy when "Americans" get mad at the "migrants", when both do shit similar like this...
Spiderman pointing at spiderman meme.
JustLTL@reddit
Yes there's plenty of shitty Americans there's no denying that. But in my experience easily 90% of the flip flops I've come across don't give a flying fuck about anyone or anything and fuck everyone else.
Illustrious-Tip-2736@reddit
I don't understand people who wear flip flops the same as I don't understand guys who drive with cowboy boots on. I've seen both exhibit the same gross behavior. People in general just don't care anymore cause there's almost no chance they'll get in trouble

this is disgusting but sadly not surprising.
